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”

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.

Day two hundred forty-three/365. Fund raising bracelets. You see them everywhere and for many causes. They started to blossom a few years ago, and at least in this area, they haven't stopped. Our daughter-in-law bought this one for $2.00, and gave it to Janice.
Do they do any good? How is the reader supposed to fight MS, breast cancer, domestic violence, or whatever the physical or social malady may be?
At the very least, these bracelets remind us of our stewardship of one another. These fundraising bracelets come in many colors, but to me, they say one thing: let's think in terms of community.
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....

Lara Ewen was happy to let go of her "jar of sharps", the two-inch needles she self-injected intramuscularly every week for years, & her last unused dose of Avonex, a manufactured interferon beta that ultimately failed to slow the onset of her MS.
A macro shot of the needle that injected Copaxone, an MS-fighting drug, into Janice's hip last night. Daily shots help to ward off the development of hardened areas in the brain, and therefore, exacerbations.
Here, a tiny drop of the clear medicine remains on the point of the needle. BTW, the blue injector is resting on a blanket.

I'd already taken my photo a day for Flickr but resisted uploading because I'd hoped that we'd get a visit at our local Twocann Tuesdays MS Support Group from Stuart Nixon who was recently awared an MBE for his work for the MS Society UK. To me he's the most inspirational person I know to those living with, or affected by MS (Multiple Sclersosis) Check out what he did to celebrate the MS Society's 60th birthday ...

His pride in the award is a tribute to his achievements and, as he is the first to acknowledge, reflects the hard work done by all those affected by MS .
Stuart has also been given a new role within the MS Society as Ambassador for the MS Society. This is a completely new role at the MS Society and one which will allow the Society to continue to benefit from Stuart's unique blend of passion, commitment and knowledge.
I took these photographs as my statement of hope. If I can be 36wks pregnant and still have access to medication that may help ameliorate my disease, then maybe someday I won't have this disease at all. I hope they motivate and inspire others with MS too.
Please leave a comment or two!

March has been proclaimed Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MRDD) Month and Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month by Carroll County Commissioners.
Commissioners Larry Garner, Doyle Hawk and Thomas Wheaton signed the proclamation declaring March 2009 as MRDD Month. The Carroll Hills Workshop and School is Carroll County’s program which serves infants, pre-schoolers, school age students and adults who have mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. The Carroll Hills program has adopted the theme “Just Like You” for its month-long celebration.
Ed Hale, a county resident stricken with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), presented a proclamation to commissioners declaring March as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. MS is a chronic often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system affecting young to middle-aged adults. Most people are diagnosed with MS between the ages of 20-50.
To the Editor:
I live in Carrollton and I am raising awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. No one has chosen to live with MS, it has chosen us and we do choose to fight it. I am asking you to join me in the fight against MS during MS Awareness Month and throughout the year to make sure the voices of everyone connected to MS are being heard.
On March 2, I took the initiative to attend the Carroll County Commissioners meeting and made them aware of this. In return, they have chosen to accept the proclamation I constructed and recognized Carroll County, being one of the 88 counties, that March is MS Awareness Month in the state of Ohio as signed into law by former Governor Robert Taft March 2, 2006.
Our bodies are in constant motion, moving information from the brain to the body. MS stops people from moving by attacking the myelin that protects normal nerve tissue. The damage keeps people from moving smoothly, both inside and out. Many have trouble imagining what their lives would be without the ability to move, but I know the effects of MS and I have MS.
If you have multiple sclerosis, if you know someone who has MS, or if you want to help the 18,000 Ohioans who battle the disease every day, I ask for your help in raising awareness. We fight MS because this is one battle we can and should win. We fight MS right now so that future generations won’t have to. If you know someone who has MS, call them on the phone or just stop in for a visit to see how they are doing and show your support. To borrow a famous company slogan from AT&T “Reach out and touch someone.” You may just make a difference in their life.
Information on MS and awareness events can be located at the National Multiple Sclerosis, Ohio Chapter, website at www.nationalmssociety.org/chapters/OH.
