Good morning all. It's Saturday, July 12th, 7:41 A.M. I can't believe I'm up so early on a Saturday, but the past few weeks I've been getting up at like 5:30, so sleeping until 7:00 is sleeping in for me now. My mother says it's a sign of getting older; so with the wrinkles on the backs of my hands, the gray hair and the menopause (YAY!), I guess I'm beginning to show my age a bit. But you know what? I DON'T CARE!! I've never understood why some people don't like to tell their age, to me it's a privilege to have lived almost 42 years and I'm proud of every damn day. As for the gray hair, I've earned every one of them, and I don't intend to color them ever again. Maybe. I dunno. Things are going very well here, I am now totally moved out of the house, and have all my junk piled into this little apartment. I still have a lot to go through, and lots to throw away or get rid of, but I can take my time now. Anybody need any coffee cups? I used to have a coffee cup fetish, and I've got so many it ain't funny. I don't know why, I can't use but one at a time, or two if I have a guest. It's the same thing with pens. I have hundreds of pens, and all my doctors offices have learned to hide the drug rep pens when they know I'm coming. I count it as a failure if I leave a doctor's office with only one pen, a good trip is at least 3-4. It seems I'm not writing much about my MS these days, but that's because there's not much to tell. I haven't had any exacerbations since the numb feet in March or so. Maybe it will happen again soon, maybe it won't, but if it does, I feel much better equipped to handle it. I'm at a happy place in my life now, and can roll with the punches. I've tried not to say too many bad things about Greg here, but I'm gonna say a bit now.....he was a very negative person, always seeing the worst of a situation instead of looking for the good. He acted like I was practically at death's door when I'd go to the hospital for an IV treatment. I don't need that, and can't live like that. Every time I went for an IV, I almost had fun with it, cutting up with the nurses, making fun of myself and just trying to make the most of a bad situation. If you can't find a bit of humor in any situation, life will be miserable. And I ain't a miserable kinda person. Anyway, I guess that's enough for now, but thanks to all for listening. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!!

Hey Deb, Wow sounds like all is positive and your health is doing great....What else can you want? It sounds like you have everything under control and that is great. Pens you say, Wow I go through so many of them, as I do about 200 Auctions or more. Needless to say, I go through tons of them.
I am sorry to hear about Gregs negative outlook on life. He is going to become a very sad and depressed person. His actions when you had an IV are hard to accept. Me I am just like you and cut up with all the people when I go for my Chemo treatments. Got to make the best of it right? We are not miserable at all. How is Norman doing? You take care, keep smiling and relax in between there. Hugs and Love
