At the second Dartford MS Funday in 2003, the Red Wheelie scooter display team put on a routine based on St George and the Dragon. The dragon was pursued around the arena until caught and its tail removed.
Recently heard that the Red Wheelies have been revived in Canterbury to support the MS Therapy Centre there - watch Kent TV footage

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.
My 'Golden Wheel Runner' here will then be something for use within houses only.

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 twenty-seven/365. She's into making bracelets and necklaces. There are many things that her tremoring and often painful hands can no longer do because of multiple sclerosis and a few other complications. But, she's discovered a craft and a passion, working with colored glass beads. She's taken a couple of classes, tried her skills, and gone back for a little coaching. The training has paid off!
Now that she's outfitted the family with her more experimental work, and learned to make her jewlery stronger and more interesting, she's even taken some orders for neck and wrist wear. This one is for Amy, one of our Flickr buddies.
It's been rewarding to combine fun with an activity that serves as occupational therapy.
P.S. Tomorrow is the first of the month. If you're a member of the "First of the Month Gas Price" group, please remember to post a photo of gas prices in your neck of the woods!
The true story of a later than expected and still unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, its treatment, and the changes it caused in a teacher's career and life.

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.
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”
