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.

    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.

    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.

Healing

As I've been reading Conference Talks, I was touched by one by Elder Neil L. Anderson. He spoke of healing. Not in a physical sense, although that is also within the purview of the Lord, but about spiritual healing. When we've done something wrong, and everyone has, we should rightly feel guilt. Sometimes we feel shame. Some say that these feelings are not valid, they are bad and unproductive, and I agree in part. Those feelings are horrible, but they are not unproductive if they lead you to real repentance and a change for the better in your life. We are counseled to come unto Christ, so that He may heal us. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. There is no wrong that cannot, in the end and with proper steps taken, that cannot be wiped clean. I'm grateful for this promise--because the world needs peace and I need mercy. (That's another quote from one of the apostles). I'm so grateful for so many things--not the least of which is the opportunity to ...

Ahhhhhh

Ally and I just got back from the gym. I went every day last week and even though it's Spring break for the kids and me this week, I promised myself I wouldn't fall off the wagon. No, not that one. I've fallen off so many times I've got callouses and other assorted damages from hitting the ground. We'll see how this works out this time. One day at a time, right? I can't do more than I can do. Whoa, how profound is that? You're right. Not very. I'm fighting a cold right now---scratchy painful throat, ears that won't unplug and a heavy feeling in my chest that I fear does not bode well for the rest of the week. Not that we're taking a vacation. We'd love to of course, but what with times the way they are and the things we need to get done here, it simply wasn't an option. So what are we doing for our spectacular spring break? I'm glad you asked. We're cleaning! Yes, you heard right. And my kids (Ok, the younger ones at an...

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...
