Hello to everyone,I have not been an active member in the group since Aug 2009 but my life has been a roller coaster. I have experienced a major flare up which included a 3 week stay in the hospital. While in the hospital friends from church entered my apartment and packed everything and moved it to a storage facility. Since November I have been unpacking and trying to put my life back together.I was a single Dad but my 17 y/o daughter had to go live with her Mom. This is the first time in 17 years we have not lived under the same roof. i have been Mom and Dad all of her life and the adjustment has been hard for both of us. Her Mom had gone to drastic lengths to buy her love. (new hybrid car, iPhone, etc.) I am trying not to be bitter.I am in the process of moving again. I will be sharing a house with a man from church. He is just starting the nightmare of divorce. I told him he will never experience anything like the damage of divorce but continue to share his love for his kids. Not to try to buy there love but show them with quality time together.Over the past several months I have been reading the group posts and have replied to several directly when it was something that I myself has experienced or questioned.I am doing good. I have had remove pride from my thoughts and begin using a walker. Since my hospital stay I have had many weeks of physical therapy.(Aquatic Therapy) I would encourage any and all to locate a facility in your area. It has made a major difference in my life(balance issues, muscle cramping and pain)I saw my PCP yesterday. My vitamin D levels are very low and I taken 25,000 I.U. a week for over a year. He has increased me to 50,000 I.U. a week and will re-check in 6 weeks.Life has slowed down considerably and I will be a more active member of the group.Huntsville Al

,I am so glad you're still here!A roller coaster is an understatement! What an adjustment you need to makewith your daughter no longer with you. How awful that her mom tried to 'buyher' with 'stuff'. Down the road all your daughter will really treasure and valuewill be your love for her, and the life that you gave her. It might not seem likethat right now, but believe me, she will turn around.So sorry about your flare, but it sounds that you had good medical care. 3 weeksis a very long time, that must have been hard on you to be there that long.Your church sounds like a second family. My church is like that for me. It feelsgood to be so cared for. I like the idea of your being with a person from church.I think you will be good room-mates for each other!Your PT sounds good. Aquatic therapy is very beneficial. The NMSS offersboth yoga classes and aqua therapy classes. I need to get back to them, asI too felt the benefits. A walker is a good idea, what with balance issues. I have one tucked up in my attic should I need it. My insurance paid for mine,and it is a very good one.Looking forward to 'seeing' you here more often.love and blessings,Kate I am still among the living.To: MSersLife > Hello to everyone,> > I have not been an active member in the group since Aug 2009 but > my life has been a roller coaster.

Hey , good to see you posting again, you have been missed. I know your daughter is "on to" her mom, and she still loves you to pieces. I am glad you will be living with someone, that way they can help you if your MS gives you problems. Please take care of yourself. ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- I am still among the living.

Hi ...I'm looking forward to you being a more active member because I always enjoy reading your posts. Being "among the living" is a good thing! It sounds like you are getting your life back on track. That's great. How's your weather there in Alabama?

Subject: I am still among

the living.

Hello to everyone,

I have not been an active member in the group since Aug 2009 but my life has

been a roller coaster. I have experienced a major flare up which included a 3

week stay in the hospital. While in the hospital friends from church entered my

apartment and packed everything and moved it to a storage facility. Since

November I have been unpacking and trying to put my life back together.

I was a single Dad but my 17 y/o daughter had to go live with her Mom. This is

the first time in 17 years we have not lived under the same roof. i have been

Mom and Dad all of her life and the adjustment has been hard for both of us.

Her Mom had gone to drastic lengths to buy her love. (new hybrid car, iPhone,

etc.) I am trying not to be bitter.

I am in the process of moving again. I will be sharing a house with a man from

church. He is just starting the nightmare of divorce. I told him he will never

experience anything like the damage of divorce but continue to share his love

for his kids. Not to try to buy there love but show them with quality time

together.

Over the past several months I have been reading the group posts and have

replied to several directly when it was something that I myself has experienced

or questioned.

I am doing good. I have had remove pride from my thoughts and begin using a

walker. Since my hospital stay I have had many weeks of physical

therapy.(Aquatic Therapy) I would encourage any and all to locate a facility in

your area. It has made a major difference in my life(balance issues, muscle

cramping and pain)

I saw my PCP yesterday. My vitamin D levels are very low and I taken 25,000

I.U. a week for over a year. He has increased me to 50,000 I.U. a week and will

re-check in 6 weeks.

Life has slowed down considerably and I will be a more active member of the

group.
