Better late than never

I am late getting my weekly blog in.  I don't think it matters much anyway.  I kind of think of this as a journal rather than a blog since I am not imparting any wisdom here.  So here is my weekly "journal" entry.  It has not been a good week.  Sunday I heard some family news that was not very happy.  Praying about that.  Then Monday I woke up not feeling quite right.  I managed to do most of my regular routine and even got in the exercise room.  Went to bed that night still not feeling right.  Tues. I thought about calling the doctor but put it off.  Kept thinking I would eventually feel right.  Feeling right for a person with MS is not always all that good and it is hard to tell if you are feeling bad because of the MS or another reason.  I am pretty numb and don't feel things like others.  So though my stomach was not feeling right and my back was also not good I couldn't tell if it was MS or something else.  By Wednesday I decided I must call the doctor.  Guess what?  I called after noon and he leaves at noon on Wednesday!  The first he had an opening was on  Friday.  I gave the symptoms I was having and said I would think about Friday and call back.  Apparently the doctor was still there and when he heard he had them call me back and ask if I could get in at 8:15am  the next day.  So I said yes.  Well, long story short...I had blood work done..a thorough exam and now have to go to the hospital next Wed. for a scan and back to see doctor next Thurs.  He gave me a prescription for something that could have been the problem and I have been taking it.  I do seem to be feeling better.  I don't think it is going to end up being something bad bad........but?  I think the MS has something to do with what is happening but taking precautions to make sure its not something else. That is it in my life right now.  Feeling better and hope to say all well that ends well in my next entry.
