Well, I have a Neuro appointment this afternoon and my left leg is doing it's "thing" so hopefully I can demonstrate how gimpy my walk is. Usually my symptoms seem to magically disappear whenever I have a Neuro appt. but reappear once I get back home.
![]() My hips have been hurting and I know it's my gait that's causing it. I wonder if he will suggest PT? If I slow to a snails pace I can walk fairly normally but nobody walks that slow normally. I've had the weirdest thing going on with my left leg, though. I'll be walking along...slowly....and it's like I lose the ability to move my leg when it's mid-air as I'm taking a step. Feels strange and when it happens I "stomp". My left foot doesn't land on the floor in a walking motion....my whole foot just lands flat on the floor. It won't do that again for a while but it always catches me off guard when it does. Sort of like my leg just freezes mid step. Is that as clear as mud? ![]() ![]() Oh well, just something else that only us with MS can relate to! ![]()

MRI went well this morning (up at 6 am, hospital at 6:45 am, was in the tube at 7 am or a bit after).
30 minute exam... 20 min pre-contrast, then 10 min or so after the injection. Do I ever dislike the 'cold' sensation that crawls through the arm/side of the body of the injection. Ick. I did fall asleep in the tube during part 1... Glad they had 'wedged' my head in place for imaging, since I dozed off and caught myself snoring. ![]()

I'm bored today. The hug reared it's nasty squeeze last evening. I tried doing something more physical today, like straightening up the house after our weekend but the hug yelled and squeezed me even more. So today I am laying flat on my back or on my side and applying ice and playing on the computer. I hate days like that and get so bored.
![]() ![]() Good things from today . . .I learned how to iChat this morning. DD19 is at her bf's parents house and needed something. Long story short, since her phone is not working right and she can only text, iChat was the easiest way I could read her the information she needed. It was pretty cool and i actually enjoyed it. |

heat index this afternoon was 113! That's how I'm doing. I usually don't allow my DH to take a handicap place near to the building. I figure that should be saved for some one worse than I am but I do't mind him taking the first space today.
I don't know why but I am still getting little checks as refunds form Moms accounts and I finally got word form the VA that they are ready to take thier money back so I have to take a trip to the bank tomorrow. I thought the VA electronically removed the money. I will call the local VA first and also ask the bank. I'm not sending just any check off to the VA. I want Moms checking account closed. Or at least give it over to my brother who lives 4 hours away but is the executor. |

HOT!
![]() mom got her goodbye quilt on monday. Refused to answer the door for UPS so they left it tucked in her door. As she left she kicked it into the bushes and it lay there till this morn. My sis went over to take her to an MD appointment and asked if she was crazy to leave it out there. She said "its from the liar! I dont want it, and...she gave it to my drug addicted sister! ![]() Saw a new neuro yesterday. Cute lil thing. She said "its time for your MRI!" I said "um..no!" she said "whuh? ![]() my son is surviving well after his car accident, but living with sticky head is getting to him. She is a money bully and keeps taking his paycheck. How can he save for a car if he has zero money? He has asked if he can come up here. I said "for retraining, yes! for hangout and sob stories, no!" so he has already called all of the phone #s I gave him. He has several interviews lined up. God save me. this is going to be hard. Thats how I am doing.
