Day one hundred sixty-nine/365. You may hear people who have MS, or who live with them, refer to the A-B-C drugs.
My wife had been on Avonex, the "A drug," which involved a weekly injection deep into a muscle. Guessing that Avonex was lowering her white blood count, her neurologist switched her to the "C drug," Copaxone. That's a more shallow injection, done daily.
The notebook in the picture helps her to keep her shots organized. It includes a map of injection sites on her body; she needs to rotate them. Often, when a site is difficult for her to reach, or when she just doesn't have the gumption to give herself a shot, she'll ask me to handle the injection.
Pinhole camera

I set up the camera before I went to bed, and closed it at 7.45 AM when I woke up.
Shaving. Okay it seems like a pretty simple thing, but I usually go days at a time without shaving. I can’t really explain why I go so long or even why I hate it. I guess because it’s time consuming and I get nicks in my skin and razor burn. The Texas heat doesn’t help out because the sweat can irritate the skin.
But I have to say that I feel better when I am clean-shaven. I feel more professional at work, and I like the feel of my skin. I find that when I shave and then go swim laps, the chlorine in the water helps dry out the skin. Oh and electric razors tend to burn more than razors for some reason… I have unfortunately overly sensitive skin.
I’d say that these days I shave about 5 out of 7 days… glad this is in my daily routine!
