Morning....

Happy New Year to all!! I am currently sitting eating 3 day old prawn crackers and watching Jooles Holland to see in the New Year - it's quite a good way as far as I am concerned! I have booze, snacks and my hubby!!

Love to all and hope you all have a prosperous New Year!! XXX

Blimey, it's been over a month! Bad me!!

Since my last post what has happened?? Not a lot! I have had a mild flare of symptoms with the cold weather - usual sensory change in my legs so no bother and I have been on 3 Christmas meals!

Our first Christmas meal was on the 1st December - nice early start!! It was the pub quiz Christmas meal so dinner then a quiz! Considering the price Weatherspoons did a really good job! The second was my band Christmas lunch - this was at the Best Western Reading Moat House - it was the best Christmas meal (out) that I have ever had! The food was well cooked, was hot and was tasty!! Very good value for money as well at £15 for 3 courses!

The final meal was yesterday and was my work Christmas lunch - again, very nice for the price! I chickened out and left early as I had been told of snow in the Reading area and it was also reported to be the evening of the big Christmas get away so didn't want to get stuck. I think a few people were out late though!

Today it is snowing - I am supposed to be playing in Christmas Concerts today and am waiting to hear if they are going ahead. At the moment I would head out but as it has just got heavier again I will wait and see before I commit! Will do my best to go if they decide that it is going to go ahead.

Pub Quiz

I went to the local Wednesday Weatherspoons pub quiz last night. I hadn't been before as I had always felt too tired. Now as part of my new regime I have decided to add it into my routine. It isn't every week so should be easy!

One of the regular pub quiz goers is our friend with MS - I think it will take some time before we get used to talking to each other about it. I think I am a lot happier to talk about it than her and I need to remember that.

I don't think I had mentioned my renewed fish tank enthusiasm? Well, we have new residents in the quarantine tank who should be moving into their new home on Saturday. I will then go to the fish shop and purchase some more new fish. Can't wait for it to be back up to full strength again!

Appointment

I went for my MS Nurse appointment this afternoon. My usual nurse is on maternity leave so I expected to see her cover, however I saw the other MS Nurse who I have only ever seen at MS Society information evenings. She was really nice, although I am looking forward to seeing my usual nurse when she gets back in January.

We discussed my bowels and I have to write a food and drink diary and go back in a month or so to discuss it. I most definitely will damage my bowels if I strain on a regular basis, oops..... We also talked about my numbish face and she reminded me to keep them informed of exacerbations/relapses so they can monitor my response to the Rebif. Oh and blood test due in December - lucky me!
