However, I can tell you that your bathroom changes will be worth the effort. We had a handicap accessible bathroom added for Ron and while it was wonderful for him, I never realized how wonderful it would be for me now that I am facing a hip replacement. You are doing a very necessary thing and you will be happy with the changes. As far as the workers, keep wishing hemorrhoids for them because they can be a bane to our existence.

Permanently.<br />You are right, MS does affect different people in different ways. And affects the same person in different ways at different times - which is one of the reasons I believe that a definitive cause is needed before any cure can be found.<br />My brother is one of perhaps a 1000 who look likely to lose their homes in my state.

Although a bit of an up heaven, it will be good to have your bathroom that makes life a bit easier for. Now I am stunned that your broths home will have to be demolished without knowing and the ins and outs of the situation. Now you worrying will not be good for you. YOU have no control of that situation. I have a couple of friends with MS and it seems to affect individuals differently.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-49562558386570808642014-10-12T11:55:32.536+11:002014-10-12T11:55:32.536+11:00Teresa: Thank you so much.

That is so awful. My husbands mom had that disease. I will miss you if you aren't here. But I do understand that it is hard for you. BIG HUGS! How is SP doing? I hope things work out for your brother and sister-in-law. Hope it gets better soon. But I guess important things never go fast. I didn't see this post until today. Please take care of yourself.

My recent ear infection which causes giddiness is still with me as i write. it manifests itself when i arise from sleep or sitting for lengthy periods, I was ok until a half hour ago I got out of the shower; (water in my ears) now I will be off to bed, the safest option, however, I do feel so much better when I read of your multiple afflictions which make me feel I should not be complaining.. In your case I hope everything turns out for the better.... Best wishes .
