Wow, time has flown.  I can't believe I have not been on here since September.  I guess I have been too distracted by trying to feel better.  I am still able to work (part-time) and I come home at noon each day and take a nap.  That gives me a few extra hours to be able to do something in the day.  However, I have been having lots of pain, nausea, and vomiting.  The pain is from my MS but we have not found the source of the other two yet.  It is certainly not the way I want to live.  

I hope everyone on DS has been doing well.  I have so much catching up to do so I am going to get started right now.

School has started back; this is week four with students.  I am only working part-time this year (at my doctor's request) and it is helping me have enough strength to make it through the day a little better.

My pain level hovers around moderate to severe and my morphine has been increased to 30 mg. 3 times per day.  That helps as well.

Today was a little better pain wise.  I feel like I fell all the way down the ladder and now I have to crawl back up one step at a time.  I know it can be done.  I just have to take one day at a time, get plenty of rest, and not expect too much of myself.

Momf33, your comments always make me feel better!  I know that someone cares.  It is not that I don't think my family cares, because I know they really do.  But, people here on DS can really understand the things I go through.

I will make it and I will have more good days.  One step up the ladder at a time.  I don't know what I will do whenever I finally reach the top of that ladder!!  LOL
