There are times when I really wish my MS would go away and leave me alone. Times when I wish that it was someone else's disease and not a thing that I had to face.
Like tonight.
I do not wish to have my shot because it is in my right thigh and that is painful for me because I happen to be fairly muscular~it hurts in muscle. Thinking about it makes me tense up and then my stupid muscles get tight, which ironically makes it hurt more.
And my feet hurt. Man I feel like such a darn whiner....But they do hurt. And I am sick of them hurting. And I am sick of thinking about them hurting.
I wish MS was like a really bad cold and I could get better.
But whatever you do, do not pity me damn it. I would hate that too.
Tell me to buck up.
Tell me it will be ok.
Sing me itsy bitsy spider.
But DO NOT pity the poor little sick woman.
Good grief.
Excuse me whilst I go get my shot. xxoo

One year ago today I began to eat differently. It is called the Ketogenic diet and the information is out there for free ...

Oh oh ... MS is being nasty ...
ReplyDeleteWell, here's our advice.
#1 break the needles!
#2 go to the bathroom mirror and turn your back on the MS.
#3 sit around and eat chocolate bon-bons. Douse that muscle!
#4 buy a MS dolly and beat the hell of of her! Well, at least let her run away :)
#5 Buy really fluffy slippers so it won't hurt if you start kicking furniture in frustration!
#6 Pick up a book on someone else's life to better appreciate yours!
#7 Tape record your voice saying, "I'm such a whiner, and I think this is ok, cuz God still loves me!"
#8 Cry
#9 Ask for a session on Dr. V's Couch.
&
#10 Call your Mommy :)
Thadda girl ... you done the night let's look at a new day break with a good old fashioned cup of coffee! You name the time and we'll be vicariously sitting with you as the horizon turns bright with reds and loverlyness!

All our best love,

You may have MS but I will never believe that MS has you. You a strong woman and have accomplished so much.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a great New Year!!!
Sweetie, I was going to sing you Itsy Bitsy Spider but then I read what Ayn wrote.
ReplyDeleteRead Ayn's 1-10 and know that we are right there with you. Then, like she said...call me!
Hey, I know what you could do to take your mind off the shot. Learn how to play Itsy Bitsy Spider on the flute. Then have Charley give you the shot while you play the flute. It might work...try it.
Christina, I'm so sorry to hear that your feet are also hurting. I wish I could take away your MS and all the pain that is associated with that awful disease. I hate it that you hurt and I hate it that you have to have shots.
Close your eyes, wrap your arms around yourself and feel me holding you. Know that I hold you tenderly in my heart every day. And that I pray for God to help man find a cure for MS, so that you won't have to suffer any more.
I love you heart and soul,
Mom
Christina,
ReplyDeleteThe itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the kitchen wall
Swoosh! went the fan
And made the spider fall
Off went the fan
No longer did it blow
So the itsy bitsy spider
Back up the wall did go
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the yellow pail
In came a mouse
And flicked her with his tail
Down fell the spider
The mouse ran out the door
Then the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the pail once more
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the rocking chair
Up jumped a cat
And knocked her in the air
Down plopped the cat
And when he was asleep
The itsy bitsy spider
Back up the chair did creep
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the maple tree
She slipped on some dew
And landed next to me
Out came the sun
And when the tree was dry
The itsy bitsy spider
Gave it one more try
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up without a stop
She spun a silky web
Right at the very top
She wove and she spun
And when her web was done
The itsy bitsy spider
Rested in the sun
Love & Prayers,
V
Second time round, Ayn sings duet with V. :)

Gosh, Christina, I was going to sing you a heavy metal song and play a mean air guitar along with it. Guess that kind of clashes with The Itsy Bitsy Spider choir group, huh? ::grin::
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping your MS is beaten into complete remission by the overwhelming glow of your personality and determination.
Happy 2006 to you and yours. ::warm hug::
You are all incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will go off the path and do my fave for you on the closing of the year...
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
....My mother would sing to me...
Peace My dear friend
Christina,
ReplyDeleteI could have written this. Just reading it helped me to vent for the week. For me, it's Wednesdays (my stomache!). Notice how the butt isn't so bad? I don't mind Monday and Tuesday shots in the ass; I guess we have less muscle there!? :) Now let's suck it up and move onto something else. No pity here.
You go girl,
Donna
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
ReplyDeleteYes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Perhaps Simon and Garfunkel didn't have PVD in mind when they wrote this, but it is oh, so appropriate
Hugs,
Bon & Mal
oh..... I think I remember the words to itsy bitsy spider...... the MS sucks big time. Damn the MS. I admire the living daylights out of you ya know. xoxoxoxo judi
ReplyDeleteIt's the way of chronic illness. You hate it. It sucks. You live with it. But you don't have to like it. ((C)))
