Have not been writing in my journal for awhile. I guess I did not want to face what has been going on. I think the chemo did help some but not enough. I am in the chair for life. I have to face that I am not going to get any better. Bruce is happy that I am allot better then I was last yr. I am still waiting for things to screw up, it seems like they always do. I have to admit the MS is a bit better but I traded movement for worsen of health problems.
The fluid retention is very bad. They had start to put wraps on my legs to squish out the fluid. Once enough of it gets out I will be fitted for stockings to keep it out. I was told my veins were damaged by the chemo. The high dose steroids are not helping like they did so we stopped them. I do not know how I feel about all of this.

There always seems to be a trade off for improvement, doesn\'t there? Nothing is easy. I hope you can get your new sockies soon and be more comfy. Thanks for the update. I worry about you.
