I know, one post here. Lame. Penny's thoughts, 10:03 PM But I promise you that I am going to fill this blog out so that I can link it to the friends and family I have not shared the MS journey with... many of which I have recently reconnected with on FaceBook.
It is really cumbersome to type out all the medical dramas I've suffered over the last 5 years, though I like to tell people what has happened to me through all of this because they want to know and I love them for caring enough to ask.
So, my goal (an early new year's resolution?) is to chronicle my MS journey here, starting at the beginning. I've got decent record of all that has happened to me in my paper MS journal, so I will type it out here so that all can see... to their utter horror and/or amazement. ;)
Right now, today in fact, I just finished a 3 day course of Solumedrol (IV steroids). I had 3 MRIs done on November 21st (brain, cervical spine, thoracic spine) and am amazed and pleased and so blessed to say that they came back TOTALLY CLEAN. This means none of the lesions that form when my immune system attacks my central nervous system were bad enough to show up on any of the scans. This is a miracle my friends. A true miracle.
I went ahead and did steroids to get my legs in better working order, and they have indeed improved. I am now walking normally, and my walker is in the closet for the moment. Hopefully... it'll be in there for a lot more than a moment. If not, that's the way it goes, but I am just focusing on being thankful for how I feel right now. And how I feel right now? Is absolutely fabulous.
Hallelujah!
In my last post, titled appropriately "Carpe Diem" I was having a good bout of health as well. It was following my second knee surgery of this year and I was walking great and feeling good. Then in July I had a very bad session of physical therapy (let's just call it "chiropractic torture" instead), and I was not the same after that... until today. I feel like I am finally back at that place of feeling good... so guess what?
Carpe Diem time, once again.
Much love to any of my friends and family who read this. I will get to posting about past traumas soon, just so that they are recorded somewhere. That is after all why I created this blog... MS-girl at blogspot dot com. *grin*
