NEW BLOGGER ALERT - NEW BLOGGER ALERT
"When Life Gives You Lemons...."
Please Welcome Abby to the MS Blogger community.
Here's what she said on Thursday:
My neurologist appointment went well yesterday. I got to see the pretty MS lesions on my brain and spine. The good news is, no more prednisone--YAY!! The bad news--daily injections for the rest of my life--not so yay. But, if it helps prevent further attacks, I will do whatever it takes. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to be starting it, they are supposed to call me with more info later today.
Yesterday, after I dropped the kids off at school, I went to feed our guniea pig, whom we've had for almost five years, and he was dead. My son took it fairly well, my daughter had some heartbreak. So I decided to take them to get them each a hamster. Instead we came home with four gerbils. Damn cute little ones they are. They are all females, so no baby-making will be happening. Then last night, after we got back home, we had a little burial for poor little guniea pig.
In other news, I'm going back to work on Monday. My right hand and arm is still numb, which may or may not go away, so I'm a little nervous (dental hygienist here), but I think I'll be OK. I no longer have any weakness there, so I'm going to give it a whirl. If I think there is going to be a problem, or if I think my patients safety is going to be a concern, then I just won't do it and I'll find a new career. Doing what, I have no clue! Hopefully my chubby, moon pie face will have gone down by Monday so I don't have to go in looking so swollen.
That's all for now.
Thanks for sharing this new blogger. I enjoy seeing new bloggers. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Abby, I think you have a good attitude. Try, see, then adjust. I am realizing I made the mistake of leaving little roomfor adjustment and now I'm paying with self-torture. I am glad you are considering other plans just in case.
ReplyDeleteLisa, thanks for adding me here. I've had lots of new visitos, an am enjoying reading their blogs. There are lots of positive attitudes out there, which is so helpful right now as I try to adjust. Thanks again!!

The "When life gives you lemons" phrase caught my attention. My daughter has a shirt that says "When life gives you lemons, squirt them in peoples eyes". Always gives me a chuckle to think of it re-phrased that way.
