It is great to see just how much she trusts him, Emeraude began feeling weary of swinging last summer...much more impressive when she kept asking to sit on Lloyd so he could pump them so hard they were up side down ... [Read more]
I needed to stop by the hospital first for a dilaudid injection before the three of us went to play at the Lion’s beach to play (Lloyd would be heading out for NSSSAA in Geraldton tomorrow) and the kids went by the cafeteria for some sandwhiches in the meantime. After eating they headed [Read more]
Well, I think it’s time for another IV Solumedrol treatment. Sunday I went for my first dilaudid injection in weeks (since the last steroid treatment at the end of March) and I have returned again yesterday and then again today. I have a lot of bone and joint pain and am feeling fatigue, [Read more]
This week seems to be flying by faster than I can process. I promised the EDC photos that I have not even had a chance to look through yet *eesh*, Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dave (from the EDC) to work on my cover letter for Second Story Press and I had hoped to be much [Read more]
Hows your MS on this April Fools Day? – Multiple Sclerosis Blog .Really good read. The first paragraph really touched base with me: “How appropriate that our monthly blog post, “How’s Your MS Today?” falls on April Fool’s Day! To me, living with multiple sclerosis is much [Read more]
Well, my treatment was definitely successful…I’ve been scared too say that, scared to jinx it, scared that I might be wrong and have it fade after just a day or two but it would seem that I am free – for now. Last night I even went in for a shot of Dilaudid, partly worried [Read more]
Kids are at school and so will keep this short. Feeling very hopeful about the results of the IV Solumedrol (5day/1500mg/day) I received this week. My MS Symptoms (pain, fatigue, cognitive functions, etc) have defenitely been reduced. Will go for blood work today however to check ESR levels as my [Read more]
Last night… Thought we’d go in at a decent time tonight as I have messed up Lloyd & Emeraude’s evenings/bedtimes during this whole treatment. Lloyd has badminton and so Emeraude came with me to MGH and I hoped to get her some supper at the cafeteria between IM Toredol and the [Read more]
After 2 hours of arguing with Dr.Crawford about increasing my pain meds, the discussion turned to Tuesday’s (tomorrow) appointment and that I was hoping to suggest giving my IV Solumedrol treatments again (they failed in January but that was a full 3 months ago and my body might have lost [Read more]
I was relieved to see Bonnie was attending when I went in this evening. The IV that had been put in last night (anticubital by my request) looked awful, the butterfly sides not having been taped had gouged into my arm (read yesterdays…) and so I asked her if she could put in a new [Read more]
Th kids are great about understanding when they need to accompany me sometimes on my hospital visits. Last Friday Lloyd was AWESOME as he had come with his sister at lunch (we had picked her up from school so it was just faster for them if we went straight to the hospital before going home [Read more]
Appointment with Dr. Crawford today went very well although I did again forget a few important things I had hoped to speak with him about and it does not seem that we have the follow up appointment that we were supposed to start doing a week after any regular appointments for that reason. So that [Read more]
A very long day, faster paced than I like to live through but all in all it went well. I started the day at the hospital, getting pain meds after having taking oral meds to no avail around 6:30am and it looks like my day will most likely finish with a trip there as well [Read more]
Emeraude & I joined Lloyd for night skiing at the Kiwissa Ski Club tonight for the first time this year and WOW! it was beyond words… We had gone once last year but Emeraude had not enjoyed skiing in the dark as we had gone down the Bunny (our regular run) which was actually off [Read more]
day 3 steroid treatment did not go so well… the treatment was okay, the results PLtheRhhh (that’s a raspberry & thumbs down). my face really is as red as it appears on the photo :S (that’s the steroids). Emeraude was sweet enough to come keep me company as I received my [Read more]
