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 live by my PDA. But, sometimes, I long for my old, paper day planner, with stickers, photos pasted in, and different colors of ink. There's something therapeutic about a real book!
Janice also has a PDA, but plans her MS treatments on paper. The makers of Copaxone supply her with a nifty day planner, complete with stickers.

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!

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”
