I've been diagnosed with MS and wanted to keep a blog about it and what it means to me.

Some days, I love my job, love the staff, love the kids...
Today was one of those days. EVERYTHING just seemed to go right. It was quite nice, I have to admit. Things just seemed to go well.
My middle schoolers did play a prank on me. They told me that their counselor, who is also my bff, her water broke (she's obviously pregnant and due in 3 weeks). This was plausible and made me rather excited. The thought of her giving birth in my program, was not appealing, but the excitement of a new baby, is wonderful.
As soon as I got to their school, the kids all yelled, "Happy Pranksgiving" Her water did not break and there was no labor. I was sad, but rather amused they could get me so easily.
The staff meeting tonight, was also wonderful. I feel that things are going well and we have a great rapport with each other. I saw a lot of value in each and every one of them. I'm happy.

RIP Twinkies
I saw this on facebook. I often chuckle at these things, but rarely share. This one though, I had to share. It's kinda funny.
My therapist and I were talking about the end of the world. I couldn't remember the exact date, but we were both kind of laughing at how ridiculous it was. She said the receptionist was joking about it, and she shhhhhhed her. She had clients who had real worries about this.
I didn't share with her, but I'm kind of the opposite. Or at least I was (still having good days!). I hoped it would happen. The end of the world would be a great alternative to living. I'm not dreading it. I'd welcome it.
I don't know if I still feel that way - guess a few more weeks to figure that out.

what exactly is a leison anyway?
Ok, so there's good news:
* the "thing" that happened at the beginning of this summer was definitly not a seizure.
* the thing in my tonsil is done being treated, so I can start the steriods.
Bad news:
* the mri showed lots of new leisons, and the ones that are the same are much bigger than they were.
* it's a relapse, and I've been on Avonex for 13 weeks, so it should be working fully by now and not be having this relapse. She is going to evaluate in a few weeks, but I may be changing drugs.
Looking for the funny things:
(I'm trying to stay focused on the positive and look at the funny side of it all. Steriods give me an awful taste in my mouth.....like pennies. I said to the nurse about half way through, "can I have some cranberry juice and crackers to get rid of this awful taste?"
She said, "You are one of the ones that can taste it?"
I said, "Yes, can't everyone?"
She said, "No, just some."
My response: "Well then, arn't I just lucky."
