Here is a short response to all of the people who have supported me and also who have wondered why I took my blog down this week. I will try my best to not say anything negative here, and you're always welcome to further details, just inbox or privately message and I'll be happy to answer the best I can, positively.
I saw my neurologist this past week. I would run through a stone wall for her, I admire her that much. She dismissed everyone else from the room and quietly told me that the ex must have somehow got into my blog and had phoned her (the neurologist) and left a message of complaint. I have a neurologist who is completely in my camp and is trying to help so much with this MS. I had tried to write that blog as honestly and tactfully as I could, but I removed it anyway because the blog was just my way of dealing with a marriage failure, and I will not tolerate any more the ex involving my family or my doctors... period.
I had to go to the neurologist because I am changing MS medication from one injection med to another kind. Two attempts in January resulted in two 911 calls, a totally terrible reaction. It turns out that I was on 5 times the dosage I should have been on. The Rebif company (the new med) twice this week sent a nurse especially for me only to straighten this mess out. She had to come from Mississauga both times... just to see me in London. I am enjoying the attention, but am disheartened at how serious the MS has become.
I decided to drive to the hospital this week, but did so on a terrible weather day... the parking lot may as well have been 25 miles from the hospital. I didn't make it even half way there in the 100 km winds, but I was rescued by a porter who very nicely took me in a wheelchair to my appointment and after the appointment all the way back to my car. Thank God for nice folks.
Speaking of nice folks... today our Divorce Care group met for a pancake breakfast social outing at McLauglin Family Pancake place out in the country just outside of London. A very rustic place only open for six weeks this time of the year as they have acres of trees that are tapped for sap, with quite the syrup operation. Wow. The place smells of the wood fire outside that they use to make the syrup. That smell reminds me so much of the Bruce Penninsula. My fav smell I think. A good old fashioned meal, all you can eat pancakes, a 30 pound (lol) jug of syrup at each table, a huge delicious sausage, fried taters, fruit salad, bean salad and bottomless coffee or tea, all for $11. This place is simple, but a gem.
The Divorce Care leader had to lend me a shoulder so I could negatiate from the Pancake place back to my car parked on the county road... a very nice man... all non paved lol. I dropped my cane at one point inside, and there was a rush of wee kids to pick it up for me... just as things should be all the time.
More to come on all the positive things that is my life now coming soon. Thanks for reading and sharing.
