Yep I have rediscovered the downstairs after having been confined to bed for 15 days. The new antibiotics have finally kicked in and I am up and if not exactly about I am sitting watching the Qualifiing for the F1. Now I need to try and regain some strength, but for today I aim to just enjoy my surroundings so excersises can wait till Monday.But my wife just reminded me I am due a catheter change next week so maybe this trip will be short lived as I usualy spend a day in bed after the nurse has been. See how exciting MS can be! dont you just love it? ---

Hope you sleep tonight Hoppity. The night seems to last a million years when you can’t sleep. One great thing about Amitriptyline is that I sleep really deep most of the time… but still get the occasional night when the old brain just won’t shut down (I worry about things that happened 40 years ago… madness!) 22 year old son’s are incredibly hard-hearted. Take no notice. Pat x That’s me out for the count!
