On Monday, Ken and I had multiple misunderstandings via phone and email and I wondered if I was going to have to find a new Halloween costume (we're going to a party at Teacup's house as Sonny and Cher tomorrow night). Because he is a guy, he didn't necessarily go to the it's-our-first-fight-and-because-something-sucks-it-must-be-all-over-place where I visited momentarily. Needless to say, we made up...well, sort of...we tabled the misunderstanding and decided fighting didn't feel very nice. My counselor has suggested I cut him some slack and only revisit the subject with a time limit on the discussion. Ya, that'll be a piece of cake for me.
On Wednesday, a sexy neurology resident named Dr. Thomas made me lay on my side wearing a hospital johnny and no underpants....(I bet you're wondering where this is going, aren't you?) Then, after sticking some small needles with what was supposed to be numbing solution into my lower back (just above my one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish tattoo), he stuck a much thicker and longer needle into the space between two vertebrae to remove some of my spinal fluid. He actually had to perform the lumbar puncture twice since it didn't go well th

Ok. So, that was two days ago and I'm still in pain...when I walk, when I sit, and sometimes, like now,

I still wonder what the hell happened to me????? I mean, I thought I had pink eye for cryin' out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other day Christina told me she had a dream that I told her I dreamt that I had MS. In other words, it was all just a bad dream. The, Ken told me he had a dream that I got a shot to cure the M.S. Ahhhh. If only...
I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love and trying to focus on the present and the opportunity within this rancid pile of crap called MS. Is it wrong to think Elizabeth Gilbert had it easier suffering and growing in Italy, India, and Indonesia?
On the plus side, Sandra cleaned my house for the second time today and my refrigerator is SPOTLESS. Well worth the trade for the Buick and I still have 8 weeks to go! Please let me know if you need a housecleaner in the Greater Boston area--she's looking for other clients and she's fabulous. Then, Ruby, Zane, and I ended this crappy week having fun at the Academy Avenue Halloween Parade and Party tonight. Ruby was a purple witch and Zane was a black Power Ranger. I didn't want to blend in with all the normal parents, so I wore a glitter mask and a purple punk wig.
Have a nice weekend.
