I hope you have all had a good weekend so far. I want to do a shout-out to my friend Shirley who has been taken into hospital due to a reaction to her oral steroids. I hope the IV ones kick in soon chick and your relapse subsides so that you can get home. In the meantime, make sure when you get up to go to the loo your bum doesn't poke out of the hospital gown (kidding!). Thinking of you sweetie.
I have had a fizzy day today. There is an electrical storm going on in my body and the bugs crawling under my skin are back. If I was a betting woman I would say they never went anywhere but the God forsaken, mind-blowing head pain was somewhat of a distraction. I have also had a mad, crazy twitch in one of my eyes that was like a cross between a shooting pain and an electric shock. Thankfully it didn't last very long because I looked like a crazy person keep jumping every time it happened.
I have spent the day with my bum stuck to the sofa going between Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. Yes, my day has been THAT exciting, don't get jealous now. It was quite interesting this afternoon because I was "synchronised TV watching" old reruns of Friends with one of my MSer friends on Twitter. Our favourite lines and jokes were going back and forth and I did wonder if it is a little weird to watch TV (albeit online) with someone you never met before? Hey, the way I see it is MSer don't have to meet in real life to be real friends, something I have really learned a lot about lately with all of the love and support I have been shown when I was in pain.
I should probably confess that I had one too many last night too ("no, surely not" I hear you gasp). We went out for a lovely meal at our local Indian and I was "saving" myself for the food all day and didn't eat enough so the wine went right to my head (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Three glasses of wine later and well, you can imagine how fuzzy my head was this morning. It was a belated birthday dinner for Phil so we went armed with a birthday cake, sang happy birthday (loudly) and came away with a gift bag containing a lovely bottle of wine that they gave to Phil as a birthday present. Shame that he doesn't drink wine but guess what? I know somebody that does!!
Right now Phil is driving Megan back to her Mother's so I am sat here with a bar of chocolate, catching up on my Greys Anatomy and of course talking to you. Peace and quiet, lovely.
Whatever you are doing I hope you are feeling good and enjoy the rest of your weekend because .....

So enough about me, how are YOU?
Ohhh I'm famous I'm in one of your blogs. Lol thankyou Karen. I am just extremely bored and so uncomfortable, and waiting for the wham of the wonders of steroids ,well not litterally this time I hope as the oral steroids made my heart go wild. No permanent damage but frightening anyway. So day 2 and 1more then it should start to work. Thanks for making my day Karen xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you my friend, hope you feel better soon. xxxx
DeleteAhhh, that's what I love about your blog. You are an exciting woman and, it doesn't matter whether you are in excruitating pain or giggling like a five year old on the happy juice, MS is one heck of a wild ride. I love reading about your adentures.
ReplyDeleteHope your on the mend, Shirl the pearl.

Hi, found your blog over the weekend. Fab, nice to hear a real person talk about their experiences with MS and life. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago but as with so many people, looking back it was around much longer than I noticed. Nothing weird about synchronised tv watching - well, maybe there is but I do it too and with lots of people I've never met IRL. Get well soon Shirley and how is the tooth Karen? Suzi x
