O/T Updates

I had O/T yesterday and she gave me the same tests as the first day. I improved in all areas. I still can't write and have trouble typing, but I've improved drastically. I have a neuro appt. on Monday so we'll see what the doctor says. The therapist said that this next Friday could be my last session. So, we'll see. I have tons of at home exercises I will still have to do.

Unfortunatly, even though my left hand is improving, I have been getting numbness on the right side of my face off and on. It doesn't hurt and happens mostly when I'm standing up from sitting, or if I'm getting stressed over something. I don't know if this will last, but it is annoying.

That's apparently one of the most upsetting things about MS... it's unpredictable. Troubles can come and go, or stay. Some can go and come back years later. Ther's just no knowing.

Well, I think our little peanut is well. I haven't felt sick in two weeks. But, I MUST eat every two hours. And, I cannot eat a ton at one time or I feel awful. I had breakfast at 10:30 and it's 12:30 and I'm dying of hunger. I have food cooking but it's not fast enough!

I don't get back to the doctor until early December so hopefully our little one will be growing and thriving all of this time. I'd love another ultrasound but I've been lucky that I already got two. Most women don't get one until 20 weeks! I should at least be able to hear the heart beat at my 12 week appt. though a doppler. I hope I do!

Lunch awaits and I must eat!

You sound more positive and less stressed than before. Good sign that all is fairly well. I'm glad you have the home exercises to keep your hand flexible. It is good that you can help yourself fight the symptoms.
