After paying the owner the sales price of the van on Nov. 18, we finally have tags and can drive it as of December 3. This entire experience has been one of frustration and endurance from the beginning but it’s over now, and we have the freedom provided by a wheelchair van. Today, after breakfast, […]

Every time Lynn goes through a spell of feeling bad, I wonder, “Is this MS or something else?” MS is so sneaky. It affects so many components of the body and mimics so many other things that it’s not always easy to tell. Like now. Something is wrong with Lynn. He associates it with when

I received my annual performance review today.

We made arrangements for our home health nurse to give Lynn the flu shot today. I expect he will feel pretty rough tomorrow and maybe Sunday too because anytime he gets a vaccine or a change in medications or has to adjust to just about anything different, it knocks the wind out of him. It
