Blue Skies

There is this fog that has been hanging over me. I feel a bit listless, my energy levels are so far depleted I can actually take naps...and i can never take naps! I have been sick, the girls have been sick, Alex has been sick...colds for me, sinus infection, and now I'm fighting another cold? What has happened?

I still tingle. After reading and absorbing as much as I have time for, I have conceded and decided to be among those who choose drug therapy for their MS. Many studies show early treatment to be best. Who am I to say that the treatment I receive won't help someone else in the long run, maybe even me? Maybe it will help me recover from this exacerbation and feel normal once again. I'll be talking with my neurologist in the next week or so. It's such a strange thing to finally accept all this. It feels crazy for a girl who barely ever takes over the counter medication to even have to ponder the possibilty of daily or weekly injections. At this moment it seems like a long journey I must face in the not so distant future. A journey I face with some trepidation, some uncertainty, but with determination that this is a challenge I was meant to tackle in this life and it's all going to be ok. There are so many others out there doing this as well and more and more have to face this every day.

Spring is springing all around and I long to have the time and energy to pull my camera out at least one or two times a week again! In the meantime, I had the absolute awe-struck pleasure to view and photograh this beautiful rainbow about a week or so ago! My husband ran in to grab all of us girls and show us just as he got home from work! Never have I seen a rainbow so strong!
