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!

A Forever Love Show & Tell

In sixth grade I remember covering one of my text books with, of all things, aluminum foil. Then I took a Tigerbeat magazine and cut out every picture I could find of the Beatles.  I glued (as best one can glue paper to foil) picture after picture of John, George and Paul all over the front of the book.  On the back, I glued only pictures of Ringo.  Don't ask.  I don't know why he was my favorite, but he was.  I then took cellophane and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it over the entire book and taped it (again, the best one can tape cellophane to aluminum foil).  When I say all the girls in my class were jealous ... I'm exaggerating.  LOL  I didn't give a hoot if they liked it or not.  I'm was a crafty kind of a girl.  When I say crafty, it means I liked to play with glue, construction paper, etc -- not that I was crafty as in sly.  *grin*

In junior high and high school, we had to be serious about our studies and treat our books like we respected them.  I LOVE books ... I would NEVER deface a book!  However, I also loved Paul ... Paul of Forever Love Paul, not Beatle Paul.  By my sophomore year of high school I graduated from falling hopelessly in love with rock stars who didn't know I was alive to being hopelessly obsessed with real, live boys who didn't know I was alive.  Although, never once was I crestfallen because Beatles Paul or Ringo passed me in the hall and didn't notice me.  The only person who could achieve that sort of emotional wreckage was Forever Love Paul.

Anyone remember actually taking a paper bag out of the cupboard, cutting out the bottom, slitting it up the side and using it to make a bookcover for a school book?  There were four school aged kids in our house.  We FOUGHT for paper bags.  Ahhh, those were the days.  A stinging forearm and half a paper bag in hand -- the other half in a sibling's hand.

I don't know what year I did it, but at one time I covered a bookcover with different versions of "Paul" ... in cursive, block print, with flowers, dots ... you name it, I came up with at least fifty ways to write Paul.  I don't think I would have done this while I was in school with Paul because there was a very good chance he or his sister might see it.  I'm nearly certain I did it the year after I moved away and was at a different school.

Not long ago, I was going through some boxes while digging for more Paul memorabilia (of which there is much).  In one box,, I found a wax paper sandwich bag -- is my age showing?  The contents of the box had been joustled so much in several moves, the poor bag and it's contents was even more cumpled.  Inside the bag were several pieces of brown paper, kinda crumpled and torn.  I opened the bag and pulled out the pieces carefully.  When I turned them over, I was amazed to see what they were.  I pieced them together and snapped a picture.

Ahhh, love's debris.  Well, not really debris because although I tore and cumpled it up, I obviously couldn't bring myself to dispose of it AND I've held on to it for thirty-nine years!  Is that normal?

how cute! that*s so funny, my mum loved Ringo as well for some odd reason, she could never figure out why he was her favorite either! funny that :p
Posted by gregala @ 03/30/2008 10:33 PM PDT
that is so sweet! it shows the heart of the woman you were to become, and the fact that you have saved it all these years shows the soul of the girl you still are. love you, sweetie.
Posted by Deirdre @ 03/30/2008 07:49 PM PDT
It's not called Forever Love for nothing. ;) That's great. I love it.
Posted by pendoodles @ 03/28/2008 08:38 PM PDT
Perfectly NORMAL! LOL

You ought to see what love junk we have tucked here & there around this place. ;)

Not only did I do my school books in paper bags; at the beginning of my children's school years I'd go get paper bags and cover theirs for them.

They wanted those new things. I'm not exactly sure what they were like other than you had to *gasp* pay for it. What I remember most was looking at my daughter as if she was a martian and telling her she was crazy to want this store bought thing... "You can't write on it!!"

I think she thinks I am the martian in the family. But, when you have four kids you use paper bags to cover their books. To make it special, I put a reminder of how much I loved them, or something about choosing friends wisely. Or maybe a book might have something as simple as "Have a good day."

They went and bought their own book covers! Apparently it's not cool to carry around a book that Mom writes on!

So I don't have any book-covers lying around. But I DO still have old love notes from high school. I have all my old journals from that time frame, too. I think, somewhere, I still have a box with a plastic spider, a bottle-cap, and other crush memorabilia. I'm a love-type pack-rat.
Posted by Tammy @ 03/28/2008 04:50 PM PDT
Wow... That is awesome. And the fact that you still have it says a lot, actually...

I covered my books, too, but I don't remember if I wrote on the covers or not...

I spent many hours adding a different last name to mine, though, INSIDE the notebook!! :P

Oh, well...

Those were the days.

(...and good riddance!)

:D
Posted by Melly @ 03/28/2008 03:29 PM PDT
i used to do that stuff all the time. i did it on the inside of the covers or inside my notes books. but i drew all over my book covers. we were actually told by our teachers that we 'had' to cover our books. so all my books were covered in paper bags. oh the memories. i actually looked through some old high school notebooks last weekend.
