One Year Ago
Holy wow it has been a year since I spent three days at the hospital and started this journey. I think it is all still sinking in.
Forty Nine Weeks Ago
There hasn’t been much new or exciting news to report on the medical front lately. The heat has been kicking my ass a bit these past couple of weeks but it just means I’ve got to take it slower.
Thirty To Thirty One Weeks Ago
Life keeps on rolling. These past two weeks Shannon and I worked a painting job and my shoulders are feeling that sore/strong combo from that work.
Twenty Five to Twenty Nine Weeks Ago
February happened quick and was packed full of experiences while the beginning of March had doctors appointments and test drives.
Twenty Two To Twenty Four Weeks Ago
Vacation was great! It was so nice to get some time with Shannon out of the house that wasn’t a work trip or errands.
Twenty One Weeks Ago
That time finally came. The time to start the medication for treating my MS.
Twenty Weeks Ago
Happy New Year’s Eve! These past days were full of holiday happenings around here and lots of good family time.

Thirteen Weeks Ago
Hey folks! I know it has been awhile since I have gotten a writing up but I have just been struggling lately.
Twelve Weeks Ago
It has been a busy week with lots of things packed into it: dog sitting, ritual, another appointment with a doctor, and playing music to name a few.

Happy Halloween! It seems like since the trip to Louisiana at the beginning of the month life has just been moving fast, I’m keeping up with most of it but there are definitely some fear of drowning moments.
Eight & Nine Weeks Ago
Eight and nine weeks ago there was a lot of unknown staring me in the face.
Seven Weeks Ago
Time is starting to fly by as I find myself more comfortable with this new normal.
Six Weeks Ago
The past week has been a lot to take in as it has been packed with a range of different experiences.
Five Weeks Ago
More ups and downs this week but I think I am starting to get the hang of moving with the waves instead of trying to fight the flow.
Three Weeks Ago
Three weeks ago I was feeling exhausted and weak, spending the day in a hospital bed.
