I have MS, I'm a Mom...but there's more to the story

I survived the holidays. C'mon, I'm not the only one who feels this way. But this year, the holidays were definitely tinged with bittersweet. Like when I sat in the congregation at church for the Christmas cantata. The last time the choir performed a cantata, I had been up there, bawling my eyes out...because it had been two days after we found out I had MS. I had a solo that day, and I was … [Read more...] about

We're OK. On Wednesday, central North Carolina received a terrible ice storm. It looks like we got 1/2-1 inch of ice before it ended yesterday afternoon. Anything over 1/4 inch can spell trouble for trees and power lines. Needless to say, Raleigh is a mess. I left work as soon as the sleet started on Wednesday, around 1:45 pm. The roads were crowded, but I got home in about 45 minutes (about … [Read more...] about

Flu shot - I got my flu shot yesterday. I was worried there would be some hassle, since one of the questions on the consent form is, "Do you have an active neurological disorder?" I doubt they get a whole lot of "Yes" answers to that one during these clinics at businesses. But when I explained to the nurse that I have MS and had talked to my neurologist, she just made a note on my consent form … [Read more...] about

Today is one of my rougher days, physically. When I woke up this morning, it was very hard to get out of bed because of the pain in my back. As I struggled to get to my feet, I thought, "This is what they mean in the booklet by 'transfer' issues." I did my AM Yoga for Beginners tape, hoping it would make me feel better. Oh, it was torture at times. It was a struggle just to lay down on the … [Read more...] about
