I'm so sorry Erin. You are just too young for this mean ***** disease to be
hitting you with both barrels. Let's face it, there really isn't a lot your Docs
can do for you. MS usually does not get better, except maybe for the short
term....It's a progressive disease. Maybe a 2 or 3 week in-hospital stay,
in a good rehab place?

I will keep you in my daily prayers that things get a bit better for you. I do
understand the friend thing. Except for one close friend, who's as old and
almost as infirm as I am, all of my friends are right here at NeuroTalk.
It also a lonely disease.

I'm sorta ok with it all now, what choice do I have, but I wasn't ok with it
in my 30s and 40s. You have every right to biotch and I'll be here to listen
and help if I can.

I actually had mentioned a stay in a rehab hospital for a few weeks. My neuro had also suggested it earlier this year. But, when I mentioned it again to him, he seemed to be a bit dismissive about it. I tried to ask the physiatrist about it. Again a little dismissive.

I didn't bother mentioning it to my regular doctor.

A stay in a rehab might be good. I could call it a working vacation, because I'd probably be doing a lot of working. At least I'd feel like I'm getting something done.

plus, if I was away for a couple of weeks, we could use the time away to get the tile guy in to fix my shower floor where the grout failed. (this is the shower that I had built several years ago. And it wasn't built by the guy that did the one we put in earlier this year. That guy does much better work)

Only problem with taking off to a rehab place, is that my parents would be here alone, and I'm the only person in the house that's driving. My dad can drive some, I just feel better doing the driving for him with his eye being all screwed up right now.
