Early

4.30 in the morning, the pain in my legs have woken me up, that sucks. I am going to try go back to bed for a couple of hours, this is a work day so no chance of taking it easy.
Trying not to feel sorry for myself but yesterday was a challenge, at times I was finding it hard to move around. God knows how people put up with this, I have only had to tolerate MS for a short while and already it's beginning to really piss me off. Balls, bollocks, bottoms, bums and any other cleanish swear word I can't think of. Note to self.......Look up clean swear words, It's not good that you only know all the really bad ones :-)

Christmas

It's a few days after Christmas, my two little darlings. Abigail 7 and Ellie 5 had a lot of fun opening their presents, our house looked like a paper recycling plant after. I have always heard that you shouldn't spoil your kids but I will and enjoy doing it. It is amazing though how many different things you can buy little girls these day. An example is this robotic parrot that Abigail wanted, this thing talks, dances, snores when it sleeps and even farts, blooming thing has a remote control and pushing a button on it produces a wonderful raspberry.
The New Year is just around the corner.

Sunday Snow

Just finished using the snow thrower, a couple of inches of the white stuff over night. Enough that I need get the snow eating green machine out. I am still doing this job myself, until that is the depth of snow is to much, and then it's a call to someone to do the job for me.
When I first moved in to our house, after years in an apartment. I thought no problem with snow, I will buy a machine to tackle the job. How time has changed my opinion, Snow Sucks.
I want to move to Hawaii.

Time for a little update.
Mission MS is now official, thank you Ann Burman (Our lovely Lawyer).

We will be holding a Charity Auction September 2008 this will be hosted by Antiquorum. So far I have been promised over 40 watches from Watch Manufacturers as well as Watch Retailers around the USA. Here is a little list.

Manufacturers.

Retailers.
Cellini, Armstrong Rockwell, William Barthman, Tourneau, Kenjo, Adlers, DeBoulle, Govberg and on and on.

This list is very small and within the next few months I will be launching a website listing everybody.

All these companies have been very generous in supporting my Charity a Hug and Kiss to them all.

I have started to contact MS websites, other MS charities and Doctors. To start setting up the network we will need.

I am especially working on a group self help project, based either locally and through the web.

I am still working on getting the drug companies on board, so wish me luck.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Lazy

Written English

As you all may of noticed by now, my pathetic use of the English language stops me from writing an entry everyday. This is because I don't want to appear to be a right Rodney (A Very English Expression), so it does tend to take me ages to even compose a few lines.
But going forward this is going to change, if you are the type that fusses over the incorrect use of the English language please go to:
http://www.oed.com/
Which is the Oxford English Dictionary home page and this site should give you many hours of pleasure you may even find a mistake and delight in sending a letter to them pointing out the said mistake. Punctuation somewhere in that last sentence would of been good :-)
As you can tell I always have an excuse for being a little lazy. But back to ME, going forward I am going to be a little bit badder with the old English. So please forgive, forget and visit me often.

PS I am still gonna use spell check, i'm not that lazy

Feeling Good

Monday lunch time, I just had a Buritto yum yum.
Feeling good the last 2 days , this makes a change as the last few weeks have been a real
low point.

One of the chaps at work decided yesterday, he needed to to almost chop his left arm off. Blood everywhere I am told, but after great treatment from our local hospital St Barnabus, and a few hours of surgery he should be back to normal soon. Hope that process is as quick as possible.

My father John, or the "Silver Fox" as one of my brothers has nick named him, has been admitted to hospital with a chest infection. I hope he gets better soon, he gives me a hard time about not looking after myself. I know he reads this so.....
TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE :-)

No Smiles today

6.15am been awake since 5.00am. Not feeling good at all.
My right eye hurts and the focus is out a little, my legs really hurt and I generally feel like sh*t.
I am going to call in sick today, I don't want to but I need rest, as i don't want this to get any worse. I haven't been feeling great for a few days now. This eye thing is beginning t0 bother me a lot, especially this last week. I hope the rest helps as the next step is a trip to the old saw bones. Where the only treatment is another course of Steroids, which make you feel like superman for a few days but slowly you come back down to earth and the aches and pains return.

I did go to the MS conference Sunday, very interesting. I will do a post on the morning soon.
