It was the best of times...it was the worst of times...

 Howdy folks!  I had a nice treat; my wonderful wife Kathy has a 3 day weekend & we are spending every minute together w/our silly dog Halligan (we named him after a firefighting tool), got him from the shelter & trained him ourselves to be my service dog & he is so fun & funny! :) My poor wife works full time on top of taking care of me. I know all of you caretakers and family members can relate-she's had to learn so much about medicine, shots, I.Vs, catheterizing & pathophysiology. It does help that I was a Paramedic Instructor. Things are getting a little tight right now... Who I am kidding? We are so broke we can't "pay" attention. Too broke to "change" our minds ha ha ha! At least we can still joke about it- my MS may steal nearly everything I got but it will never deny me my sense of humor...Lucky you! :) My medical expenses & co-pays eat up my pension & even though Kathy has a business degree & worked for Merrill Lynch for 20 yrs all she has been able to find is a minimum wage job.  We can't get ahead & want to move back to Arizona but we can't afford it. It's a mess! All of our furniture and personal belongings are being held up at a moving company  in  Phoenix and we don't have enough to move our belongings out here, which is one of the reasons we're calling a hotel room home. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Good health to all and God Bless.

    I'm a retired firefighter, loving husband, proud father, bad joke teller, gym rat. I've been called a warrior who is battling Stage 4 Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. Rather than letting it define me- I'm redefining what it means to live with these diseases. If I can look on the bright side...So can you!
