As if tax season wasn’t enough fun for me, I’m also in the middle of an MS relapse! So we are keeping our sense of humor about it. My legs, the left one in particular, has been so uncooperative that walking with a cane is even difficult. Walking had become such a frightful chore until my sister loaned me this gem:

It's a purse on wheels!

My neuro seems to think a round of steroids will help lower the swelling in my nerves and get me walking again, so I went in for my first infusion today. It’s 500 mg of Solumedrol, which is a very high dose. They tell me if I took that much orally it could kill me. This way is much safer (they assure me). It’s almost like being at the spa, the way they cater to me here. Free coffee, pleasant conversation. Forced relaxation isn’t so bad. And it’s basically free since I’ve already met my insurance deductible this year. I can take four more mornings like this, no problem!
