    Update July 13 makes four months since I even looked at this!! One I'm wicked busy and Two- I CAN'T remember where I've BEEN!! ;>} So on the walking thing. I have to down grade the time to take maybe a year instread! BUT the good news in this is that as of March 09 I have a power chair I FOUGHT to get and won. I had a regular physical, a mammo, a PT visit, and just last week, three months later, I saw my Neuro to renew my Copaxone and the total out come of all of these appointments is that I have NOTHING wrong with me!! Hows that figure? I'm actually healthy as a horse!! I have very little change in my perscription for my eyes, also! I have glasses but I don't wear them unless I want to see very small print and it's more comfortable to knit,etc, especially if it's getting dark in the room. I just can't walk!! But all the tests are negative, no worries and the PT and Neuro both say my tone is fine. I'm getting around more and now I have a junk scooter to ride outside and go over the bumpy lawn and do yard work with, and the clean power chair for inside use to get to house clean better and take care of myself more consistantly! My bathroom is easier to get in and out of and the shower set up makes it almost effortless to take one now. So in the long run I think things are looking good if not up and there's always room for improvement in the physical area anyway.
    The advocacy part is booming part way. I have my peer support person for MS and our phone conversations are quite uplifting. My medical part is dragging because that's a business and its slow starting. I also have an upcoming renewal for the licsence I have already and I need CE for that and I'm studying now. Hope that passes becuase even though I haven't done business in two years, it's still a chance that I can make referals and share in commisions to have a few avenues of income open to me.
