    This is such a great blog, and your positive attitude is refreshing a welcome addition to the blogosphere, which can sometimes get people down. I agree that a pet can really help some people if they are up to the responsibility. Cheers. Look forward to more posts.

Today I was feeling sorry for myself but I got over it; there is too much turmoil in this country to be feeling sorry for myself. I’m grateful for the things I still have and can do, even though I’m bedridden I still have my arms, hands and fingers I can still use. Now, enough about my current situation; I’m going to tell you what happened to me while I was in the hospital for almost 3 months. Last New Year’s Eve I was admitted into the hospital with a UTI infection and I was treated with Intravenous brain blood barrier Antibiotics for a week. Then in February I ended up with another UTI infection and was treated for a whole week with the intravenous blood brain barrier antibiotics. Again in March, I became incoherent and had seizures and was once again admitted into the hospital for a septic infection for three weeks this time. Once again they treated me with a brain blood barrier antibiotic. All in all before all of this, I was constantly suffering with spasticity, muscle spasms, re

I recently got my hair shaved! My MS has now made it impossible to brush my hair. I tell you, since, I never realized how much effort it took out of me for such a simple task and now it's amazing how much energy I have now that I don't have to deal with my hair. I'm bedridden now and it sucks. I still try to stay in tune with today's modern chic way of life. I'm only in my forties so I should maintain how I look even though I can't use my legs anymore. You ladies hear me right? Being overweight doesn't help either so you know I got to work harder to look good these days! Don't get me wrong, I'm not ashamed living large! BBW are everywhere and look great working what their mother gave them. Also, I've noticed that just making yourself look "pretty" makes you feel like getting outside and sharing your beauty! That's when I started selling AVON products from the comfort of my home. I can't go to the people so I bring them to me thr

Most people who feel they're in a rut, usually do not look into asking for help. It's sad but true. I realized a few months ago that I was in a rut living each day in my home with no way to travel out and about to enjoy family gatherings, go shopping, visit friends or do other daily activities.  I began researching used handicap vans in online dealers websites and was shocked in how high the prices were just for 1999 handicap vans. I decided to look for vans sold by one owner sellers in craiglist. I finally found a 1998 Dodge Caravan handicap van. With it being sold at such a great price, I brought it up in a conversation with my family member not expecting nothing more than input or advise.  My family went and decided to all chip in to get this handicap van for me. They explained to me how much they wanted me happy to be able to travel beyond my home's perimeter. I couldn't believe it. I truly did not expect this but surely was grateful!  So, here I was in a rut but ju
