Spring has sprung

Today I can hear birds chirping birds outside, Yesterday I heard an owl hooting. To be honest, I can hear cars travelling down the freeway a mile away, that kind of ruins the atmosphere, but “YOU” take the good with the not so good. That is life, our existence. Nothing is ever perfect tranquillity, so do not expect or demand your Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) to be any different.

Opioids are supposed to stop the pain. They really do not, take to many and hospital for “YOU” my friend. Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) is supposed to slow the progression o our illness. IT DOES, slow it but not cure it. Nothing does. There is no cure, accept that and your life can become one of managing your circumstance, not continually fighting a losing battle.

I willl never say that I am a warrior fighting my RRms. Perhaps more of a manager. Managing my desires against RRmss efforts to make my life a painful drudgery. I will ask my Neurologist (Neuro) for help when I need it and I will do as he suggests, that never stops me from learning about any problem I may have. Advocating for myself and for my condition at every opportunity. I do not know everything, nor do I pretend too. I have an idea of what I want and what I have to do to achieve it.

Not everything I want I can achieve. I really would like to go on that Titan colonizing mission. The problem is that nobody is calling for volunteers yet and I am a bit old. Oh yeah, and I am somewhat disabled but that is a technicality that I will ignore.

Today I will listen to chirping birds and traffic, and think how I can make this, m RRms life better, always better and easier.
