Matter of Grey Matter

September 11, 2001 --
Through blurred double vision, I watched in horror as the Twin Towers in NYC crumbled to the ground. I feared I was going blind and prayed, "Please don't let these horrifying images be the last I see."

An MRI revealed a brain lesion pressing against my optic nerve. Several years of invasive tests and terrifying uncertainty followed. Finally, in December of 2004 I received my diagnosis ...

"What is MS?" Video


I began daily injections of Copaxone in June of 2005.  Although I seem to have permanent symptoms from my last exacerbation, my last MRI revealed no new lesions and no new scarring.

I recently discovered that the best prep for injection is a warm compress before and after. I no longer get unsightly bruises or huge knots and there's less pain.

Little known tidbit about Friday: I paid $600 for my very first computer in 1996. It was built to spec for one reason ... so I could play Diablo. I became addicted to the music of Tristram Village. To me, it's musical valium.

I am loved!

Friday takes care of you ...

When I logged on tonight, the Sloganizer read, "Friday takes care of you."  My first thought was, "I would if I could."  There are people in my life -- online and offline -- that are going through some tumultuous times.  I've embraced them with my heart but I wish I could do more.

Did you know that when you cry, I cry?  Did you know that when your heart aches I want to ease your pain?  Did you know that I feel protective of you and would shield you from despair if I could?  Did you know that I want to nurture you ... spoil you ... make you laugh ... make your life better in some small way.  When you're sick I wish I could be there to take care of you.  When you're hurting or scared or just blue, I wish I could just hug you and say, "It's okay.  Whatever you feel right now, it's okay.  We'll get through this together."  I feel this way because ... because I love you.  Does that seem like a strange thing to say?  Understandably so ... lots of people seem to throw that word around a lot these days, but I truly mean it.  I hope that doesn't scare you because truly, I don't want anything from you.  You gift me with so much already. 

Does this all seem cryptic?  If you think I'm talking to you, chances are, you're right.  I haven't made any secret about the women that I think "totally rock".

I'm not used to this, sharing about what I feel in the core of my heart.  I know that there are people who think I'm sappy or lame or whatever.  Maybe I am.  I just don't care anymore. 

My mother used to say that I was "too gentle to live among wolves".  I believe it's from a James Kavanaugh poem.  (Actually, pretty funny, my mom quoting James Kavanagh.)  What she was saying is that my heart is tender.  I'm easily hurt.  I'm too sensitive.  But it's exactly that thing that makes me too sensitive that makes me so sensitive to others.  It's exactly that sensitivity that makes me love fiercely and steadfastly.

Paul McCartney wrote, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."  I hope so because my heart seems to be making a lot of love lately and I just don't seem to be able to stifle it or hide it -- nor do I want to.  I may not have a brilliant mind, but I have a brilliant heart and I refuse to hide that any longer.

So, I love you -- get used to it.

This is beautiful. Congrats on having so much love in your life.
Posted by Deirdre @ 03/04/2008 08:32 AM PST
You are such a beautiful soul, Friday. I'm glad to be apart of your life. <3
Posted by Candy @ 03/04/2008 08:22 AM PST
You know, my life would not be complete without you in it, my dearest.

I love you sugar. With all of my heart.

It's an incredible feeling, to love completely, unabashedly, and unselfishly, and then to have that love returned. It makes your heart overflow with goodness.

:hugs and hugs: I'm so glad you're my best friend.

I love you, get used to it. Hm... Yeah, I can handle that.

Friday does take care of you. And you, and you, and me, too. Even when all you can offer is your heart and soul, you gotta remember... it's your heart and soul! Thats a darn lot.

I love you, babe.
