Hi gang, had an Easter Day skype with my grandson (aged 8). He said ‘hello nana and happy easter and thanks for the eggs and I love you’… Asked him if he was in a hurry… ‘well yes nana cos the boys next door and me are playing and they are waiting for me now…’ Hahahaha… oh well… that was the shortest conversation ever… but actually you couldn’t ask for more… happy and keen to get back to his game! Hope everyone is doing ok today? I know these holidays can be really hard esp if you’ve got family around and all… MS & symptoms esp fatigue and family do’s are not really a good mix. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re doing ok. And if you’re having a hard time, remember, it’ll all be over after tomorrow. Love ya, Pat xx

Hi t, wise words I had a rather difficult day yesterday felt physically ill and tired, still tired but have come up to the common with some of the family and have done a short walk with time to sit and take in the bird song and enjoy the sunshine and have the odd chat with folks passing by. Having a stick is like having a dog it is a great ice breaker and moving slowly helps you take I more of nature. I’ve really only had a verbal dx for just over two weeks and it is not definitive yet by the way. But I feel I that I am coming to terms with MS phase you have a bad day try and follow it up with good one which sow far today I have done. My wife gave me a long angry lecture this morning which could be summed up as stop obsessing about yourself and get on with what you can. I felt that post dx times are bound to be difficult but rather one should make a effort to to terms with it, work through the cry,feel angry, ask god why he chose me and phases and work towards acceptance. She see’s it differently but it Ithink time will tell and there will be a period of accommodation. Still I’m surprising myself I am still able to pretty much get on with things and am able to engage builders. Plan my retirement and so on. The message I get from these pages is on of hope and stoicism lets hope that I can find that strength and be an asset to you and everyone else. I hope you all can help me avoid the black dog of depression
