Days 5-9…sort of
So, I hung on well until needing to do day 9. Day 9 was this past Saturday. I wound up being too tired to do it, so I picked up day 9 today. I am having trouble with about 35% of it. My trouble has to do with needing to pick up my left leg and I can’t do that because my left arm does not work….so I am trying to pick up my left and right legs in some exercises with only my right arm. When my core gets stronger this may be more possible, but right now it is FRUSTRATING.
I have continued with my supplements and taking my medicine at regular times instead of when I remember.
I did get off the floor after exercising without assistance….so yay!
MS Awareness Week
Yes….it’s that time of year again. I find it hard to believe it has been a year since my last similar post. Little did I know then that I was on the verge of a relapse. Little did I know it would effect me and my family so much. I have recovered from the relapse with little evidence of it other than the stark reality that I really do have MS and it REALLY can disrupt our lives. I am so fortunate that I have made such a great recovery…..many are not as fortunate. I am so lucky that we have health insurance…many do not. I am so lucky that I have a husband who sands with me and even carries me when I need him to. I have my girls who love me and are so gentle with a sick mommy. I have parents, step-parents,sisters, grandparents, and more cousins than I can shake a stick at who support me. I have friends who have become family who support me. I am soooo lucky…but many are not.
For those who aren’t as lucky…I am going to walk in the MS Walk at Edwin Warner Park.
I have another reason for walking…..my two girls. I never want them to have to hear “you have MS.” I never want your kids to hear it. I would be quite satisfied if no person ever had to hear those words again.
Support my walk…help me beat the MonSter down!!!
