Regrets, I cannot say I have many.

As you know from earlier posts I have a lot of time to think. Sometimes I think of regrets and I don't have a lot of them. I can't think of many or any for that matter since I've been married. Fortunately I can say that I'm one of the people that have never cheated on their wives. I'm not sure how many people are of faith are not but I am glad that I am one of them. I have had flirtations over the course of years (my dad took me on sales calls in the summer to grocery stores. He taught me how to flirt with the cashiers) but has never ended with a regretful situation. I'm not sure if I should list my regrets but I have a few when I was younger and stupider. Mark Twain said when I was 14 I dad was stupid and he just kept getting dumber as I grew older. Now I am 21 and think my dad knows a lot. The old man sure has learned a lot in seven years. Paraphrased.
My and all regrets are how I have dealt with my MS. I never imagined it could advance this fast or far. I had never read on the Internet but anyone with a similar pathway with MS. I spent a lot of money trying to adapt my environment to this disease. I thought we would be able to stay in our two-story house, I retired at 67. Also when I was 50 I was in good health and felt that my health based on history would be good until my 70s. All of my grandparents passed away their 70s and I was under the impression that my course would be similar. That thinking went down the crapper when I got this disease. There are no rules with this disease. The only thing I can say is that annoying cliché "it is what it is".
I either have too much to say on my posts were not very much. I'm going to make this one short. Have developed pain in my right lower lip that I attributed to trigeminal neuralgia. Now I'm not sure. We increased my medication and the new pain is the same. I've never had pain that was in down at the bottom have my mandible for whatever that's called. This is not much higher and is not as severe and is not going away. I've no idea how I deal with it. When I get a rollover to get dressed in my face presses on the pillow the pain somewhat tolerable. That is one reason I don't think it trigeminal. We don't see the neurologist who did the procedure until late December. It would be no surprise to you that I am very tired of going to doctors. Every one of them listens differently. Some already think they have you diagnosed and they tend not to listen very well. My primary care physician is always been great but now he is becoming more of an administrator so we don't see him much. Wound care doctor has been fantastic. He listens and what to ask questions she gives me an exact answer. Well I'm tired of fighting my computer and the pain in my lip makes talking more difficult. Take care again dearest reader.
