Thankful Thursday

I am Thankful for:

I went to the Circus for the first time in my life last weekend - see pics -

A husband who loves me

My 2 puppy dogs (my kids)

A roof over my head

Fresh Air to Breath

Pretty Snow to watch fall (even if it is cold)

Day 2 of Steroids and feeling a little better already

Only 1/2 of my body is Numb and I can still have feeling on my Right Side

That I don't have to work right now and can heal

I finally got to visit Cabellas at Christmastime and see the animals

Jason Statham

TIVO

Afternoon Naps

Dreams (The good ones)

Valentines Day (Any reason to celebrate love)

Friends and Family

Nieces and Nephews

The feel of my husbands embrace, he gives the best hugs

It's going to be 50 here on Saturday

I'm mostly thankful for the peace I've felt in my life the past few days and I hope it continues. I thank God for that.

For those who don't know MS first hand - An Important Excerpt from Wikipedia on MS:

The person with MS can suffer almost any neurological symptom or sign, including changes in sensation (hypoesthesias and paraesthesias), muscle weakness, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving;^[15] difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia);^[15] problems in speech (dysarthria) or swallowing (dysphagia),^[16] visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis, or diplopia),^[17] fatigue, acute or chronic pain,^[18]^[19] and bladder and bowel difficulties.^[19]^[20] Cognitive impairment of varying degrees and emotional symptoms of depression or unstable mood are also common.^[21]^[22] The main clinical measure of disability progression and symptom severity is the Expanded Disability Status Scale or EDSS.^[23]

Multiple sclerosis relapses are often unpredictable, occurring without warning and without obvious inciting factors. Some attacks, however, are preceded by common triggers. Relapses occur more frequently during spring and summer.^[24] Infections such as the common cold, influenza, or gastroenteritis increase the risk of relapse.^[25]^[26] Stress may also trigger an attack.
