It is actually sunny down here so it does not feel as cold.:0 It is the first time we have seen the sun for days. Temperature are really suppose to fall over the next few days.

Afternoon, everyone...the sun peeked out for a whole 129 min., according to the weatherguy...it's been quite a cloudy January...
Soxie, I hope the doc can help you figure out what's going on...could it be sciatica? Anyway, hope you feel better soon
Kitty, hope you had a good nap!
Barb, hang in there...you can count the months now!!
Wiz, miss ya, too...

I feel very sleepy right after breakfast every day this week...I have to nap. Then I feel better and can go work out...I actually cleaned the master bedroom and bathroom this afternoon...haven't cleaned like that since the surgery in Nov. Felt good to get something accomplished.

Sandy, hope Jim is feeling better...and, concerning your mom, abscence (sp) makes the heart grow fonder

Last night's lecture was good...kind of a review of MS, but a bit more specific esp MRIs and what the different lesions mean...also went over the approval of the new drug for improved walking...DH and I always come away better informed.

Well, hope all of you have a good afternoon...those of you in the path of that ice storm...be careful, and have the candles ready in case the electricity goes off

I was up at 6am getting everyone off to work/school, I tried to stay up. I fought that nap, but come 9am I was out. The UTI is trying to come back, shot night was blahh, it was 18 degrees this morning. I am starting to feel like. I'm whining, I do not want to take another round of antibiotics. I'm allergic to most of the ones used for UTIs. Only option is stronger stuff that I don't want to use until a total emergency. So I'm spending my day resting and drinking water, taking cranberry tabs, and drinking more water!

Pam, I'm sorry. I hope you UTI is not coming back. I am allergic to alot of antibiotics too. I understand your reluctance to take them.

Debbie, Thanks I am trying not to count down the months. Right now 2012 seems like a long time. What did your neuro think about the new med?

Sun was out here for about three hours. By the time I got out of class it was gone. I have been checking airline tickets to Austin, Texas for Spring Break. I hate flying, but I haven't seen my little sister or niece since July. Prices have really gone up since last year. The best deal so far means a connection in O'Hare (Chicago) which I really try to avoid, but it does originate from an airport only 50 minutes from here. I usually have to drive to Indianapolis or St. Louis to catch a plane ( over two hours drive).

Anyone who drives a Toyota please be careful!!

Hey all,
Barb, my neuro ran some of the trials for it...thinks it's a very good drug for symptom management...and 10 mg 2x/day is all that is needed...trials showed that increased dosage didn't improve walking ability any more than the 10 mg. He's really excited, since it is the first drug exclusively approved to treat a symptom of MS...all the others...baclofen, zanaflex, etc., are approved for other diseases, but used off-label for MS.
My DH is counting down the years until he can retire...packages to leave have been offered to his level off and on in the past, but they felt he was "too valuable" to receive one...told him that's what you get for being so smart
Pam hope you're better soon...

Burned bill receipts from '03 and '04 in the fireplace tonight...I keep them for 5 years.
DH is at a meeting tonight, so I get to watch the State of the Union by myself. Was invited to a watch party, but decided to stay home...

Our Camry hybrid isn't on the list...at least I don't think so. I have noticed a revving of the engine occasionally in my Lexus hybrid suv...it scares the bejeesis out of me...but it only lasts a few seconds. I've mentioned it to the repair shop at Lexus...they look at me like I'm crazy. We'll see...

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday evening!

Hi Everybody!

I'm in the hotel after navigating here on very slippery roads. I'm hoping this doesn't last. Only two more days of training, yippee!!!

I just finished a big taco thingy from Chipotle. Yummy!! It was delicious!

Everybody have a good Thursday and I'll try to check in tomorrow. Hugs, prayers and good vibes to all who need them.

I just admire you so much, Wiz. I know this can't be easy for you to do.....but you have such a cheerful attitude about it. I'm so glad you're enjoying your new job. Just reading about it makes me tired!

Ditto, Wiz, I respect you so much...your attitude is awesome!

Hi every one. Hope your all ok. Just seem to be busy doing nothing at the moment. Im sending you all warm wishes and healing thoughts. Love Jackie xxxxxxxxxxx
