friendships

I wasn't goin to blog about my day since not too much exciting happened but, nevertheless I know life w/ MS isn't always going to be exciting. When the days are just typical those I also consider victories cause life w/ MS isn't ever typical. So, my day was full. I've finally got the energy back that I'm used to having. Figured out how to deal w/ the pain and now trying to stay active so the fatique will not be an issue. Use it or loose it as the saying goes. I went to a conference where a Neuro felt that the more active the lifestyle the less challenges one will have w/ fatique. So, testing out that theory. Had a great visit w/ my Physiatrist (PT w/ a medical degree). She and I came up w/ a plan for dealing w/ the excruciating and debilitating pain that is the most recent symptom to tackle w. the MS. Since it was sunny out and I had energy I decided to pick up my daughter from school and offer to go for a walk w/ her. She wasn't up for the walk so we went to a visit a friend instead. That was nice. To catch up w/ my friend who I've missed and haven't been able to visit due to the fatique and pain. Then got to pick up my son from school and allowed him time to play in the playground which he doesn't get to do anymore because I usually am not well enough to be there. So, his mode of transportation is the school bus which leaves right after school. Needless to say I wore myself out before I knew it and wasn't able to make an info. meeting I had wanted to attend this evening. No worries. Can get all that info in the mail. Rested up and made dinner for the kids and spent some time listening to music and reading. So, then I get a second burst of energy and decide to go out for a late nite meal with a friend. Wow!!! Was I glad I did that. I had so much to say and just vent about and get off my chest that I feel lighter now after that visit. I think this new friend will be a positive influence and the male influence and perspective I've been hoping for. Totally platonic but, very supportive. So, I'm excited and looking forward to tomorrow.
