Paying for having fun.

I sure enjoyed my time hunting the last couple of days with my son and nephews but of course it came with a cost.

Today my fatigue has me kicked to the curb. In so darn tired and weak its an effort to make it to the bathroom. But if that's the cost of being normal so be it. God willing I will do it again.

Even my miracle drugs modafinil and amantadine can't get me up out of this recliner.

As always ill take it one day at a time,

Gods blessings to all. Donnie

Doubled51 Glad you enjoyed your day yesterday. The next day and sometimes more, after a lot of exertion of energy is always hard for me as well. Take it easy which it sounds like you are, and hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Don't give up just try to use moderation if you want to do those things do it slow and steady and lots of prayers, you'll do a good job.

I know what you mean. I have been feeling better and started to walk my dogs again. My legs are pooped. Trying to get some strength back from cancer. It’s tough with ms💩 . But still trying and hope it gets better. Like you said, you pay for it.👍🤗🙏

@Keanu they say no pain no gain. Well I must have gained a lot this weekend cause I've def had the pain.

The last 3 months of pt has really helped me strengthened my legs its just these balance issues that keeping knocking me down literally.

God bless and good night to all.

Doubled51 I am so happy that you were able to have some “normal” fun. But like we all know, now you pay the ms taxes! I used to hunt with my oldest son years ago. I love my guns and have quite a huge collection. Someday I will tell you about them. Take good care and rest. Love you Friend, Kelly

Doubled51 I am married to an avid hunter, so I under stand the need to get out there sometimes! Even though you are beat today, I bet you get a great big grin on your face as you sit there in your recliner. What great memories you have made for yourself and your son and nephews!

Doubled51 in reply tobavery207

bavery207 been a hunter all my life. MS has slowed me down quite a bit so I'm enjoying it while I can. I've seen more deer in my backyard than on my hunting lease so that shows I'm enjoying the time with my family.

As tired as I was I was smiling in my recliner in more ways than one. Lol.

What could you do differently next time to lessen the wrath of MS afterwards? And don't say staying home!

Doubled51 in reply tokdali

kdali when we go back my son's gonna clear the path so I can easily get my atv close to my stand. I stumbled and fell from the 100 yd walk thru leaves and vines. My Dr affirmed that the soft uneven ground was my problem.

So no not going is not an option just a stumbling block. Lol.

Taking this weekend off but God willing next weekend ill be back in a tree.

Hug that baby girl for me.
