Before I get to that, let me just say that this morning I had the most mind-numbing pain in my head I think I have ever had. There literally are no words to describe it. At the time this was going on I literally could do nothing but lay and meditate. After a couple of hours I figured out that doing something else might help so I got up and ate some breakfast and after awhile it seemed to tone down some. When I finally did lay back down to my surprise I managed to fall asleep pretty quickly, thank God, and slept pretty well.
When I awoke a few hours later it was time to go to Physical Therapy. A different therapist worked with me today. She was really pleasant to work with and I had a good workout. Afterwards, I came home and sat outside in my lawnchair for 10 minutes, soaking up some rays (with Vitamin D, courtesy of Mother Nature).
I only have a cupful of energy to use each day, so on PT days there is even less I can get done. But I did manage to write a couple of letters and get my notes organized for the MS clinic, my next Doctor visit, and a grocery list started.
I talked to my Aunt Joan in Phoenix the other night. She was very kind, as always, and genuinely concerned after finding out about my MS diagnosis. She invited me to come visit this winter. While I hate to impose on anyone, even family, I know she was sincere and it wouldn't be an imposition. I will keep this on my short list of places to getaway. I have several ideas, but for now I have to concentrate on my current treatment and get some things squared away on insurance and a determination on disability before I can even try to getaway. And a "wellness retreat" needs to happen even before a getaway.
Finally, since I have been sharing music recently, check out this: (full album version with long inro):
