Dating with multiple sclerosis part 2
Did I ever make a post for part one? Not even sure. But I know I’ve had a lot of posts about dating and here’s another one. I’m going on a date today actually in a couple hours but this one I’m looking forward to. This is a gentleman from match.com. He actually reminds me of a good friend of mine that I met on match.com probably nine years ago already. We went on one date to a Paul McCartney…
Multiple Sclerosis letter to me
*** this exercise was from a book I read return to love by Marianne Williamson that I did previously when I read it I was recommended again to be done at my life coach so this part of the exercise is the letter that MS writes me in response to the letter I wrote yesterday. Dear Jamie, I’ve read your letter and I can hear the pain in your words. I don’t know why I chose you. I don’t even…
My letter to Multiple Sclerosis
Dear Multiple Sclerosis, It’s been 18+ years you’ve been in my life. Your like that negative friend I can’t break away from. I’ve written this letter to you before but my life coach has asked me to revisit it because she feels that maybe I wasn’t fully honest in that letter. You see I try to put up a brave face. When the diagnosis came people were devastated around me and I felt I needed to be strong. It wasn’t…
What is MS?
I remember 18+ years ago being at that neurologist office when my entire left side of my body wasn’t functioning. I couldn’t really walk, I had muscle atrophy, numbness, weakness and gait difficulty. The doctor asked if anyone else in my family had MS. He knew before the MRI was even done. I sat crying in a chair as my mom leaned in front of me and said “everything was going to be ok”. We got in the car to…
Happy Friday
JI had a nice unexpected guess yesterday in the form of my sister she came over cause she had some time to kill which was really nice to see her. However she told me she couldn’t read my blog lately because it’s been depressing her. I do have to admit it’s been a tough couple of weeks so this one’s for her will be more upbeat because I’m really doing a lot better than I was. There really is something…
Following your passion take your next step….
I don’t know when it happens we just wake up one day and we went from 21 to 40 something. I look at my kid who’s driving herself to school who’s going to college next year and I say to her college was my favorite years and I think of it like it just happened a couple years ago. I mean I put on the radio and they say NSync is classic easy listening, wasn’t that in the 90s was that…
What a difference a day makes….
OK in my case maybe it’s two days. Yesterday I decided it’s time to put the sadness behind me I put my braces in my sneakers, I put my foot in the sneakers, I tied up my sneakers and I walked out the door. I drove with the braces which was a little difficult but maybe it will take more time or maybe I can’t drive with the braces haven’t decided that one yet. I got to my destination and…
Wasn’t expecting that!!! Snap out of it!!!
Wow I was going fast into depression the medicine the braces the $130 for shoes I hated the bad phone call with mom. I just was so upset cried for hours straight. It just compounds on you sometimes but now add steroids into the mix and presto recipe for a bad situation. I can’t believe how bad I felt yesterday I really just wanted to give up something that has never been in my nature. I slept all day today…
