My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some humor, and some style.” Maya Angelou ( now she wa a fighter, a survivor, with style of course). Accent the “some humor”. Lots of humor.

Just realized it is Thursday! Now is that not a typical MS brain?? Yep, gotta laugh at ourselves. Don’t know date, day of week, wrote 2007 on a check the other day (now why not 2017, or 1946, why the random 2007?) I think in my poem I wrote MS stands for MIghty Strange. Isn’t this the strangest disease you ever did know about? (Whoops. Ended a sentence with a ........yep, forgot the name of those words, not nouns or verbs, but a ??? Isn’t that the most embarrassing symptom: just can’t find the right filing cabinet where the word is stored in my brain!) Anybody ever been given the RBANS brain test to see progression of dementia or Alzheimer’s? What a dozer! Over an hour, talk about brain fatigue. But, it proved I don’t have dementia, just a sadly lowered cognitive function than what I had years ago. And scored lowest on short term memory recall, no surprise there! Neurologist said I had the strangest MS brain he ever did see. Well, off to bed I go to play my brain games

I did a memory test when finally getting a straight answer for having MS. Average score was between 16 and 85 for long and short term and working memory on a scale of 0 to 100. Long term I got a 97. Short term and working memory I got a whopping 3. Opposite ends of the scale! I always have to double check my watch for the day and the date.
