Good Monday Morning All! We all have had a time when someone uses an abbreviation during a post that maybe we don't all know what it means. So here goes, I'll post a few here and ask you to define them. If you don't know them, this is at least the way to learn them. Please go ahead and post your answers, leave a few answers for others. ALSO, Please feel free to post questions and abbreviations that maybe you'd like an answer to define and abbreviation, @CalfeeChick, Jesmcd2 and Fancy1959 will try to answer them for you.. Let's challenge our gray matter! We'll start with a few easier ones and move along to more challenging ones. Most of the answers have been found at:
CalfeeChick thanks. I try to take life with a "grain of salt". When I was first dx, I realized that life was about to change in ways I would not yet understand. So I gave myself the right to never have to "come to terms" with this MS stuff and the right to be angry. I shifted my focus from what was happening to my body and decided to focus on all the areas and opportunities life that MS has not yet affected. Things I used to do that I no longer couldn't I would find new ways to do them. I reinvented me. I don't have anyone to take care of or help me. If I can;t do it, it won't get done.
Being fiercely independent, I had to learn how to ask for help. It has now become easy to ask and not feel guilty for it. I don't blame the MS, I simple tell the person I need their help because I am unable to do it myself. They either help or not. I don't worry about their excuse as to why they can't help. I just keep asking till I do find someone who could.
Short and long of it. I always try to keep a cents of humor. Do I suffer? no. But my body has its days. My body has "good" and "bad" days. I roll with the punches. Do I cry, yes all the time, do I feel pain? yes. I do not deny myself the experience or feelings. I just don't focus on them.
My body has many major dx that scare the crap out of me. I just keep moving forward. I take over 15 meds daily just to function "normally" not counting the Rituxan therapy.
The only thing I have in life is choice. I have no control over my body. I choose to look at the glass as being "half full" not "half empty". I cry when I want, I lock the door close the windows and watch movies all day when depressed. I feel everything, I just do respond to everything.
Sorry for the long sermon, I'm passionate about living the best life possible. Thank you for your support. ~terry
It sure does. But nothing goes very fast when you’re stuck in bed. TodayS been a major fatigue type day so I’ve been in my recliner all day and seems like it’s been 28 hours long.😒😒
