My sons biological father wanly in our lives. My sweet son had abandonment issues because of this. After a failed marriage my son was desperately wanting his father to be a part of his life. I always encouraged my son to write him letters if he wanted or needed. I would mail them to his mothers house. I would always read just to make sure he wasn't being rude because he was angry. He never was. He would always beg him to call him for his birthday or Christmas instead of a present. It still breaks my heart to this day. Sadly he never called him. When he was 9 he met his father for the first time. After a few months he was served with child support papers and left the state. He did see or speak to his son for 7 years. I was having trouble with my son and his father wanted to be a "dad". That lasted a few days and my son came home from Michigan. He did have a wonderful time meeting his new family including a younger 1/2 sister. His father never spoke to him after he left that day 5 years ago. he will not even friend him on Facebook. He didn't even tell him when his grandmother passed away. Which my son found out 2 years later and was very upset.
My son has a relationship with a few aunts and 1 older 1/2 sister. This morning my sons auntie called him to tell him his father was diagnosed with cancer. Without a second thought to all the pain and abandonment he has my son immediately called his father. I am so proud of my son. He has such a loving, kind heart. Even though I do not think his father will ever deserve my sons love for everything he has done. I will keep that to myself and all of you. I did say a prayer for him. I think more for my son.

I hope you have a blessed day. Make the most of it! Don't forget to smile!

I have had my cardioversion. It was a scary thing to me from the first. I prayed and asked all my fellow MS'ers to pray for me as well. I wasn't worried about it. The night before as I lay on bed I started to get scared. I started to pray and I asked Jesus to please put me at peace with all my fears. I didn't sleep very well that night but I was never concerned or worried about dying during my procedure. I was at peace.
The next day I was never worried. I thought they were going to use paddles on me. No the stuck these two big super sticky stickers on me. One kinda in the center of my sternum and the other on my back in the same place. They said they do this because they want the current to bounce off the chest wall. Okay how many times can a person say that in their lives??? The Anasteologists called the medicine they put me out with "milk of amnesia". Right before he started putting it into my I'VE he tells me it will burn "a little bit". He started to give it to me and it burned a lot! I said to him "you lied it burns........then I was out. The next thing I know I am waking up a few minutes later and it was over. My doctor said it worked and they only had to do it one time. I meant to ask my nurse if I moved off the bed. I was glad I also did not loose control of my bladder. I was concerned about that. I have seen people on cops getting tazzed peed their pants. With my leaky bladder I was thankful I did not start leaking like a busted pipe!
I go to a Hemotoligst Tuesday. Maybe he will be able to come up with a plan to keep my anemia under control. I do not see how as long as I am still having my periods! Come on Mother Nature ......I have had my monthly gift dice I was frickin 9!!! Enough is enough I am going to be 45!!! Can't I return the gift for a store credit without the receipt??? Lol

I hope you have a great day!

Yesterday my doctor called and May 2nd is "ZAP" day! 8 days left! I am terrified I will die in the OR when they ZAP me with 200 volts/jolts of electricity! Trying to not worry and leave it GOD's hands, but I am terrified!

I am out of the hospital now. I received a transfusion. I am so greatful to whom ever donated my blood. It saved my life! Without it my hemoglobin would have kept getting lower and lower. It was dropping 1 each day before my transfusion. I am still gaining my strength but I wanted to reach out and express how greatful I was to receive my transfusion. I wish I could personally thank my donor. If you can donate blood you should. You never know when you may need it!
Thanks

As if i don't have enough medical issues going on i had to add another!!!
My son and I went to the Walmart on Coffee rd. I parked. in the handicapped space. I got out of my car. I stepped out and walked a few steps then stepped over the curb and started walking on the cement towards the store. I took few steps then I went slamming to the concrete. I fell onto my knees. They do not have there sidewalk even. It goes at a slope. Where I fell it was about 1 1/2 thick of a raised cement. We went to manager. They were nice. One knee had problems stop bleeding due to my blood thinners. My knees are messed up strength wise from my MS and now this they are really stiff. Tomorrow they will be worse. An adjuster is supposed to call me tomorrow. Thank heavens Michael was there to help pick me up. People were walking around us and not helping! I guess we were in there way! People are rude! I should have grabbed there legs so they fall!! I could have said "what's the hurry....why were you trying to rudely going around me"?
That would have be priceless!!

My mom, husband and I went to Walmart yesterday. My mom was in one of their wheelchair shopping carts. I was pushing the cart ( well more leaning over it like Quasimodo). My mom stopped at the end of an isle then started to exit out the isle. She was half way out the isle when put of nowhere this man pushing his cart hit her wheelchair cart. My mom said (not quietly) "does it make you feel good to hit an old lady in a wheel chair"? The man replied and obviously thought she was alone. "It must be a bitch to be you everyday"! My husband said "what the F#%K did you just say to her? It was so funny. I have never seen a grown man speed run with his shopping cart before. It was quite hilarious. Come to think of it if I didn't know my husband and he raised his voice to me.....I would be intimidated! That's my baby! It's just another example of how some people have no manners and do not care about anyone but themselves. It's sad does that guy not have a mother or grandmother?

I have been thinking about the times before I had MS. All the simple things I have lost. See if you agree....and you may laugh along the way! First when I say BMS I mean before MS.
The other day I was getting dressed and I almost pulled up my underwear without my pee pad. Ohh how I miss the days before I had all the diaper-like protection between my legs! As my bladder leaks and the frickin pad swells it starts to "dangle" lower and lower the heavier it gets. Change your pad/diaper quick!! Lol my fear is that one day I will leak too much while out shopping at Walmart and the pee pad will fill up and fall out! I would have to play "kick the can" with the bloated pee pad and kick it somewhere out of sight! Lol
I was going for a walk with my husband the other day. It wasn't a long walk it was just around our block. Halfway on the way back my legs especially my knees were getting very unstable and wobbly. I was holding onto my husbands hand... Ok I was holding on for dear life. My husband actually asked me are you playing around. I said no honey I am not acting. If my neighbors were out watching us they would have thought "oh how sweet that man is walking that drunk lady"! Lol
No joke sometimes when I walk out of a store and I am walking "MS drunk" I worry one day someone will call the police on me one day. If I ever was pulled over I would say "I have MS I can't walk that line straight so can we just jump to the breathalyzer so we both can be on our way"! So I miss the days when I didn't walk drunk......unless I was already drunk and trying to walk!! Lol

I miss the days when my medicine cabinet wasn't filled with bottles and bottles of medicine! It's been over 21 years since I haven't been dependent on prescription medications! I have pills I have to take at all hours of the day! I am one of those people who believe that it just might be possible that a Pharmaceutical company may have the cure for some diseases. Why would they want us cured??? There is no money in curing us.....there is only lots of money in keeping us all dependent of their medicines. So I miss the days when I could come and go without planning around my medicines....or laxative day...oh wait that's a whole story itself!!! Lol

Lesions!!!
My Neurologist told me I have a "big" (his word) lesion in the middle of my brain. I have been on Copaxone since my diagnose in 2005. With my heart condition it's the only choice I have as Copaxone is a synthetic interferon.
My Neurologist wants to put me on a different medication. I said "it was my understanding Copaxone was the only option due to my heart condition". He said he would talk to my Cardiologist.
It had been 5 years since I had an MRI. So I have no idea when that lesion developed. I have no MS attacks in 5 1/2 years. I talked with my husband and we agreed that switching from Copaxone would be a mistake. I am not have any relapses so why risk taking another medication that could put me at risk. I don't need to take any medication that could possibly do more damage to my body or my poor heart! Shoot my poor heart already is enlarged (cardiomyopathy) and the tachycardia that two strikes.....I am not looking for a third!!!!! LOL!
So I am staying with my good and faithful Copaxone. It's kept me free of all relapses for 5 1/2 years. You know that old saying........if if isn't broke ....don't fix it!
----Update on my zapping!!! -----
Had my blood work this week and for the second week my bloodworm came back still too high. So they increase meds again! My blood just doesn't want to thin out!!
