Bob has multiple sclerosis and has to use a scooter. He is not happy about this.
He has five children and an ex-wife.
Bob occasionally tries to convert me to Christianity, but not very hard.
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.
I came up with a contest amongst my brothers and sisters to see who can wear orange the entire month of March 2019 to bring awareness to Multiple Sclerosis.
OK.... this here is rather an ironic remark.... ;-)
Truth is, I nearly have no power enough anymore to push myself in my wheelchair.
This means: an electric one must follow a.s.a.p.

Day Three Hundred Forty-One/365. We've been dealing, first-hand, with multiple sclerosis since 1985. But, there is always something to learn!
We recommend this book. It's readable and authoritative . . .and, this one is in large print!

Palo, one of my very first contacts, one very beautiful lady, one extremely talented lady, one very strong lady. This one is for you, and for all MS sufferers, and the people going thru the journey with you, may there be a cure found.

I mentioned a few days ago that I'd been interviewed by the local press. Here it is in today's South Wales Evening Post. (More in comments)

Life has its “Ups” and life has its DOWNs”
Life has its “HIGHs” and life has its “LOWs”
Life has its “EXPECTED” and life has its “UNEXPECTED”
And this all seemed to happen to me all at once like a whirlwind.
October 15, 2015 I brought a beautiful baby girl, Amelia Princess-Angel Clarke into this world (this blessing was EXPECTED); it was one of those HIGHs before I even knew that an UNEXPECTED journey was about to begin.
In the following months, I started feeling changes in my body and I couldn’t pinpoint the problem. I kept working as well as being a mother of a toddler and a teenager. I ignored signs & symptoms, I took my memory loss and excused it by claiming that it was only “baby brain”. My energy was low but that was to be expected from any woman juggling a career & a family. Tired then turned into lethargic where I couldn’t get out of bed on some days and projects started to get backed up, and this wasn’t like me. I kept this all to myself, still thinking that this would pass.
It all started in March of 2016 when I began to feel strange sensations in my arm/leg that would not go away. So, I just popped into an Urgent Care thinking that there was a quick & simple fix to the problem. Tests & bloodwork; more bloodwork & more tests but no real answer; from Urgent Care to my primary doctor who immediately started a plan of care which also consisted of tests & bloodwork; from my primary doctor to Neurologist #1. Sitting in waiting rooms…waiting for good news while fearing bad news. As I met with Neurologist #1, I felt a coldness from him. Here my life was taking a drastic turn for the worst but I wasn’t feeling the empathy from him that I needed. He gave lots of information & used a multitude of big, technical, medical jargon. I couldn’t remember anything that he said once the appointment was done. X-rays…MRI’s..fighting the unknown until it happened…the “UNEXPECTED”. A diagnosis of MS. What? MS? Me? NO!
It feels really good to be home again.
The day after I got back my wife made me pancakes, bacon, and lots of coffee.
Been home over 2 months now and healing. It’s gonna take a while and I’m ok with that.
Gonna go one more time around.
As I’m fond of saying to my students:
“Thus endeth the lesson”

Aidan Larkin, MS Ireland, Professor Mary O’Sullivan, Dean, Faculty of Education and Health Science at University College Limerick, Anne Winslow, Chief Executive of MS Ireland, Professor Don Barry, University College Limerick, President Allen O’Connor Chairman, MS Ireland and Dr. Susan Coote, University College Limerick.
23rd May 2011. MS Ireland, the services, research and information society for people with multiple sclerosis, and The University of Limerick (UL), is delighted to announce the signing of a new memorandum of understanding to mark World MS Day Wednesday May 25th 2011. Together with MS Ireland, UL will conduct evidence based research into various aspects of MS, and increase understanding among students, health professionals and those with or affected by MS, a progressive neurological condition.
Currently collaborative research is taking place across a number of UL departments including, physiotherapy, sports science, electronic and computer engineering and under this new agreement further research is set to commence within the areas of clinical psychology, adapted physical activity and exercise and fitness. Product design faculty and students have been involved with MS Ireland to develop products based on the needs of those living with MS and computer engineers at UL have been involved in work on falls and activity monitors, while occupational therapy researchers and students have completed projects on fatigue management.
This photo was captured at the finish line of an MS Bike Tour when this little girl decided to run across the bike lane to give a high-five to the event's ambassador who lives with this disease everyday. Despite the tragedies happening all around us these days, there is still much goodness in the hearts of many people.

Well - yes, that's me - and it's the first photo of me on "golden wheels".....
Some of you know, but many of you don't: I am a bit handicapped caused by MS...
At home I refuse to use any helping tools like that but outside I need my little helper...
I can walk a few steps still - which differs: sometimes it's 5-10 meters only and sometimes even 100 - wowww!
Yet: it's always me - with or without my wheelchair - and I wouldn't wish to be reduced to those wheels.........
I'm the same as I always was.... only my weight increased - due to lack of sports, you'd bet....... ;-)
Yess - it's me - So... smile with me....
