So much more at 54!

[lexsarset]

Wow! I can not believe it has been more than 1 and 1/2 yr that I have been here. I am truly living the best life I can despite PPMS! I have been on a mission to still do the things I love despite my limitations until I cannot do them anymore. I have been extremely busy with my sorority + I am a lay leader in my church so I have many sorority and church activities. My twins both graduated from college in December. Every month I had an activity. I have also been traveling a lot . I recently came back from a cruise and had an awesome time with friends! Two is better than one! I am grateful for my awesome support system. A wise man in our group said in life one have to adapt, improvise, and overcome! This is my motto for this year. With PT twice a week, chiropractor once a week and weekly infusions I am barely home and I love it this way. It makes the weeks go by and it feels like I have something to accomplish. I am now on Ocrevus which works out very well, but the real difference for my improvement is my Functional Medicine Doctor. It sucks that our insurances will not pay for them. However, she is tackling the root causes of my issues. The expense is worth it. My quality of life is so much better. I recently received my Bioness L300 device to assist with my foot drop. I am really trying to get used of the stimulation. It does help. I will be meeting with an Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in tendon transfers to regain the function lost in foot drop. Besides my Ocrevus infusions, I no longer take any other medications, just supplements suggested by my FMD. As you can see, I am on a scooter in the photo. I brought it with me on the cruise since I can no longer walk long distances! It helps me to get around at many events! Will not leave home without it! LOL! May God continue to bless all of you ! Best wishes and agape love!

Sincerely,

Sonya

Wow, it’s good to hear from you. You sure seem to have an active life. Keep going, it helps tremendously. As always Blessings to you and so pleased for your twins. what are Seth and Sarah doing now they have graduated? Has your eldest got married yet? My youngest who is 28, put an invite through my door the other day, it was an invite to his wedding. He is marrying his childhood sweetheart. They have been together 13 years and of course of all weekends they choose to get married I had arranged to meet Tutu and her husband at Holy Island here is the U.K. I cannot miss my youngest sons wedding so Tutu and I have had to make other arrangements. Such is life but I will never forget what you said in one of your posts, that God does not give us what we can handle, He helps us handle what we are given. Blessings as always to you, Jimeka 🤗

That's so awesome! Childhood sweethearts! My husband and I were together 5 years before we married. Seth has decided to follow in his Dad's footstep and is now working as an offshore man. Sarah will be going to law school in August. Enjoying having her home right now. My eldest, accepted a new job closer to home and is living his best life traveling all around the world. He went to Ireland for his last birthday. He is too career driven to even think about marriage. Seth will be the 1st to marry. LoL! Thank you for reminding me of that post. It is definitely the truth. Please post a photo of you at the wedding! Enjoy! Continued blessings Jimeka!

[lexsarset]

Thank you. I really have a great support system who were determined to show me that I can continue to enjoy my life with my limitations. They insist I travel with them and I am forever grateful! Today makes a year one of my friends died. I lost three friends within months last year who were 53 and 54. It was then , I decided to start living despite my circumstances; making the best of the life I have. Continued blessings to you and much love!

I had to write down the three words to live by. "adapt, improvise, and overcome". Very true words!
