Great day….Today has been wonderful especially after the stressful time over the previous couple of days, friday was seeing the neurologist at Queens medical in Nottingham, I’m not really sure why I have to see him because they have told me I’m at stage 4 MS which in their view means incurable. I saw a different doctor 6 months ago who gave me that view. Actually I see that as their opinion and as we all know everyone is entitled to an opinion.
My opinion is completely different, I see this as I’m on a stepping stone to my healing, this is just a place I’m staying temporarily. I refuse to look at this as my end days, yes I’m a lot better off than I was in Colorado but this is not exactly as I’d like to be, I’m in pain and discomfort 24 hours a day. I can stand and shuffle about using furniture and walls but walking just doesn’t happen…
But as I said I’m massively better off now than 18 months ago, so happy and so very grateful to be here, to be alive…
So yesterday was again in Nottingham but this time seeing the people that decide if I’m worthy of disability benefits.
I, we, sat with a doctor who asked a lot of questions then wrote a report so in a couple of weeks I’ll get a letter notifying me if they deem me sick enough for disability benefits or healthy enough to go back to work…Hmmm.
Today my wonderful sister Suzie came over then drove me back to her place for Sunday lunch. Stuart her boyfriend was busy cooking, he’s a great guy and a fantastic cook. Lamb, roasties, new potatoes, carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and gluten free gravy, it was heavenly, one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. I’ve another serving in the fridge and there’s no way I’m waiting till tomorrow to eat it.
I’m confident that everything will work out as it’s meant to be, I will remain positive and confident that wonderful amazing things will happen to me and for me.
