#thisgirlcan – Page 4 – Living life the MegaSpecial way!

Remembering how I was 2 years ago…

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

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!

It’s going to be a great day!

5 year MS anniversary! Time to celebrate! BOOM!

It’s going to be a great day!

University hospital Coventry first for my 6 monthly eye check!
This is just routine for me due to my fluctuating vision from my MS. I always have a ‘visual field’ check first which I had last Friday, so today I’ll get the results from that too
I’m not expecting it to show any problems but fingers crossed any way! This is how my MS was detected!

So what else is on the cards for today? Tuesday 11th August… did u mention it’s my 5 year? Surely I didn’t forget!

Pilates today, can’t wait! Seems such a long time because I couldn’t attend Fridays class!
Hannah is covering Kates classes again this week whilst she’s on holiday.
I always enjoy Hannah’s classes, her energy is incredible! She covered Laura’s MS exercise class yesterday & it was great!
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of her when she arrived in her florescent clothes to show off her amazing tan!
