Tiller with his Walk MS bandana!

Did I jinx it?

About a month ago I was so excited.....relieved that Hubby was finally feeling better. He made it a few weeks feeling great and the exhaustion has started again :( It doesn't seem to be quite as severe and as of right now is proving to be the major symptom. Is this another attack? Is this just his body being resistant because he's been working so much? I wish I knew

The one thing that's continuing to prove everyday as a sign of him having MS is his memory. I notice that he's adjusting to it with ways of coping and I encourage it. I have adjusted as well in ways to help him and I have learned quickly that where most wives think their husbands aren't listening, mine really does listen, he just doesn't remember. If it things he recognizes needing to remember, he has learned he needs to add it to a list in his phone right away. If it's something I have told him, I double and triple check to ensure he has it in his phone or he remembers. Because of the coping skills it's actually proving to pay off. He's making the adjustments he needs to without even necessarily realizing he's doing it. My biggest adjustment has been learning to quit saying "don't you remember?" If there is one thing that frustrates him it's that single question. 

I am trying to learn to take things in stride. I need to let some things roll and other things need to be watched closely. I am pretty sure I make Hubby crazy sometimes but he's learned that it's all in love and just me taking care of him. 

The neurologist requested another MRI. They explained it by letting us know that when he is in an attack, the "spots" haven't scarred yet and cannot be seen on an MRI. They did one during his last attack and now want another one to see what new spots are there and how many. Our lovely insurance company has denied it because they claim the one he just had should be enough to read. Now I get the pleasure of trying to be understanding of their stance and trying to overturn it. We will see how that goes........

I will keep everyone posted and I hope to see 90% of you for Walk MS on April 27th!
