I just checked on craigslist, and there was a maltese puppy listed, but when I went to the page, I was told it was false and spam, and not to trust the guy. I'm looking into freecycle. Thanks for the advice on that.Fortunately, the testing doesn't so far, involve any memory stuff...it might in the future, I'll let you know. Everyone gets rather pissed off with me about my memory issues (pardon my French!). I'm going to mention it to my neuro when I see him next week.love you,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, March 21, 2011 1:16:47 PMSubject: Kate....cognitive stuff......Re: MY UPDATE

You never bore me, Kate! Have you looked at craigslist or freecycle for a puppy? Cheap or free would be nice, huh? A lady on our freecycle just gave away three chihuahuas to good homes. The cognitive stuff is hard to deal with. I'm sorry you are having so many problems with it now. I had it way worse when I was on all the meds (neurontin especially). But I still have bouts of bad cognitive dysfunction without the med too. Is it affecting your testing a lot?hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The

Hi all,Well, hockey is finally winding down--yay! My 11 year old son, though, is going to play Spring hockey, but that is 'in house' and not travel. Hopefully it will be confined to one practice and one game a week--which I can do.My testing at the educational/vocational place is continuing. I think I have about 6 or 7 days left of it, then they evaluate everything and have a meeting to discuss what job or educational opportunities there are for me out there. Chances are that they are going to pay for me to have a computer class that will update my knowledge and skills on various programs, like Excel for one. I'm excited thinking about that--I want to learn more. MS is fairly stable. I do have balance issues though. I'll discuss with my

neuro next week that I've fallen about 6 times in the last few months. Fortunately, no broken bones. My cognitive/memory stuff is horrific. Short term memory, and somewhat, long-term also. Of course the stuff I suffer with like fatigue and depression, are invisible, so folks think everything's just dandy!Marriage stuff is status quo. We are seeing the marriage counselor, and things seem to be going along pretty well with that. I think we are communicating more, which is one area that needs to be improved upon.Kids (, almost 14, and , 11) are REALLY bugging me to get a puppy. They want a small breed, unlike Missy, who is a beagle/collie/shep mix and is about 70 or so pounds. They are thinking of a cock-a-poo or a cav-a-poo, both mixed, but I think purebred just the same. Anyway, I had called a place about a Maltese, and they wanted $1100!!! I told the kids, we can get a puppy, but not at that price! We've looked at the ASPCA, and they

just don't have puppies, just very large, bark-y type dogs. I told them after school today, we'll go down county to see the place that has the Maltese, and see if they have any mutts or less expensive dogs. I think Missy will be thrilled to have a buddy to play with! So, depending on what we find, and cost, we may be coming home with a puppy! I'm kinda excited about it. Hubby is NOT. He believes that once the novelty of walking it and feeding it pass, that the burden will be on the 2 of us to take care of those chores. I don't know for certain that will happen. I guess it's always a possibility.I hope this isn't too long, and I haven't bored any of you!love and blessings to all,Kate

It hurts to have people get pissed off over the memory and cognition, doesn't it? My son (who is otherwise wonderful) gets cranky when I can't remember something he says he told me. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
