MS – some recent musings

Recently there was a post on Facebook with a video asking a number of people about their MS. 1st they were asked "what would you tell MS if you could". I have to say the answers were pretty silly and no one was a quadriplegic I guy have become so I thought the answers were not very realistic. Then they asked if you could take a break from MS what would you do. That got me thinking. Course I never get a break from MS I did and could use all of my appendages I think I would get a 6 foot leash and drained Atlas on how to heel. And I would take him for walks around the neighborhood and go down to the creek and let him play in the water.
There was also a poster last week that would dealing with loneliness that goes with MS. I would have to say really don't get very lonely I do miss being around many people especially miss going to the coffee shop. While I don't really get lonely a.m. getting very bored. I have been off work for almost 4 years and I read a lot but not much else to do. Catching up on Facebook is interesting but my days get kind of long sometimes. Some afternoon's I just lean back close my eyes and I wake up an hour later. I find if I take less than an hour nap I get so go to sleep at night. I take much over that I'm awake until 3 or 4 and sometimes I never go to sleep until my wife leave for work and gives me my morning pills. They gabapentin I take for my neuralgia makes me sleepy so I go to sleep fairly easily after I get those pills. The bad thing with that is I have strange dreams and sometimes I am stuck in them and my wife come to get me up. Last week I didn't remember very many of them so it was kind of a good week in that regard. Today I didn't get stuck in a dream state and don't even remember so that is good.
Atlas bark at something about 15 mins before my wife was supposed to come. That he came back and got up on the bed with me and barked a few times. I'm not sure if he came back to protect me or be thought I would protect him. Maybe he asserted the joke about the 2 guys in the woods talking about what to do a bear attacked. One guy says I would just start running in the other guy says you can't out run a bear. Then he says I don't have to out run the bear know the opt out run you!
