I'm glad to hear you give your update even though I sincerely wish everything single thing in your life was cheery and rosy. That's great news about the Provigil being approved. What insurance do you have? Good for you for looking out for the squirrels!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

What's

going on in my life? hmmm.. not much..

Still battling the fatigue. But received a very welcomed letter

from the new health insurance plan. Seems they didn't have a

single solitary problem with approving the Provigil for the

fatigue and in fact, rather than it being a yearly "renewal" for

approval.. I've been approved from 10/1/2010 through 9/1/2099

(no that wasn't a typo.. letter does in fact say two thousand

ninety-nine!)..

Being ever vigilant (maybe to the point of obsession) in trying

to prevent another UTI

Had a short reprieve from the headaches (ocular migraines?) but

now their back in full force.. not severely painful, at least

not what I would expect to feel with a "migraine" (but then I do

have MS and the "lack of severe" pain might just be related to

nerve damage somewhere).. but they are here every day.. nagging

away..

Still trying to get into the holiday spirit.. without much

success I might add.. but I am trying.. I keep finding the hooks

from the ornaments on the floor under the tree, but no

ornaments.. I suspect those will be found somewhere.. hidden by

the Zook-ster.. he just loves the ornaments, he's always poking

them with his nose.. I guess to hear them tingle? And he laid

claim to one of them as his very own.. found it buried in

the chair where he sleeps/lives..

We hit Wal-Mart yesterday, and as I rounded one of the corners,

in front of me was some sort of "Star Wars" collectible/toy

thing.. and that reminded me just how much Christmas just isn't

Christmas any more.. Bud was a Stars Wars buff/collector/lover.

BUT the good part of Christmas this year is that Earl will be

with us for Christmas Eve dinner.. so I do have that much, and

am thankful for it as well.. (And he doesn't understand his

mommy worrying about him driving on snow covered roads to get to

work, and just WHY I need him to call me when he gets to work on

those mornings.) just looks at him and sez.. "Humor her"..

cause "When Momma ain't happy Ain't NOBODY happy"... LOL

Have not watched a single Christmas show.. and I know that is

killing , cause he loves them all.. No, I'm wrong.. I did

watch "The Santa Claus" with him when it was on last week.. And

we do have a tree (in fact two trees) this year.. and the porch

roof is lit with icicle lights.. So I'm getting there.. slowly

and hopefully surely..

I'm ready for the snow to leave.. Then the squirrel wouldn't be

doing home remodeling in the ceiling of my kitchen.. And I will

NOT allow to fix the opening where the fascia or whatever

it's called came off.. because if it was going to be fixed, it

should have been fixed BEFORE the squirrel started putting his

winter food stores up there.. So we'll have to deal with the

additions and remodeling noises until spring arrives.. THEN he

BETTER get up and get it closed off!.. and I'll hope that the

squirrel doesn't do too much damage while he's up there..

I would have been perfectly happy to have the white stuff come

down on the 24th.. and have a nice covering that night.. and

maybe throughout the day on the 25th.. but it needs to be all

gone by the 26th!..

And I guess that's just about it for me.. I know.. I'm a bit

behind at this point.. but trying very hard to get caught up

again!

Perhaps it's time again for updates

from everyone. What's going on in your lives, with your MS,

plans for the holidays, Christmas shows you watch each year....

How's your weather? Are you staying warm?

It's not

all, terribly horrible.. just frustrating as all get out.. I

would so love to be back at work, and running up and down those

stairs and all that kind of stuff.. I'm just taking longer than

usual to get through my denial and anger stage of this grief

process..

I DO have Earl here.. and that is definitely something to be

very happy and grateful for.. He eats like a horse most of the

time.. and loves to tell me how I forced him to eat such

horrible things when he was a kid (yeah.. that's why all his

jeans were in the "Husky" group, rather than the "slim")..

Thank you so much for the well wishes.. and I'm sure just as

soon as I can start getting out of the house more... SPRING...

things will get better.. and I DO need to get me a supply of

Vitamin D.. just wish that I could remember it when I'm at the

store.. LOL

And the insurance company that made my day... is Highmark Blue

Cross / Blue Shield.. they may not be happy about having to pay

the bill, but I'm also betting that they have people on their

teams that do realize that it's less expensive to pay for the

medication than it is to pay for something that might arise from

me not having the medication.. And if they check records of any

sort, they'll also know that I'm not one to fill the script just

because it's available to be filled... I'm only taking what I

absolutely have to take to get through the fatigue, and most of

the time I'm lucky enough that 30 pills will last me for 6

months..

Thanks again for the well wishes... and I'm sure it will get

better round here soon..

What I really want.. is a Christmas like you guys are having..

and "old fashioned Christmas" of sorts.. where thought is more

important than price.. Cause something someone thinks about is

sooooo much nicer than running an item through checkout and then

wrapping it..
