ok, I’ve been called out on being missing. Life is good. Busy as always.

Saw my neuro two weeks ago. He had me increase my baclofen to help with pain in my legs. The good news is it’s helping a ton!! The bad news is it’s increased my fatigue a ton too. So I’m getting back on amantadine tomorrow to try to fight that.

I was on amantadine for about 17 years and got off a year ago. I didn’t know it was a major appetite suppressant, so since getting off I’ve put on a lot of weight. Hopefully starting it again will help with that as well.

Other than that, he’s super impressed with my leg strength improvement and muscle tone.

Our son came home from his church mission in October so it’s been nice having him around. While he planned on going to school, things changed so he’s living at home while going to a trade school. My husband just reached ten years at his job! It has been a great place to work and the insurance is incredible!

I’m still not working but staying super busy helping friends in need. It keeps me hopping! Life is great despite the challenges thrown at me!

Well, I’m glad I called you out! This way we can get caught up on what is happening in your life! 😅 Really, I have missed hearing from you. I’m so glad that your son is home from his mission. That is a super exciting day. I remember the days when my sons arrived home at the airport and how crazy we all were. They had to have all their favorite foods and snacks. I’m sure you can relate. I tried baclofen a couple times, but it never worked out for me. I can’t remember why now, just remember that it was not a good fit. Please stay in touch with us, we are your family too! Many hugs 🤗 to you!Kelly
