My lost weekend

Primary progressive MS
1

Hi gang, wrote on here on Saturday that my gorilla was out of control… well to cut a long story short… I was up most of Saturday night throwing up… YUK… don’t know what it was, a bug maybe… but I never ever catch anything normally (was doing that hellish thing of trying not to be sick… complete waste of time, better to just give in)… oh and I also got the hug… OMG better to just forget about it!

Well whatever it was it seems to have gone. Still no appetite but strength is coming back and legs are back to their wobbly but functioning selves.

Actually it did feel like I’d had too much to drink! Room spinning and everything. Maybe it was just talking about Champagne on here the other day that did it… (hence my reference to the film ‘The Lost Weekend’… golden oldie movie about an alcoholic!)

Slept most of yesterday so the whole weekend has disappeared into a fog.

Hope you’re all doing ok.

Onward and upward…

Poor you Pat, I hope you are now back to JUST living with MS. When anything like that happens I’m usually hoping/praying JUST leave me with the MS - I can cope with that! Is that ‘sick’ or what? sorry about the pun.Nothing much happened at the weekend… Take care, MSorry about the delay with the sympathy

Hi M, thanks love. Yes JUST leave me with the MS!!!

Ate bowl of muesli this morning and went to loo (first time since thursday!)

Sooooooooo blo*dy tired. Actually went to sleep last night wondering if I was dying. Seriously felt like it… and perhaps what’s worse is I didn’t care.

However, I didn’t die of course. Woke up to a new day and had been dreaming of jambalya (dish from the US south made from sausages and rice) so I suppose my thoughts of death were a bit dramatic.

Sorry you’ve been M and hope you are feeling a bit better today.

What are we like? I to get that feeling sometimes and think ‘I don’t care’ BUT here we are again, your jambalya made me feelnot into sauages. What’s the seafood thing from the South? What must I never do again? Eat seafood, how warped is my brain, be kind don’t answer.M

Hi M, I think that might be the same dish… made various different ways and one is with shellfish… anyway haven’t had it for years and way beyond cooking something like that now… (“pierce film several times and place in middle of microwave”)

Still struggling here with the damned crazy gorilla who is hugging me badly on my left side… don’t you just love it… the one-sided hug…

Bye for now… xx

Hi Pat

Thanks, we did have a lovely break. Although very tiring, it is lovely to have a change of

scenery and different people to talk to.

As you can tell, I always enjoy having a natter, passes the time of day in what can be a

very small world of ms.

Really glad you feel better, and enjoy your eating, need to catch up now.

Pam
