Multiple Sclerosis & Me by S.S-O
A Trini living in Atlanta who thinks the cold weather is for the dogs!
True story: I was in Form 3 (13/14 years old) and my mother FINALLY said "ok, u can take maxi - (public transport; there are no school buses in Trinidad; we either took public transportation OR ur parents took u back and forth - so she finally let me take public transport) home after school." I was so excited; i get to walk down Frederick St, lime in Colsort Mall etc (close ur eyes Mummy) and take taxi! WOOHOO!! lime now start!! Well halfway down the street, i fell!!! Yup - my bookbag went 1 way, my binder a next, I was MORTIFIED!!!! how? How d hell did that happen??? To this day,OB(my father) gives me a hard time about it - in fact the other day he told me that he was somewhere and somebody fell up ahead. He said he looked to see if it was me!

♪ Oh Have You Seen the Light? ♪ by LinnĂ©a
So I can't stop listening to "Sam's Town (Abbey Road Version)" by The Killers. I love it. It makes me smile and cry all at once. That's my predicament at the moment and the reason for my blog. Please enjoy reading my heart ♥

So as for my diagnosis... It sucks.
It hasn't been my foremost thought though. Honestly. If I get something that could possibly be a symptom my mind doesn't go "AH! MS IS ATTACKING ME!!! :O death." I just make myself think, "hey, I'm not dead. I've felt this before... no big."

His Eye is On the Sparrow by Robinlynn
I am love with the greatest man I have ever known who also happens to be my husband. Mother of 3 grown children. Grandmother of 2 little boys with another one on the way. I feed the hungry kitties. I love animals of any kind. I strive to be more Christ like. I count myself super blessed. I am a 3 years breast cancer survior and live daily with Multiple Sclerosis. Some days are better than others but all in all I am okay.
