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!

That's no girl, that's my sister ...

I just got off the phone with my oldest brother.  His wife is totally disabled by MS.  He's her caretaker plus has a full time job.  He apologized that he's not able to be here for my surgery.  My sister is having problem with chronic anemia.  She can't be here either and feels terrible about it.  So who do they want to ask to come?  My jackass brother.  I said ...

"Okay." 

Hey, I'm a big girl.  It wouldn't hurt to have a member of the family here.  Besides, I'll be in bed, my head wrapped like a mummy and loaded out of my mind on morphine.  He can't pick a fight with me then, right?  Hell, just the morphine alone will keep me quiet ... maybe even happy.

I don't really need anyone here but my siblings feel one of them should be here .  It's what will make them feel better.  Who am I to deny them that?  It's not all about me ... I'm a part of a family.  It's about all of us pulling together for each other as we always have.

I thought that when we lost mama, we would scatter and not be as close ever again.  This will be the second time I've said this in a week ... I was wrong.  We're even closer now. 

My heart is so full right now.  *Friday smiles*

**The title of this post is a direct quote from my jackass brother.  It's what he said whenever one of his high school buddies would ask who I was. 

Perhaps it's important to note that although he and I have had our share of problems ... even though I think he's a jackass and I say so, I also still claim him as my brother.  <3

Reminds me of Lyle Lovetts ... "Thats no Lady Thats my Wife". Blah Blah Just try to remember that be sick is a lot harder than having to be there watching someone you love suffer. I've had the easy part a lot. Hope all goes well.
Posted by Friday @ 07/17/2008 09:08 AM PDT
No he hasn't consented. I think my oldest brother is being very optimistic. I don't think my jackass brother will want to be here at all. But you know me, I always have to follow my higher sense of right so I agree.

Love you Deedums!
Posted by Deirdre @ 07/17/2008 08:37 AM PDT
Aww. *hugs*

That is very kind of you to allow your brother to be there for you given your history.

Just curious... do you think he will want to be there or has he already agreed to it?

Posted by Andrea @ 07/17/2008 06:39 AM PDT
Sending loads of hugs your way

((((HUGS)))))
Posted by Daveman @ 07/16/2008 06:58 PM PDT
Lady Fri - I'll be there with you in heart. If you need something I may not be able to fetch it for you, but if you feel like you gotta yell at your brother - just turn your head to me your bedside and whisper in your mind.., "See what I have to put up with? Muahahaha". And if you need hugs. Well Im sending my hugs with you. - See? Right here..,
----------> H U G S <---------
So PACK those hugs along with you when you go to surgery. Oh tay?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TAG. I try to acknowledge everyone, but sometimes the challenge that MS presents doesn't afford me the energy. If you find that I've overlooked your tag, please blame my fatigued and addled brain and not my <3.
