((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) feel better soon Barb!

Not much to report here as of yet either other than back spasms kept me up all night!

Hi all. Feel like I got hit by a mac truck this morning. LOL, I blame hubby. He suggested I take a Tylenol PM last night to see if that might help me sleep better. It did, but makes me want to sleep longer too.

Hoping that coffee ritual thing I have helps.

~~~~~

Barb, Hope you feel better soon.

Renee, sorry about the spasms, hun. Wish I had some suggestions to help you out.

Kay, I'm honored you took my suggestion for the goslings name. Thanks.

Vonn, Glad you are keeping busy. Sounds great.

Sandy, Your mom sounds like my MIL. I too generally keep my mouth shut because I love her. It's hard. Especially when stuff like this is going on.

Hang in there, and if you still need more to clean - You are more than welcome to come down here to Ohio.

Barb - You've really had a hard time this cold season. I am so sorry. Hopefully, with spring on it's way you will start feeling better soon.

Renee - I hate, hate, hate the back spasms during the night. Well, actually anytime. Legs and arms are more tolerable. I am sorry you had a rough night. Do you take anything for the spasms?

Fin - DBF takes Tylenol PM and wakes up the same way. Groggy. I'm sorry this is happening to you and I hope the coffee kicks in soon.

Hope you all have a great day!

Nothing much to report here either except I have to go out to get Bergie more antibiotics. She will now take antibitics for four months. I am currently waiting for the on call doctor (Jim's) to call since he too needs another round. I am beginning to think they are passing this crap back and forth somehow...haha

I hope all my board buds feel better soon. It's almost spring! Oh wait, some of you already know that don't ya? lol

*neener*

Cayo, thanks for the wonderful pics....as I said the kids love them...

thanks all...I dont know what was going on, but would get terribly dizzy as in past, but then vomitting too...missed half day of classes...but made it thru the rest...saved the owner some spending money as I was eating too many meals out few of the days....

anyhow..back into family swing of things, busy as always, work and kids...still at times getting dizzy, and feeling nausea with it...if continues will have to get checked out to make sure nothing other than my mysterious sxs....
hugss all, sarah

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. My sore throat seems to be going away. Now if I just did not have to blow my nose every 5 minutes...

I think I have been feeling kind of introspective the past week or so. I have been thinking about how much my life has changed in the past year. I began my series of MRI's and numerous doctor's visits about a year ago and was diagnosed in early April. I was so out of it, depressed, and scared last Spring/Summer. My biggest challenge is that I am a planner, and I do not like the feeling that I can not control or know what my future holds.

I also think all of the strong opinions about tysabri scare me at time. Part of me thinks I need to quit reading them. But then I feel the need to be informed and current.

On a more positive note, I did not use my cane when I went to the grocery store today. I have been using it less and less even though my left leg is still stiff. So I do think it is improving.

Does anyone else watch Top Chef? It is set in Chicago this year.

yeah, barb... I remember the time around my dx, even though it was so long ago.

it was an exhausting time for me... so many things changed, my plans, and dreams, and abilities, and emotions were a real rollercoaster.

hang in there, honey!

read all the stuff about Ty, and carefully form your own opinion, based on your personal risk analysis... that's the only way.

don't let anyone sway ya, pro OR con.

glad you're feelin' a bit better... but remember to slather your nose with something.

all that drippin' you may end up rubbing your poor nostrils raw.

Sarah, it makes me feel good that my photos bring some amusement to children out there.

feelin' the coggles of my heart go all warm 'n' fuzzy, lol!

ain't it amazing, that I'm half a world away, but we can still share our lives?

hugs to your kiddie-poos for me!

I know *exactly* what ya MEAN !!

today I woke up with a severe case of the MS mornin' hobble.

no way to disguise it, could only do my little hula-dance warm-up thing-a-ma-jigger, and try to shake it off, and get wit' da program!

and it's kinda scary for my houseguest to see... she has MS, but a (relatively) mild case, plus, I've had it for 20 years...

so, she sees ME all stiff and bent over, and it makes her fret a wee bit.

plus, I look kinda *scary* in the mornin' anywayze...

my update:

good news kiddies!

my ankle is now all better, and I'm walking well, if a bit slow.

and the goslings are growing FAST, already nearly a FOOT TALL !!

and we've hatched a dozen ducklings, and 19 chickens this week, and more guinea-babies on the way...

spring is springin' out all over Chez Kay.

but we desperately need some RAIN here...

our cistern is down to 16 inches, and the ground by the pond, well, the CRACKS in the mud are so DEEP that when I toss corn to my duckies, it falls IN, and they can't REACH it!

I usually do the morning corn feeding right nearby the house, but I've got FOUR ducky mommas on nests way out there, so I'm now doing "home delivery" for their brekkie, so they don't have to go so far, and leave their eggs... it makes 'em GRUMPY...

and my pond is so LOW... it's only two feet deep in the middle... GACK !!

so, any of ya Pagans, or hippies out there, getcher yayas up, and go do a freakin' RAIN DANCE for me, okay?

we have NO water service here in da jungle, we collect rainfall from the roof, so we're on STRICT "Navy Shower" water rules and rationing right now.



hey San? do I stink?
