Let me look at by busy schedule.....(lol)

I still have to finish planting....too much rain here in OH and too hot yesterday.

Granldson will be 1 this coming weekend, so dd from DC is coming home and Saturdayl,we are going to his party. Very excited, especially since dd and I have many of the same friends and I will get a change to visit with them. I just love that baby and he makes me smile everytime I see him.....

Sunday while they are cleaning up, DC dd and I are going to a movie and lunch. I love when the family is all here.

Have a god week everyone.

Hello Everyone,
Well last week was a doozy Just extremely emotional and my anxiety was through the roof.

This week I am hoping will be better. Today was the dentist appt for me...HATE IT. lol. Gotta do it though.

Thursday is my 1st cervical and spinal MRI...oh and recheck on my Brain mri. Hoping the Copaxone is working!

I am working very slowly on my garden an hour here and there. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some things planted.

Memorial weekend is a huge party all weekend long at our house and the lake ugh....hope I can handle it. I'm just gonna do what I can and not worry about it. My girls are going to Illinois with my parents for the weekend so I will get a little bit of a bittersweet break from the full time mommy job. The girls are super excited. I'll miss them bunches.

Otherwise, ms knocks at my door every minute of every day and I'm hopeful that the specialist will give me some meds to control some of my symptoms...mainly pain.

Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and take care all.

Do not overdo it with weekend plans. I m attending grandsons First birthday and entertaining dd from out of town. All I am making is spaghetti salad, so it is easy for me and then we are going out on friday night and on Sunday.....I plan on relaxing and chilling out.

Almost have my planting done and am exhausted right now so it is shower and break time.

grandaughters gymnastics show tonight.

Remission or whatever? I have been feeling great for some very strange reason. No symptoms at all.

Two Neurologists say I don't have any signs of MS. But I think it is too early to rejoice because I know how sneaky MS is and that the "cure" rate is nearly impossible.

I am being worked up by the VA now for MS. If they find a negative I have contacted a well known MS specialist for a "fourth opinion."

I hate to brag about feeling great when all of you are going through so much pain and discomfort. If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would appreciate it. If this is a remission I have never had one and don't know what to expect. Its just great to have a MS vacation.

Bless all of you.
