Hi everyone...been AWOL for quite some time. Kitty, I remember all of the friends who would post daily. It WOULD take a while to read through them all!

We have been very busy the last few months. Went to Cancun in early December and had a nice time. DH's sister & BIL were there with us. It it beautiful in Mexico.

The kids were all in for the holidays. Two of the grand babies had bad colds, which I got after they left. Ugh...it seems to finally be letting up after a round of ABs.

Our DD is halfway through her 3rd pregnancy...they decided to move to get more room, and bought a 28 yr old house with lots of bedrooms. SIL will be in Heaven with all of the remodeling to be done. We are going to help with the move.

I've been doing pretty well...the usual winter spasticity has reared it's ugly head, but otherwise it's all good

Hope all are getting through another crazy winter...

Saw doctor today, will be trying physical therapy for herniated disc, evaluation is Monday. As far as anemia, will be checking to see if it is B12 or folic acid deficiency, will have blood rechecked in 6 weeks and see him again. In the meantime will use my TENS and take pain medicine.

Remember how active this thread was in the past??
Where are all of you and what's going on>

We just got back from 3 weeks in Hawaii...we just vegged. The first week we caught a cold from a passenger on the flight over who coughed up a lung. the vegging continued, only taking walks or swimming when we got warm.
One of the best vacations ever, even though I gained 5.5 lbs

We have been busy grand baby sitting and DD came down for a few days with her girls while DH went up with her hubby to paint and update lighting & electricity in their new home (new being a 28 yr old house). DD is 30 weeks pregnant so getting out of the house and away from fumes was an opportune time for me to have time with her

MS has been quiet, except for sleeping at dangerous times like driving. I can watch TV sitting straight up and sleep. I lie down in bed at night and am awake for hours. I am going to have to call the neuro to get nuvigil again

So I hope we get some updates on all of you here!!

Default Hello MS friends!

Glad to see you're all still kicking! All's well with me. Just said goodbye to my family visiting from AZ; parents + kids = 7! Now the house is empty b/c DH went on a group motorcycle ride to Durango, CO. Just me and the doggies here till Sunday.

Been sewing quite a bit. Have collected a few dozen vintage sewing machines over the past couple of years. Some even work, lol!!! Unfortunately, none of my grandkids (we have 10) seems to be interested in learning how to sew. *sigh*

Spent 2 months early this year practicing and learning 194 pages of piano music to accompany HS production of Beauty and the Beast. It def was a Beast!!! The finished product was farrrr from perfect (had to skip some parts and be creative with others--good thing they weren't paying me to do it, or I'd have gotten fired!) Next time I'll just say No, thankyouverymuch.

I just keep eating and getting fatter, and I've let my hair go gray/white. Some people don't recognize me, lol!

Guess that's all. Life is good. Love you guys and keep you in my prayers!

Nice to hear from you, Rochelle!

I'm not very active here but certainly did recognize your name and wanted to say Hi.

Congratulations on your projects. I've had to play piano now and then for group events, and people don't notice the mistakes nearly as much as you think they will.

I envy your ability to sew. I just crochet hats.

I love sewing! Hopefully your grandkids will get the sewing bug at some point, don't give up all hope just yet .

As a lefty, weird though it may sound, it actually took me a long time to get to where I love to sew, I even have an 1800's trendle machine that my DH got for me And it still works, though we had to replace the belts on it, I don't use it for anything but I still adore simply having it, and one day I'll think of a good project to make with it and hopefully not catch my poor fingers with it.

But I still remember when I was young my mom trying to teach me how to sew, and all I succeeded in doing was jamming up the machine every single time. If it hadn't been for my cousin wanting to make up a very complicated dress when we were teenagers (16/17) I don't think I ever would have braved a sewing machine again. But after helping my mom with the pattern since my cousin bought the wrong size and wanted to alter the shape of the dress some, I decided I would give it one last go. I already knew how to alter patterns but feared the sewing machine.

My mom was patient with us both and since I taught my cousin with some help from mom, how to alter her dress, my cousin in turn helped me with figuring out the sewing machine with a ton of guidance to both of us from my mom since my cousin had never sewn before either. But between the two of us we got it down and I've been sewing ever since, even my cousin still sews a little bit when she has the time (5 kids and 3 jobs!)

Maybe you just need to find a project that will inspire them, a nice rockabilly Halloween costume that would otherwise have cost a fortune... or making their own designer bags! Little purses are usually quite easy to sew up and you get something totally unique to yourself in a single day for very little money (certainly not the $30 and wayyyyy up that they charge for purses now a days)

Hey Twink!!!! It's so good to see you posting again. I'm sure you were a lot better playing the piano than you think you were. You are very talented. What cool sewing projects are you working on now?
