Whining, wining and winning!

I know that to many of you I have been not spending this time wisely and much of what I have been saying out loud to all of you might be misinterpreted as being a bit of WHINING. In other words, droning on, humming not with any musicality to speak of or purring not at all catlike or perhaps just an annoying buzz in your ear, and for all of that I am somewhat sorry! Sure I do know that I have been an enormous complaining B---H! (It rhymes with witch)
All right, that wasn’t a complete apology, but you must remember I am not a well person… But to be fair … who is absolutely sure that all is perfect at this point in their advancing age; after all everyone has something, even if it’s just a hangnail, hmm?
And although I know that can be painful, I wish for you all to have that to be your only medical disorder, a hangnail, got that?
The rest of this stuff is no fun and I wouldn’t wish any of it on my ‘worse enemy’.
That’s another thing; is there such a thing as a ‘best enemy’, I wonder?
Nah then they would be a friend, correct or not, confused, always?

Life is difficult enough without complicating it with deluging strangers with your own misguided unrestrained consistent lament of poor me, why me or what have you?
But, go with me here… if any of this sounds familiar to the world at large then you have a community of understanding and to me that is always a good thing, a commonality, never ever a bad one! TA DA! And so I have done my job, which is yet to be determined by a bunch of Monks in a faraway land…waiting…

And so after I diligently posted this blog wherever the world would allow me to, I did get some positive feedback, which made it more than worthwhile!
Yep, a person with a site for trying to actually find a Cure for Multiple Sclerosis wrote back to me that he felt my blog was a ‘good read’!
Nicer words have not been heard from someone new in quite some time and to say I was elated would be an understatement!
You see, I finally got a bit wiser and posted it where it should go when I stick on the MS topic, which to be honest has been of late more often than usual as you all know, but brilliantly to post it on MS sites it was an Oprah, aha moment!

Whack! That’s me hitting myself on the side of my own head!
Well, not literarily, more like metaphorically, since why didn’t I think of that before, nearly three years I have been writing this drivel and it never occurred to me before… boy, am I slow on the uptake or what?
Friends, don’t answer that or enemies either, be kind…
We all know that the disabled are sensitive, sorry, that’s just plain baloney!
Everyone is if you hit their particular nerve!

Next I mentioned WINING, as in wining and dining, well oddly enough my request about the length of time it takes to be safe from harming your liver with a bit of the grape after steroid treatment, never was answered…
I am declaring a no fault situation here, since officially it is the weekend and has now been a few days since stopping the step down pills and the hard stuff the IV Solumedrol infusions, I do believe that a goblet of Cabernet Sauvignon would not only be beneficial but luscious! Too late if you want to send feedback, since I am determined to join the living well good people tonight! Even if it is just a wee bit of symbolic, being it a fine wine from a well renowned California vineyard. Back to reality, the year is probably this one, sadly that is not on the corked bottle, and so I am not so high-brow after all…hmm… of course, you all knew that!

Fantasy, WINNING was the last of my entitled words to discuss this evening and for fear of not wanting to be thought too crazy, but admit we all are a little bit, that’s what makes us fun people, as if the steroids caused that or due to my choice of that particular word. Or heaven forbid a follower of the notorious Two and Half Men actor/star, Charlie Sheen, who used to be rather likeable until he fell from our graces…with his deeply concerning recent misbehavior.
I just wanted to say that anytime we awake and are breathing and can move from here to there we can consider ourselves, winning the war against any illness.
The expression for my particular ill is that “I have MS but it doesn’t have me!”
A very pleasant mantra…and for all of us with any chronic ailment we must incorporate that into our daily lives; use it often, for it is free splurge!

On that upbeat note of trying to take the weight of the world off your shoulders one blog at a time let me be the first to wish a very happy good night and to ask you kindly count your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
Now, take care, and be happy and well and make sure peace comes to you and yours and next time for my own selfish sake please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS the wine is sublime

Good morning, FB seems to be rejecting me. I am unable to give you a thumbs up there, so a big thumbs up here! Thank you for this safe haven and a great read. Hope the day treats you well. With all the Bruins hoopla, Boston's internet is painfully slow. So, thank you for a brief respite. Susanna
