Why my silence?

I know I've been kind of silent on my blog lately.  One post a month, geez!  There are a couple reasons for this.  One being the difficulty I have typing.  My voice to text program sucks!  Two being my project:  writing a book.  It's been a long time coming.  I used to mention it in posts from time to time, but haven't in awhile.  The old adage "Don't talk about it, Be about it". has been my motto.   My good friend Bob has been working with me on this from the start.  We have found a good rhythm over the past couple of months.  To never have written a book, to now writing one has been an interesting  journey in itself.   I'll keep you posted when we are done writing, the publishing progress, and when it's ready for purchase.  I'm hoping for next summer, but we'll see.  I've learned in life to have a plan, but definitely be flexible.  Life is a fluid situation, go with the flow.

Rebif, Ampyra, & South Beach

Being diagnosed with MS for about two years now has been a freeing experience for me.  I've been able to focus on getting better and just how to handle the day to day.  No longer be concerned with the thought of what is this I'm battling.  Taking Rebif, an MS medication to help slow down or even stop the disease from progressing, for around  one year continuously.  I really feel like it's been working.  I haven't been fighting just to stay above water for once.  Rebif, I take 3 times a week, in a shot.  The one down side to it is how I feel the day after.  Ugh!  I usually feel like crap..  That's a small price to pay though.  I am taking a newly approved MS drug called Ampyra in conjunction with Rebif.  It's nicknamed "the walking drug".  I've taken it for three weeks now.  I feel str6onger when standing every night before bed.  Not to say I see walking in my future.  Though I do notice an enhancement in my vision, things at times seem to be in high-definition.  So, that's encouraging to see4.  Also, Emily and I have4 started on The South Beach Diet, it's been a good thing.  Losing weight while in a wheelchuair has been tough, but the SBD seems to be a good thing.  Props to Emily doing gretat on it!
