Speak No Evil

When i started working at the bank, i was in a banking center.  I worked at many centers and they were all extremely busy.   Whenever things slowed down a bit, it was taboo for anyone to utter those words, “it’s kinda quiet in here” or “today’s been really slow”….ultimately if someone uttered those words, the “Nationsbank bus” would pull up and let loose hoards of customers…

I’ve been avoiding this for a while now – for fear that it might actually come true/be true…

I think my walking is getting worse.  

It’ll be 12 months on Tysabri on Friday; it’s working i s’pose – no additional scarring on my brain – altho, i haven’t had an MRI on my spine since the original one last year, so who knows what that might show when i go for 1 this year (i’m assuming that i’ll be sent to get 1).

Quite frankly, things are (feel) worse during the week than on the weekend – go figure!  I’m still trucking, but i still hate having MS too!

Not Sold

So…I’m still not sold on this cane.  I’m giving it a chance, but…

yesterday I had to pick up my car from the repair shop – how the fcuk do u see a parked car that is sitting in a practically empty parking lot and then reverse into it?????  that is just beyond my realm of imagination…but as usual i digress – so i went to get the car, took the cane and what did i do?  held it in my hand instead of actually using it!  HELLO!  I’m a loser, yes i know.

  • I get that it will help with my balance – i think.  What if i have it in my right hand and i start to sway to my left?  what then?
  • I’m not sure that it will help me when i’m stiff – can it really help me then?
  • what about when my knees decide to lock up – to me that is just more drama

I’m still being positive…I am not going to write it off.  I just have to get into the habit of picking it up and actually using it i s’pose and we’ll see what happens.

It’s a nice sleek one…it’s not fancy; didnt want to spend too much money on it until i know it’ll actually be worth it, but it’s cool enuf that i won’t mind walking around with it.
