MS and Me
Hello Friends ~
Since I have been away for soooo long, I do have a few updates.
I have been feeling ** OFF ** for a little over a year.
I have been going through a TON of testing since June... blood work, MRIs and so on.
I was sent to the Cleveland Clinic to see a wonderful doctor there. She ran all of her tests as well.
The one thing that they all found was that I have *something* on my spine between my C3 & C4
My spinal tap showed positive for MS, but I have no lesions on my brain?
About 2mts ago my issues started to become worst, so I went back to my regular doctor ( who has been my doc for 17 years and I LOVE ) and he ordered another MRI
It showed some change to my neck, he sent me right away back to my doctor in Cleveland.
Again, she went through all of her testing and ANOTHER MRI
She said my MS is not A-Typical ~ lol ~ Nothing about ME is A-Typical
She is going to be starting me on IV treatments of 1000 mg of prednisone {YUCK} for 1 hour 3 days in a row and then pills for about 2 weeks.
She said it should make me feel a lot better and then we can find other meds to add to my treatment to try to help slow the progress.
I am pretty freaked out by the whole thing, but at last someone is giving me reasons as to what has been going on with me!
Lots of people have MS and live a normal life and I am one of those people!
I am too damn mean for something like this to get me down!!!
But, it has also made me realize not take one single day for granted and to enjoy everything that I see and do :)
So.... go hug your kids and tell someone you love them!
Soak in the day and be blessed with every minute in it!

Been Gone Too Long!!
Well Hello Everyone ~
I have been gone so long I have no idea who still posts or who still reads ~ lol
What I do know, is how much I have missed my blog.
I used to really enjoy writing here so much.
However my blog was used against me in a custody case, therefore I decided it was best not to blog anymore.
Since those days, I have been back in court several times over the custody of my grand daughter.
This past Feb. I was granted full custody of her ~ So at long last and Many years later ~ She is MY Little Girl :)
Sometimes it is very scary to think I am filling a Mommy shoes again. I am back in the search for child care ~ wow.... that is HARD
Her own mother is such a total Loser! She has had No Contact with her since Christmas Eve. Not a visit ~ Not even a phone call. What kind of a mother can so totally turn their back on their own child?
She is my son's little girl and he has battled addiction for years. He is a good father to her, but he just can't seem to stay clean :(
It breaks my heart!
She *Loves* her daddy So Very Much and is the happiest when he is around.
I had to make him move out of my home because he was stealing from me.
She just has so much to deal with for a little girl.
She has ADHD and learning disabilities. I have been meeting with her school to help her into an IEP ~ I don't want her to hate school because it is too hard for her.
Anyway ~ this is the road my life has been taking me down and why I have been quite for so very long.
I look forward to being able to share with my friends here once again, and boy do I have A Lot to say ~ lol
Have a Great day Friends!
OOOHHH ~ The Nasty FLU
OMG ~ I have not been really sick in YEARS!
Even with all the children and their runny noses and such.
But, boy it sure did hit me hard last Wednesday. Started the evening with a small fever and a little aches. By Thursday morning it had full hold on me.
I ran a fever of around 102 until late Saturday night. I kept thinking, oh, it is just a 24 hour bug....then, well it must just be a 48 hour bug.
Last night my son made me go to the ER to get checked out. The doctor couldn't believe I had waited so long to come in (well, when you have no insurance) But, I also thought I sure didn't want to try to go in on New Years Eve!!! Then there was New Years day with all of the people in there throwing up all over the place from TOO MUCH FUN on New Years Eve ~ YUCK ~ I rather be on my own sofa feeling like CRAP!
Well I guess the days of fever took its toll, and I guess my body was a bit dehydrated. They gave me three bags of fluids, tons of tests and some pain meds. And was told I had a really nasty virus.
I sure hope all of my wonderful friends had a better New Year than I did ~ lol
But, I plan to make up for it and kick some butt in 2011
I am Back........
Hello to everyone!
It has been such a long time since I have written anything.
I had retired, thinking I had found a love that was going to last a lifetime. He is such a wonderful man and I was blessed to have him in my life, even if it wasn't for a lifetime.
Things happen between people, even if you don't want them to.
But, always be thankful for the people who come in and touch your life in such a remarkable way!
So for the most part, my life is going really well :-)
My son got custody of his daughter after two and a half years in court battles! She is such a wonderful little girl and such a joy to be around.
I hope everyone had a great holiday season, Love and much happiness to everyone in the New Year <3
