Mid South Marchers

This weekend I will lead the Mid South Marchers in the MS Walk. Only thing is I won't actually be walking but I have 8 people walking for me! :) As the Team Captain I need to organize everyone so we can get our team picture taken and hang at our tent etc. Out of our 10K goal, so far we raised 6700+ online! I have no idea what funds will be brought in tomorrow regarding cash and checks! We are currently #1 in the Nashville area! But we also have till May 31st to get all our monies in so I am hoping we meet our 10k goal.

In other news, my sister Mary is visiting and walking for me, she's raised 1200+ on her own so I need to give Kudos to her! I will meet about 500 of my 1K goal. But that's still good. :)

I'm starting to get used to what I call "spells"...I'll be walking along and all of a sudden my entire left side from my head down my neck down my arm to my hand gets painful, pins/needles and numb for about 10 minutes. It still freaks me out when it happens (1x a day) because I never know when it's coming. I assume it's MS because my doctors office is ignoring my calls and emails. I need to find a caring Neurologist or Nurse...Do they exist?

Tysabri Infusion #1 + the Stress of my sister visiting, MS walk and next week flying to my niece's baptism has left me full of anxiety and now I have a cold sore - which only happens when my immune system is low and I'm stressed to the rafters. I just want it to be Easter and I'm sitting at home bored again. lol

So, I am trying to stay positive even though I feel like I'm on the brink of a nervous breakdown these days with so much to do and so little time to do what I really need which is REST. This is not a rant, just an update per Libby's request! :)

I hope this finds you all well and ready for spring up North I hear nothing has even begun to bloom yet...we are enjoying the 70's down here and everything has been blooming for weeks. :)

Last weekend my husband, father in-law and 20 Year old Nephew put a Paver Patio in our backyard and reseeded the entire lawn...so hopefully in a few weeks we will have a great green backyard and can enjoy our fire pit on our new Patio!

I did have some excitement this past week when a Tornado came through and I "heard the train a coming" when they get close they really do whistle like a train. The dogs and I went into the closet on the lowest level of our house (we don't have a basement like is common up north) and sat in the dark praying. Luckily God heard my very loud prayers and we were spared. Not everyone in Nashville was so lucky. It's the one thing I dislike about living here (that and the 90-100 degree humid summers) other wise I would love it. I do live in the happiest state in the union they say! Read THIS

Have a great weekend!
