I decided I needed a break and took off on a road trip with my two dogs to Ft. Saskatchewan to hang out with my best friend and celebrate her son's 10th birthday. I remember the day Braxton was born as I was in the delivery room. I was also dealing with being newly diagnosed with MS too. Man! That seems like such a long time ago!
Today I'm going to lunch in Edmonton and will meet Brenda and Misty for lunch at Chili's. I can't wait as we've only chatted on Face Book but I feel like we're old friends. Misty and Brenda have yet to be liberated.
So to update how I'm doing health wise it's pretty much the same as it was last report. I did notice on a warmer day (about 25 Celsius) that my right leg, which is my weakest, got a bit stiff and slightly uncomfortable in the heat. Nothing like I use to get though. I was extremely intolerant of the heat prior to the treatment. I was essentially a prisoner in my air conditioned home all summer long.
I am dreaming about running almost every night now. My sub conscious has really grabbed hold of the treatment and running thing! Who knows if I will ever run again? I'm hoping my legs get stronger but they may just stay like this. I'm cool with that, though. As long as this treatment stops the attacks and progression I am content with the gifts I've so far received from it.
May 5 is just around the corner and when I get home I will be planning our Calgary march with the CCSVI Calgary group. I'm really hoping that everyone in Canada, who has MS or a loved one with it,gets out on the 5th and shows their support for CCSVI. Even if you can't march you can wear a tee shirt or put a sticker on your car.

ReplyDeleteHi Ginger and fellow MS'ers
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are doing well. Can you advise me on something. When I look on line about Poland, is ther more than one center tht does the treatments. The one site is all in Polish so I cannot decifer it. It looks like a big hospital in Warsaw. I saw your program on TV and thought it was in a clinic outside of Warsaw?
Did you get your screening done in Canada repeated in Poland. Or, did they accept you results from here.
@ Randy it took a couple of weeks for me to hear back from them and so far I am only on a wait list for 2011 - hang in there!!
ReplyDelete@Diana I think Ginger saw Dr. Simka in Katowice which is a different spot ;) I think their website is http://www.euromedicpoland.com/
GINGER!!!!!! Okay can the next road trip bring you here after my liberation so we can party??? We'll do the Keg or Chili's or Lonestar I don't care! Hehe the web is amazing for getting us all in the know and to find people you feel like you've known forever. Going through your journey with you has been amazing and it's helped me so much in preparation of whatever is coming my way whether it's just angioplasty or whether I have to grin and bear stenting (YIPES). I'm looking at going to Serbia now possibly too... a good friend of mine is from that area and she may be going there too so we might do it together... Ugh who knows maybe I wont have to leave Canada for it in the end (I hoipe not!!!) but if I have to I will, just like you did!
You da bomb ;)
Ginger - I love reading about this. Seeing your progress day to day is inspiring. It is very brave of you to share this experience. I do not have MS, but I have another chronic condition. This gives me hope.
