My Sense of humor

                  So okay, I had a rough and I mean rough summer health wise. I know blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. Well I stated this past week to friends and family that I could honestly say I’ve been feeling the best I have been in two years. Well I’ll learn never to say that again! I have come to the conclusion that God and Karma are in cahoots against me. They must know that my family thinks it’s hysterical to see me mad and have now joined in on this little game. No sooner did I say I was feeling good, the next day I was walking with the piump cane in pain from the groin and going numb the more I walked around. Really!!!???!!!  So it lasted a few days and I’m over it.

                Not only have I had a hellish year health wise, I have also had a whole bunch of other “life” issues to deal with. Some of which I am still dealing; one in particular being financial issues. I decided to cut down where I could and surprisingly leasing a new car was one way. My monthly payments went down, my insurance went down, and the new car is a lot better on gas. So I got my new toy Thursday. Is everyone ready for the punch line? Oh yea, this must be a joke cause I have no other explanation. I had a car accident today, in my 3 day old car! Insert laughter here. Everyone in the car is alright thank God, and the kids weren’t in the car at the time either.

                This is why I don’t like saying things are doing well or I am feeling good. God and Karma have a sick sense of humor. Now I sit here with my neck and back hurting, a head ache and knee pain. WTF guys?!? What’s the deal? I am not very amused by this and now my poor car has to suffer. There was one casualty, my little Leo. He was knock right off the dashboard where he has sat in every car I have owned. I picked him up and quickly apologized. Yes people I apologized to a stuffed leopard, deal with it.

Many different Symptoms

        Yearly MRI’s stable no progression, MS meds finally covered, blood pressure is going down. Anthony started pre-k and likes it. So it sounds like things are starting to look up and move forward.  WRONG! For the three steps I just took forward I am in the middle of ten steps backward. So frustrating. While I am thrilled my MRI’s came back great, I am still not feeling 100%. I am walking without my cane and dare I say even a little speed to my stride, but my right leg has been giving out on me AGAIN. Oh well. My hands have a permanent neuropathy in them and it’s just an odd feeling all the time. I am starting with the fatigue as well. Compared to the beginning of the summer though my symptoms have greatly improved.

        I’m sure you are all wondering why I am still having issues…MAJOR STRESS.  It is all true, heat and stress can worsen symptoms. A lot of these problems are mainly caused by inflammation and I discovered a new issue worsened by it. A lovely friend I call my lap band. Apparently even though there is no band slippage or perforation I have a weakened esophagus due to my MS and it makes it difficult to eat.  Let’s add a flare up and it feels like there is a knife stabbing my chest. So after seeing some doctors the decision has been made that it is coming out. Now to get the insurance to approve it. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed. I’m not gonna lie kiddies, I love broccoli and miss not being able to eat it. I know this isn’t one of my best stories but I have major writers block lately and had the need to write. I am attributing it to all the meds I’m taking. I also attribute the non emotions I feel lately to the meds as well as other things. I apologize for the lack of enthusiasm in this installment but as my cousin always says “DEAL WIT IT”!
