That moment when realisation hits you

That moment when realisation hits you!

I suffer such bad anxiety due to my MS & I am now aware how moody I get. Sorry Debbie!

Today at 09:30 I was supposed to exchange my Fiat Panda ‘Po’ of 3 years for my new little Fiat 500 ‘Red’
Yes I have anxiety about it! Not just because I won’t have my Panda any longer but because I am changing from a manual to an automatic! Big deal for me, part of my acceptance of my MS!
I am really looking forward to being able to drive without stalling my car and getting tired because of having to think about so many things at the same time! Part of my anxiety is that I don’t like change!

So at 08:30 I had a phone call from the Fiat garage to say that there was a problem with the ‘motability’ system and I could not collect my car at 09:30

I just called in at the garage as I was on my way to my 11am pilates class. Motability system still not working so no car! 🚗

I shall now be collecting it after my pilates class, at 12:30
I don’t feel as anxious now, just a little nervous about it being an automatic!

Watch this space! 😄

Remembering how I was 2 years ago…

image

Looking back at my MS journey… 2 years ago I had to start using 2 walking sticks all the time!

How I am now… wow!
I’m gonna enjoy it & not take days like these for granted because the horrible thing about this disease is it can all change in a heart beat!

The best thing though is its because of me that I’m stronger! Shere will & determination!

#MSFactFriday Fact #1 Fatigue

image

I’m guessing us MegaSpecials we’ll feeling a wee bit fatigued tomorrow!

Bring it on! It’s gonna be so much fun!
The happiest 5k it’s called, ‘The Color Run’ is coming to Birmingham tomorrow & I’m taking part with a team of my friends! So, 3 of us have MS & the rest are our support team to make sure we get round ok & push the wheelchairs when our legs have had enough of the walking! I have some amazing friends!

So why are we doing it? Well, Tuesday was my 5 year diagnosis anniversary so for me I’m celebrating that! I’m proud of me & I’m loving life!
Challenging myself to do what my hobby was until I could no longer count on my legs.
Just before I was diagnosed me & my partner had bought ourselves hiking equipment. We loved finding new areas to go to & explore but unfortunately I started to experience pain & weakness in my legs so we had to stop.

I’ve been going to pilates classes 3 times a week & training privately as well. Concentrating on my core muscle to help with my balance and walking!

This girl most certainly can!

Still time to sponsor me & team #BAM4MSUK

Feeling rather proud of myself right now & what better day than on my 5 year anniversary for this to arrive! (11th August)

My piece in the MS Trusts publication “where there’s a will”

This is the article I hope to be in ‘The Telegraph’ next month, that’s if the newspaper decide to promote ‘remember a charity in your will week’ now that would be something special!

What an amazing day yesterday was!
