Doing The Rehabilitation Thing

I'm at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center getting some PT (physical therapy) and some retraining for future employment right now. I'm also trying to get some help with my driving. I haven't driven for three years and I'm not sure If they can help me. At this point I'm not sure If it is even a good idea if I try to drive again. It might not be safe, for me or anyone else on the road at the same time as me. They seam to think they can offer me help but I'm not sure. We shall see.

I am currently looking into getting a new neurologist. I need a specialist. I have done a little research and there are supposedly some drugs and therapies out there that help with my MS symptoms. My current DR. Doesn't seam to know or even be interested in these therapies. So time for a new Dr. I think. I have heard that there are good neurologists in Charlottesville near the Rehabilitation center I am currently at. That is another reason for me to switch drs. I am too far from home to commute to see my current Dr. I really need to stop procrastinating. I should have done this already.

I am a born procrastinator. I have been putting off my application for Medicare and for disability for a long time. Mentally I feel like I am ok but physically I'm not doing so great. I really need disability. I haven't worked in two years

Time to change the subject to something that doesn't depress me. The MS walk.

There is going to be a MS walk in the D.C area soon. I meant to include information about it in this post. I want to participate. There has to be something I could do. I think I could make the walk If I could use a walker. Even if I don't walk I want to do something for the cause.

I'm gone for now. I hope you read here again. Untill then take care.

@#$^ computers!

I have been off-line for a week. The computer I was using wasn't acting right. I was trying to add pictures to my blog and some how I must have downloaded a virus. The problem might have been with the adaware I was using. I was without internet service in any case. That was unfortunate. I am addicted to the internet, so I was sick for days. This is my mothers computer so think I will wait to add the pictures.

Yesterday I was filling out forms for the rehabilitation center I am supposed to be going to on the 24th. They offer computer aided drafting. That seems like something I might be able to be interested in. I was a carpenter before the MS got me. My brother is a licensed real estate agent so the plan was for the two of us to buy old properties. I would fix them up and he would sell them, then we would split the profits. It doesn't look like I will be doing any type of physical work so I guess it's time for a new plan. I'm sure I can make the drafting to come in handy some how. I guess I will find out.

My ex. seems to be giving me less grief. I'm not if it's because of the court date we had, or what. Some times I think ........Forget what I think! I am just too emotional when it comes to her. Yeah I said it! E M O T I O N A L ... Wanna Fight?

I didn't think so. I ain't no sissy.

I think I may have become unhinged for a second. It was just a temporary lapse of my sanity. I feel much better now, thank you. Just don't question my manhood and I will try not to get violent and hide firecrackers in your mailbox, or key your car or something. O.K.?

I might as well do something useful for all of my readers with MS. During my travels in cyber space I have found a really good MS site that offers a lot of MS Information,http://MSworld.org. The site offers message boards as well as chat. I hang out there a lot.

Take care

This Blog Sucks!

I have only been blogging for a short time but this blog SUCKS! I really need to make some changes around here. I have to change the format or somthing. I was just happy to get my thoughts out into cyberspace before but now that I have become a weblog veteran ,(laugh ) I think it is time to do a little more with this blog. I guess I will have to do a little research...........LATTER. Probably much latter. I'm going to have to somthing about my grammer and and english skills too.

I am about to complain so now would be a good time to leave (If you haven't left already).

Yesterday I talked to my ex and I decided to drop the show cause I had on her. We have a court date for Jan. 19, 2005. I hope I am not making a mistake. I am a real fool when it comes too her. She has been violating the court order dealing with my daughter. I have her dead to rights but all it took was one call from her and I change my mind. I guess I still have feelings for her, besides I have health isues that I think take president over any fights I have with her. I get confused. I havn't droped the show cause yet but I will be thinking about it hard.

I am really tired today so I will have too log off. I have a lot of thinking to do. C U..........?
