My behavior lately has been very reclusive of late...I go to work, come home, go to work, come home. I don't necessarily think it's the fatigue. But I have to blame it. I don't go anywhere...then the next week I am no where to be found, I am on the go.
Last week I drove to Atlantic City and back within 7 hours, when I came home the only thing is to drop down and go to sleep. I think this fatigue is repercussion of that..so I am going to drop my microphone and walk away...
stay tuned during this interruption...

Relationships
I never wanted this blog to be about relationships - especially romantic b/c I can only comment on mine and how MS came into play.
I've learned so much about who is "real" and who is for me, since MS has came to the forefront.
Once I was diagnosed, I've lost relationships (obvious that they were never "real") and I've gained new ones. I've developed greater friendships with some old ones and the most important relationship - was myself.
I learned not to put ANYONE before myself. If I am not well, I can not take care of my son.
I cut all my hair off - swore off relaxers - it was a very cleansing thing to do. I have to say I picked up other obsessions such as accessories and sneakers but more on that later.
What really matters is that everyone goes through relationships, some good,some bad, some lasting, some only for a minute. We really have to take from those relationships and just move on. *shrug*
You can't hold on to anything that wants to slip away.

Mobility
It came a time that I wanted something else besides the cane to help me get around - it became so hard to walk. I was able to walk blocks upon blocks. So I decided to get a scooter, I was more than embarrassed about it. I am going to be honest. I'm already self conscious that I am walking with a cane.
A coworker brought in his mother in law's scooter to let me use for the MJB/Jay Z concert back in 2008 and I was very eager about it. And the great service I got at MSG from security and ticket agents - made me feel special. Like I had nothing to worry about. No one was looking at me with curiosity.
I soon got my own, and b/c my insurance coverage required that I pay 10% - I only paid $75!
That was such a low cost for me to get out of the house. I was no longer trapped.
The site that I used was www.pridemobility.com - I have the GoGo Ultra X.
It's really cool, it breaks down into 5 pieces (including the basket) which fits well into my trunk.
Now the only stares I get is from senior citizens and kids! I often just refer those people who actually ask where did I get it from.
The pharmacy that carried it was Elmora Pharmacy in Elizabeth, NJ.
If you want to find it near you, go to Pride Mobility's website and search for locations.
