Going Home

[nicoly3467]

This pic was my last day in the hospital for a severe MS relapse I had last week and I was going home. I was there 6 days-5 of which I received IV steroid drip.

I’m having a hard time now with physical weakness physically and mentally too at times. It feels much different this time from my past severe ones. I used to bounce back a little quicker after steroids.

But Good News-I’ve become a bit stronger everyday and I can walk slowly now with my cane or walker, and I’m mostly using my scooter at home.

Hospital lined up a Home Care Plan for me with Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy all at home. A trio plan which I never had before just PT a few times from severe ones, in which I was able to drive to sessions, but I’m not strong enough to even think about driving for a while.

I’m SO grateful to receive this care. Home Nurse came Monday this week and checked my vitals, OT came yesterday and ST hoping tomorrow. PT starts next week-they’re booked this week.

Keep Fighting MSers! There’s always HOPE!

Nikki

That's great Nikki I went thru a seaver relapse myself back in 2014 spent 4 days in hospital then 2 months in nursing learning how to talk, walk & use my hands again as they warred with each other. Climbing out of a relapse is hard but well worth the aggravation & frustration to get my body back under my control! I'm praying for you!
