Our Family’s New Baby

Keegan

My niece had this beautiful baby last week.  Needless to say we are thrilled over such a cutie.

It reminds me of when I had my babies.  The doctors would not give me an epidural since they were concerned it might effect the MS!  At least they gave me some pain meds though.

Since I had muscle weakness, I consider my 9 pound baby births as miraculous!

I would do it again, some pains are worth the glorious outcome.

Progressive MS Day

On March 28, 2018, the MS community will come together to observe the first-ever Progressive MS Day!  We want to demonstrate support, offer education, and call for more research to advance care, reduce disability for those living with the most debilitating forms of the disease.

We hope the MS community will join us in establishing Progressive MS Day as an annual event.

As Progressive MS Day grows each year, we also hope it will spur new research that advances care and can eventually lead to medicines that will reduce disability for this community.

I do not have progressive MS however MS can become progressive.

My Handicap Smart Cars

We now have two Smart cars.  Hubs drives the older one to work as I drive the newer fancier white one around town.

We hired B Mobile to switch the hand controls over to my newer car.

Hubs installed the rear carrier,
which I appreciate!

I love my Smart cars I have been driving since 2011!  They are much easier to drive than my previous handicap vans....

Picking Up My Painting Hobby

I thought I would try painting again since I haven't painted in 30 years.  My aunt Sue started dabbling in the hobby so I got the artistic bug.....we have fun attempting to paint like Youtube videos do.

I didn't think I could paint anymore because of my damaged by MS right hand.

It feels good to accomplish something you thought you couldn’t do anymore!
