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 ...
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.
If you requested a graphic and it's not here then it's probably here.
If time and health allow, I'm willing to make custom group hugs. Request on taggie. Specify colors & names. Group hug without names is fine ... whatever. Two to four huggers.

"Rules are, there are no rules." There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say anything and everything that pops into your head.
Month to month :: paycheck to paycheck ... hand to mouth, same old *stuff* day after day
Adjusted :: well-adjusted (not me) ... attitude adjustment (needed often) ... or, to make more comfortable -- as in "he adjusted himself"
Prank :: I can't really do this one without being totally politically incorrect but I'll give you a hint .. it has to do with a heavy asian accent and being put off a pirate ship. Hey, don't get irrate -- I'm Mexican and I make cracks about Mexicans all the time. For instance, chew is what you wear on your foot and shoe is what you do to food in your mouth. But I digress, on to the next muttering.
Mop :: head (The Beatles) ... and bucket ... uh -- dust collector and I don't mean a dust mop either. The dust mop is the mortal enemy of the black long-haired dust bunnies that live in my house. Neither the mop nor the dust mop get much use in my house. I'm not a great house cleaner but I'm cute so it all evens out. But I digress again ...
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

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.
Thank you to Deirdre who INSPIRED this "I'M NOT DISSING YOU" announcement.
