Well, a few weeks have past since my last neurology visit, and I have been doing a lot of think, and soul searching. Its tough realizing you have a disease that seems to be as unpredictable as a Donovan McNabb pass. Some days are good, and I have no problems, others really suck and then there are the days that are so-so, meaning a mixture of good and bad.
Through all this, I am still an employee, a husband, and a father, and with that the responsibilities that are part of being the aforementioned. Balancing life, work, and still managing to stay focused on all the tasks at hand is quite a task at times. Most of the time I do so with very little complaining, and keeping a smile on my face...even though I am really having a tough time mentally and sometimes physically coping with the challenges of MS, and a heart condition.
I still mange to get 4-5 days of indoor bike riding, averaging about 13 miles or so (35 +/- minutes). Depending on how I feel I go more or less. When I go less because I am too fatigued I get mad at myself, and it typically affects my mood.
Then there is the newly developing cognitive issues, which are frustrating especially when speaking. Hopefully the visit with the specialist next month will shed some light on, and we can move forward with some treatment options.
One day at a time, as easy as it sounds, its a lot tougher than it is.
