ELLIE'S BLOG on Living Well with MS

      In my blog on hope I mentioned that I was in a remission.  And now three months later I am still in a remission. In fact this is the longest and the most extensive  recovery I have ever had in a remission. My last remission that would have come close was seven years ago.

Whenever a remission happens there is a real nervousness that I always feel. That if I love the new me too much when I lose it which I always do it'll hurt too much when I go back downhill again.

So to prevent this I've tried to live for each moment in each day appreciating what I have now. And everyday do something that I can now do. And luxuriate in that wonderful sensation of feeling so well.

So I have had a lot to share that I haven't because I didn't want to Jinx it!! And also of not wanting to put too much importance into it that it will hurt more if and when most likely I lose it again and go into a relapse.

But here I am visiting the Coho's falls with my husband. And I am using my wheeled walker.  You'll notice it also has a seat.  This is the first time that I have used this outside my home in about five years. I have been using it at home gradually increasing the amount of time as I am capable of walking.  I just keep getting better.  I'm having difficulty just believing it.  Well I'm off for home.  Maybe I'll do some raking tomorrow.

More on my remission later.
