Hello from the land of writing!

So, why haven't I been blogging, you ask? Well, because I have been writing my book and I have 50,698 words and 152 pages! Yay! What is wonderful about my book is that it is really quite good. I put my writer's hat on and write and then I put on my editor's/English teacher's hat and edit. It is a totally wonderful arrangement. Though I cannot possibly find all of the errors, I am doing a pretty good job of finding many of the errors. So, for now, I write, I love, I live and I laugh. Heather is as wonderful as can be and loving first grade. Kevin is filled with smiles and life is good. My MS is heightened, but better whenever I have a few days off. So, I am looking for to Thanksgiving and family to boot. All for now, just wish me luck in my writing and be prepared to see my name on the shelves of Barnes & Noble someday!

Nothing like a relaxing weekend

Well, after relaxing with friends and family this weekend, I have come to the conclusion that my MS acts up whenever I am just too exhausted, temperature changes and whenever I am stressed. Down time helps me tremendously and Heather says that, "It helps her when she rests." So, I am going to try and take it easy and countdown the days to Thanksgiving and fun in Kentucky. We are going to Idaho for Christmas this year and we are going to have lots of fun with Kevin's family, which is our family now. So, for now, I write, I rest and teach. But most of all, I am a happy mom who has had a great weekend with Heather! We went to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3D! It was awesome! Between that and Chinese food ala bookstore with Aunt Kellee, Uncle Ron, Gabe and Aidin, who could ask for anything more. They were so much fun. So, as for the book. I am done with 127 pages and counting! So, off to bed for now, but all is well.

Hello one and all:). I have missed blogging:)

Hello one and all! I have been sick since October 14th and finally ended my flu-like symptoms on Monday. So, my days have been filled with phlem, sniffling and yuck. But now, I am better! On a serious note, my MS has acted up since I became sick. I have problems walking straight, my hands tingle and sometimes it is a problem holding onto things or even typing if I am tired. I can see fine, but my brain is foggy and my cognitive abilities are also foggy. I went to my regular doctor and have talked to my neurologist as well. I have problems talking in the evenings sometimes and spitting out my words and my energy has been totally zapped. So, yesterday, I started on steroids and Tuesday, I am having another MRI. So, we will see what comes next, but I am sure that I have a new lesion. I am in good spirits and will be just fine. My doctors are amazing and I love dealing with both women---Dr. Allgeyer and Dr. Venkatesh. Dr. Allgeyer was the doctor who helped me to get diagnosed with MS. SHE is the one who recognized my symptoms to be those of MS and recommended me for three MRIs. I have both her and my neurologist, Dr. Venkatesh, to thank because Dr. Allgeyer did her residency with my neurologist.
So, where does that leave me? For now, I am doing fine and looking forward to knowing what is wrong with me and trying to fix it as much as we can. They usually give me steroids through IV drip, not fun, but I can handle it. As mentioned, I am in good spirits, because I am surrounded by an amazing family and friends and will be just fine. Thank you all for reading and I will try to write more often.
