Neurologist tomorrow

Tomorrow morning I see my neurologist to discuss my MS. Here's how I expect the conversation to go:

Neuro: Hello. I've looked at your MRI films and it's apparent that you do have a brain.

Me: My children have been seeking confirmation of that for years.They say I didn't have one. Now I have proof!Thank you!

Neuro: You're welcome.

Me: So, what else can you tell?

Neuro: Well, It's not normal.

Me: No kidding

Neuro: No, really. It's the most abby normal brain I've ever seen. You should be studied.

me: If it's a live-in study where I have to stay somewhere with all my meals given to me, I don't have to cook, clean or talk to a teenager for any length of time, I'm all yours.

Neuro: It costs a lot of money

Me: Sign me up.

Yeah, we know it won't happen, but a girl can dream, right?

Actually my dream is for him to say there's been some kind of mistake and those white areas in my brain aren't really MS, just a fuzzy picture.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

  1. Pamela, I have been curious as to what made you go to the doctor, did you have symptoms that were bothering you? My aunt was dianosed with MS many, many years ago and as soon as she found out, she withdrew from the world. I would loved to have talked to her, since it must be something I would be curious about as a member of the family. Since her, my mom, other aunt and grandma are all gone no body knows anything about it.

    I do wish you all the best and good luck tomorrow, maybe it was a fuzzy film.

  2. I initially went to the doctor because my eyes were giving me trouble. I ended up in the ER and after 2 ct scans they finally did an MRI and found the lesions.

    Or supposed lesions. I'm still hopeful that their diagnosis is wrong. Thanks for your good wishes!
    I'm so sorry for what your aunt must have gone through. I know that some people with a chronic illness suffer from depression and that can cause them to withdraw from the world.

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth

Peace Begins with You

In my readings this week, I came across a video of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. He gave a talk entitled, "Peace Within." Who doesn't want peace? Who doesn't crave peace within their soul? In their lives? In their hearts and in their homes? How often do we have complete peace? I'd say my answer would have to be that there isn't enough peace in my life, heart or home. It's not like I live in a warzone--I do not. I'm blessed to live in a nation where I have freedoms granted to me by the founding fathers and I do not risk being struck down by bombs or shot by snipers when I venture forth from my home. My neighborhood is relatively safe, so much so that I take solo walks. The peace I speak of is something different. It's the peace that can be with me no matter my circumstances. I crave that peace. Elder Wirthlin says that peace begins in the hearts of righteous individuals. How does it begin? With a relationship with our creator. In ferven

She's Something...

Most of you know that I've got four children. My eldest is seventeen. Oh heavens...how did that happen? Wasn't I just seventeen the other day? I'm sure I was.... Well, she's amazing. I know the majority of mothers have very high compliments to pay their children--and rightly so. However, my baby girl is astounding by anyone's standards. She is going to high school and college at the same time. In high school she's taking mostly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, which also count for college credits. She gets up at five a.m. every morning, goes to Seminary, then goes to school, she works four hours daily as an office manager at Winderemere Real Estate. She speaks Spanish, plays piano, guitar and flute. She goes to the gym daily and it shows. This was her yesterday. This is a picture I just took of her, after getting her braces put on. Now, having said that she is gifted and talented, I should ammend this post to tell you the following. She just got home
