Thursday, February 21, 2013, 11:21:02 PM- From A Support Group I Use ........ | ||||||

Please take the time to have a look at this pic. It describes my observations and beliefs about what stages as MS'ers we go through and also things we need when dealing with this condition. It starts with SUPPORT - being heard by others and supporting ourselves as best we can to come to terms with the uncertainty that we feel as MS'ers. This enables us to then begin the process of ACCEPTANCE - note the word 'begin'...this is an ongoing thing but at least getting to the point where we can say "I'm ok" is a massive achievement. In turn, this enables us to take ACTION of some kind, making healthily selfish choices to look after ourselves and to remove un-neccesarily draining elements from our life When we reach this point, the process of OWNERSHIP of the condition can begin...a period where we can begin to harness the (negative?) energy that the condition creates and use it to our advantage, to make better choices and enjoy what we CAN do rather than bemoan what we can't. The arrows in the middle come into play wherever we are in the process and usually when we suffer a setback of some kind, perhaps a relapse, a new symptom or limitation, a change in drugs or simply a wobbly time when the gravity of this condition bites us on the ass! Then, I believe, we need to look again for SUPPORT, begin to ACCEPT the changed condition once again and re-evaluate what ACTIONS we can take that will allow us to move towards OWNERSHIP once again.... Importantly, it's not something that happens only once, it is a cycle that I believe must be worked through throughout the course of the condition... we might not make it all the way through or we might make the journey many times over. I hope that this visual makes sense - it's based on my observations so far and I hope that in some small way, it might help you all to see that you're not alone, wherever you are now and that this really is a journey that we're all on together, always with hope. How long each stage takes to reach or lasts is individual and you might experience it entirely differently - for me, it helps to see it so I can centre myself and feel like I'm in some level of control of my MS journey. Bring on Life!! | ||||||

Photo's courtesy of local news station KOAA 5. KOAA 5 - New record snowfall for Colorado Springs! Yesterday's 7.3" of snow at the Colorado Springs airport was a new record! The old record of 5.6" had been unbroken since 1913. KOAA 5 - If you are headed west in the mountains be prepared for serious winter driving conditions. Most mountain passes have chain restrictions and are treacherous. Here is a CDOT picture from La Veta pass, which also has chain restrictions for commercial vehicles. Pretty Picture though. | ||||||

Not sure things are going to get easier now ...... I will share the latest email from my daughter regarding my Mum ........ I cried ....... (Sunday) Hi mum Hows u guys doing today ? Thanks for the txt . We were in a country pub called shore farm in southwoodham ferrers wen i got it. Glad your card finally arrived. Sorry it took so long x So nan in good spirits today. I did her hair and took a piccy which should b attatched to this mail. But i did it in secret while Aunt & Uncle(my sister & her partner) were busy. Lol Turns out nan has kidney stones and i think cancer growth in liver. Which is what was meant when nan had chest xray .lol im confused too. And not sure if nan is aware of everything going on with her body as Aunty wispered these to me. Nowt wrong with nans hearing lol. She is still on restricted fluids due to low sodium levels. Too much water dilutes what she needs to keep inside her. She has a cool walking frame with brakes and a commode is in the dining room. Home help comes between 6-8pm to get nan ready for bed. There has been a few occasions where they want to put her in bed at 6 but its too earlie for nan so Aunty sends them away again. District nurses go twice a wk to check her obs. And Aunty administers an anti dvt jab daily into nans tummy. So thats more news than we had before. Nan loved her flowers and they r still going strong Uncle (my brother) is collecting nans dog nxt wk end. But we knew dog was to be rehomed just like tango i suppose. I will send u piccy of the dog either attatched to this or seperatly. And aunts dog, i took 3 photos together nan n dogs in secret lol Thats all for now. My car going into garage on wed so no car for a few more days . Boo hoo Love u lots Xxx Yes I do have the photos and my Mum looks better than I expected - she has lost some weight which I did expect.
