My Progress

Well, it has been a while since I bored you all with a long post, so
I will try not to do it now. Just thought I would dropa line to the
list (which I am faithfully reading) and keep you all informed of my
progress.

I started back at work last week, part time basis officially, but I
have been in there as much as I can handle, first day back I pushed
myself too hard, and paid for it the next day, but then had two good
days at the office. I really hope stress isn't a contributing factor
to this condition, if it is I may end up having a relapse, first day
back, the company was so glad to see me that they gave me a whole hour
to settle back in before I became swamped with work. They may be
sending me out on contract soon (hmmmm....not sure how I feel about
this yet) but so far have only been given minor crises to deal with.

My legs are developing their stamina, I am not normally exhausted when
I get home from work, but some days (like today) when I end up
standing most of the day, I am too tired when I get home to do a whole
lot.

Still no luck with the bladder control, it insists on trying to set a
new worlds record for the largest bladder, and as for the sexual
function well........I wish.

My doctors are both great, the neurologist is honest with me, and
admits when I am asking hima question he doesn't know the answer to,
and my GP is doing everything he can to learn about this disease. GP
asked me a couple of days ago what I would most like to undo about
this disease, my response was not what he expected, all I said was, I
wanted to get rid of this awful feeling in my leg, the one patch of my
leg where I still have the burning numb-ness.

My female-friend (not GF yet) is doing fine, and being very supportive
(I think this makes her a keeper), she has been turning her life
around the last little while to deal with her own issues, but still
finds time to help me deal with this.

Well, I must go...have to wake up in the morning (booo!!!!!)

Heres hoping we all find something that will help us deal with our
modified lives in a way we can be happy with. (My only comment about
the magnet issue)
