I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV. I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection. I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22 with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19 to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta - cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well, 36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...
Linda (Braincheese) has come up with a lovely idea, one that I wish I had considered when I read the news that Sherry's daughter died of pneumonia yesterday. Though I know neither of them, my breath was taken away still, and we all know there are no words that are a balm to the wound of losing a child. So Sherry, I, your blogger friend, light this candle to Nicole's memory.
Webster, stop by my blog when you get the chance.
