HERE I AM AGAIN
A week ago while I was in my wonderful remission (with a little extra help from monthly sol-u-med IV's). I woke up and felt I could hop on my bike' ride up to the Eastside Rec and play a couple of sets of Tennis. Now today I'm down to walking only five or six steps,aching arms and legs and real pain in my upper back. Such is the sad nature of Multiple Sclerosis. Here today gone tomorrow. And this is one of the things that is most annoying about this disease! You can plan something and in a flash your plans are dissolved, or requiring major changes because of the fickleness of this disease.
A longtime friend of my son was stopping by to pick him up to go on an overnight hiking trip. He hadn't seen me for a while and the last time I was not very good. I was up walking and even climbed up some stairs . He was just thrilled for me and amazed. I had been mentioning earlier to my husband Bill that it might be nice to visit his parents our longtime friends. Now that I was in a remission this could be a wonderful time to visit them as we had not seen them for quite some time. I mentioned this to him and he was thrilled and knew his parents would be so happy.
The next day when they returned from their overnight camping I was in my Exacerbation. It looks like our plans are thwarted. Hopefully I'll come out of this exacerbation soon and may stay in a remission for a good long time! Then we can re-plan a trip again.
I'm being optimistic but it's the only way to go! Now if I stay in an exacerbation and keep getting worse that's going to be hard to take. But this IV treatment I'm taking monthly should help. And truthfully I know I could feel a lot worse. So I will have to remember to remember that. And as I don't like being unhappy, I choose to be positive . "I will feel better soon!"
I'm afraid that I will be putting a little bit on hold going around town documenting lack of curb cuts. But I will be catching up on many other things that require no physical output. Then I'll be all caught up and as soon as possible out and about exploring the curb cuts. ellie

Well, I don’t know if that’s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! :) Excellent post! 
Thanks for an idea, you sparked at thought from a concept I hadn't considerd yet. Now lets see if I can do something with it. 
Very good post. 
Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to create something worth my time to read. I am all over the net and I see so much useless junk that is just created for the sake of putting something new on their page. It takes devotion to create good stuff, thanks for caring. 
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :) 
Just wasting some time on Digg and I found your post . Not typically what I prefer to learn about, but it was absolutely worth my time. Thanks. 
Great post. 
It was very interesting to read this piece of writing! Thank you so much! 
Well, I don’t know if that’s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! :) Excellent post! 
@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out? 
Hey, I just hopped over to your site via StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would normally read, but I liked your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something worth reading.
