Earth Day

Hi folks, I'm asking bloggers to take a break for EarthDay this year. Just Do One Thing, as they say, to promote a positive influence on Mother Earth. Getting "Outside Yourself" for awhile always helps me to put aside my problems and feel grateful for the Positve Things in my life. As an example, I cut apart the plastic "loops" that hold a six-pack of cans together, before throwing it in the trash. This prevents critters from getting caught in the "loops" when this trash is deposited in the landfill.

SPAM

I'm starting to get SPAM in my comment section of my blog. Please excuse any GROSS or offending comments--I am trying to figure out how to stop it. I may have to close out my blog.

It's a New Year

I'm still getting Tysabri every month at the local hospital. Just had infusion #44. I am recovering from back surgery so not sure which symptoms are from the surgery & which are MS. I'm doing P.T. twice a week and it's a Good thing to do. I use a scooter to get around in the house, but I can also walk SLOWLY with a walker short distances. I have been retired on disability for a few years now. I wish the best for everyone. Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Holidays

I am still recovering from back surgery. I was told it would take a year for the FUSION of L4, L5 & S1 to be completely healed. I only missed ONE Tysabri infusion. I did NOT have an MS flare-up after my surgery. Just a little clonus in my feet in the mornings & handwriting problems - finger tremors if I try to hold anything tightly. But I can play Carols on my piano with no problems! I'm practicing how to walk Up Straight, with a walker. I have to try Not to Twist or Bend. But I feel the surgery will eliminate weakness in my legs, that I thought was from MS. "...Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night-!"

Summer to Beat all Summers

I would say this is the Best Summer for me in many years. I've been on Tysabri for 3 years & was getting nervous about it. Saw my Neuro, he tested me and said the Tysabri is working, so Yipee! Now I can get my back problem fixed with some fusion surgery in Oct. and I should be "good to go" as they say. Looking forward to being able stand straight up & walk (using a walker for balance, so what? I WIll BE ABLE TO WALK-!!) Remember, even tho you have a disease, all your problems are NOT from the disease.
