Old DRAMA, New TOWN....

Hmmm, well lets see... To start, I'm outta KY! Michigan is really amazing so far I'm in love with the water! Sometimes, sure I miss my family but I have to do this "being on my own" thing because I can't depend on my family forever. Joseph is growing up, LOL!
Now for details... I got up here and pulled an old Joseph thing and fell for someone... He was great (or so it seemed) we have a lot in common, he is hott, and I really felt comfortable around him... We didn't mess around and for once that was alright. I was simply enjoying time... He told me about his troubled past and I understood we would take it slow... He mentioned to me that his friends were trying to set him up with this kid, and he was going with them to the pond... (flag one should have been here) Over the next couple days he got distant and when he messaged again he was different. So we talked and come to find out he said he had feelings for this boy... (yay, life is fun) He told me that clearly I was the smarter, safer, and more comfortable choice (I shouldn't be a "choice" I should be an everything). Yesterday he messaged me saying he and this boy were gonna try things out (insert psycho snap here). After all this they both decide to invite me over to hang today... (didn't go) So yesterday was Douchebag Day!
Oh, and on a new note my g-ma texted today telling me that Baby (my mom's pet dog/daughter and my little sister of 17 years) is not doing well! My mom is so troubled by it that she had to see her doctor on her lunch today... I want that dog to live forever... My mom will lose it totally!
More to come soon... Oh and even though you won't see this thank you Corey for helping me smile over the last two days! The biggest thanks as always goes to my BFF Kristal! Love you girl, thanks for keeping my crazy ass in check!

Mom's Latest Dr. Visit....

I called mom today to see what her doctor said at her appointment in Nashville. I thought she went to see her MS doctor but instead it was with her maxo-facial surgeon or something like that. She goes to him now to work out the issues with her TMJ....
Apparently she was told yesterday that she has to have braces put on her teeth to help re-adjust her jaws. Those will stay on and be adjusted monthly for about 12 months. Following that will be a surgery to aid the jaw repair. Then braces again for several more months. All in all the doctor said the process would take about 24 months.
Mom had good spirits about this news she was joking about how the doctor said that she had elongated jaws and a big chin (and if that leads anyone to get visions of some deformity just scroll down and look at my mom's pic in an earlier post, she is the most beautiful woman I know)! LOL, she said that she called my grandparents after the appointment to thank them for having genes that didn't mix well. She is silly!

Oh yeah, she also invited me to go Sunday to watch the new Shrek movie. I do love a good 3D movie!

National MS Society

This is the website that helped me a lot on learning about my mother's condition. I just thought that I would post it in case anybody was curious or wanted to help support the MS Society.

http://www.nationalmssociety.org/

The National MS Society is a collective of passionate individuals who want to do something about MS now—to move together toward a world free of multiple sclerosis. MS stops people from moving. We exist to make sure it doesn't.
We help each person address the challenges of living with MS through our 50-state network of chapters. The Society helps people affected by MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, and providing programs and services that help people with MS and their families move their lives forward.

Greatest Mother!

Well, here goes my first blog post on here...

To start I have to say that I have the greatest mother on the planet! She has always made sure that I have had everything that I've ever needed and usually what I wanted. We have always been very close, I mean granted there was a time after I came out that she was more distant. Although, over the past 2 years we have gotten so much closer than maybe we have ever been in the past. She has really started taking an interest in my life again and even inquired about and invited my now ex-boyfriend to family functions (even buying gifts for him). Anyway, here goes the reason for my posting...
My mother has recently been diagnosed with MS. It has been so scary and wearing to think of my forever brilliant, beautiful, and independant mother being so weakened by this condition. She has apparently had it for a few years now but her doctors kept mis-diagnosing it. Passing it off as nothing more than migraines brought on by stress mixed with her TMJ and blood-sugar issues. (there were issues with the medication she was on for the migraines but thats for another day) Finally after she had been rushed to the hospital several times for stroke-like symptoms they sent her to a specialist in Nashville, TN. Once there she was diagnosed with MS. Since it had went so long she had developed lesions on her brain and lost a small portion of the strength on her left side. In order to repair this they put her on a weeks worth of daily IV treatments. These were supposed to last her until her appointment in August, but they have worn off and for the past several days she has once again been weak and tired. To the point where she has been having mild episodes again.
As of right now my mother and step-father are in a hotel in Nashville, TN waiting for her newly rescheduled appointment that is tomorrow morning at 10:30. Even once they get her leveled out with her treatment and everything she will still never be able to just be on some daily pill. They have informed her that she will need to be on daily in-home injections to keep it in check.
How is all this fair? Life sometimes kicks you so hard that you just find yourself wondering why? I realize that no matter how this affects me, its so much worse for my mother and I hurt for her everyday. She has always been the strongest person that I know, and now to think that she is so fragile and isn't the invincible wonder woman that I have always seen her as... Of course life doesn't throw just one curve ball at a time, so I see more posts very soon! Stay tuned...
