I had actually planned to post this already last night. But then I wanted to also include a short health update and got completely side tracked and tried to explain the whole stuff which I still haven't really completely wrapped my mind around. That furthermore started another train of thought (not in writing but in my head) and lead to another ( Read more... )

I'm still feeling pretty crappy. The acute MS symptoms are still bothering me, especially as they don't lessen as much or as fast as I'd love them to. I'm suffering from worse "after effects" of the IV than ever before and am starting to be paranoid. Not literally paranoid, but still... ugh, I'd love to have a break. And to get a decent night of ( Read more... )

Health update: The acute MS symptoms have still only lessened a bit. I know the corticoisteorid IVs don't always help magically over night but it still sucks. So do the side effects of the IVs, even though I've already had those worse during previous IV cycles. But the more importand news: The results from yesterdays MRI results are not good. It ( Read more... )

The acute MS symtoms have lessened only slightly so far and I hope the remaining two corticosteroids IV will do the trick. I still am doing mostly ok with the IV and the side-effects, I get six to seven hours of sleep/rest each night, which isn't too bad. I'm afraid today might have been a bit too much activity for me though, because about an hour ( Read more... )

I had planned to write a "Leftovers" post for days now. But it can't be called leftovers when it's not the end of the day yet, can it?

A few days ago I started to feel an MS attack creeping up on me. I tried to ignore it at first. Silly me, who still thinks that it will pass on its own. It so rarely does, I should have learned that after more ( Read more... )

Starting from next week I'll be posting the Project365 in one batch on every Sunday after all. And I definitely have to give some more thought about what to actually take a picture of. Be more creative and pay more attention to my surroundings.

But besides today's Project365 photo I've got another photo which I wanted to share and forgot to do that ( Read more... )

I'm so so tired again. It's no wonder thanks to the lack of sleep which the sore shoulder caused in the last few days. When I saw a doc the day before Christmas Eve I probably should have been more alert and ask more questions and demand some kind of treatment. but I was so stunned with the diagnosis at first. This doc made it seem like some ( Read more... )

There was supposed to be another year 2010 review post. But that was before my shoulder pain got worse and made typing difficult. Or restricted typing for long strech of time to the hours when I was so full of pain meds, that my brain got kind of woozy, which made thinking (and remembering stuff from 2010) rather difficult. The pain got worse of ( Read more... )

Sane people would have stayed home last night. Crazy people decided to to watch a hockey game of my 2nd favourite team :-) The team lost, rightfully so, so it maybe wasn't really worth it. Usually I'm the designated driver, but I declined to drive in this weather and luckily Bro1 had to drive himself anyway and could take Bro2 and Bro3, while I ( Read more... )

Of course my vacation didn't start as relaxing as I had planned it. At least not in every regard. This week I'm on snow duty, which means I have to get up early and clear the sidewalk in front of the house. Of course I could just go to bed early so that I get enough sleep, but where is the fun in a vacation if you go to bed early ;-)? I went back ( Read more... )
