Not really, but so far we have gotten to go to the Museum of Science and Industry downtown Chicago and yesterday we went to a baseball game with great seats and a buffet courtesy of the MS Society. I think everyone should look into them, they are so helpful and they have these great outings so you can meet other families dealing with the disease. -Erin

Well for me not so much but a few of my lazy assed friends after seeing a top gun like myself get knocked down started to take life a bit more seriously. I have now a certain empathy for everyone that I did not have before. Before I did not feel so bad for the hardcore, dig in the garbage Alky and messed up people, now I really do.

We are definately "soul mates" Not that it is a good thing that we have it in the first place, but I believe it will make our marriage even stronger. We understand what the other is going through. Maybe a blessing in disguise?

Yea, I have to admit, I'm guilty of using MS as an excuse for not doing things from time to time. But I'm still not bad enough to get a handicap parking plate. I'm grateful for that.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
