Oh you won't believe it!
WCB is rolling!
They have finally paid my physio and reimbursed me for the cab fares.
I am now going to have wait on their Legal department to pay the remainder for chiro but you know...they have to start somewhere!
I have been feeling so much better. I felt like I was stuck under a bolder from the stress and the worry that WCB was causing.
I have a few small symptoms that like to poke around but I welcome them because they are my small reminder that I need to stop and take a breath.
It's year end at work and things are still busy but that's great too!
Are you looking forward to summer as much as I am? Spring even! I just want to get my hands in the dirt, get flowers and seeds in the dirt and see my bulbs sprout!

So much to do!
It never ceases to surprise me how bad I feel when I don't submit blog entries on a regular basis.
All I can think of is "I really need to find a minute and blog." So here is me making an effort again!
What's been going on...
I have been and still am fighting with WCB. I have ended treatment only because WCB has told me they are done paying. What a great system this is. You are not yet well but we are done helping you... I have still not received any news from them nor have any funds been issued to pay the clinics.
I have been very busy at work doing exactly what I love. I am overly busy doing budget planning, forecasting, and so many other things. This is my niche and I am grateful for doing work that makes me feel happy!
Gracie is growing faster then I ever thought possible. I left for 2 nights for work and when I got back home her sentences were clearer and better put together. She was able to tell me what she did during the day and actually remember without being prompted. She wants to dress herself now, choose her outfits, she is also in love with animals. She loves our cats, the dogs from the daycare and every other type too! We visited Petland this past weekend and she made friends with the floor caretaker. She held bunnies, hamsters, mice, bids, Guinea pigs and was also crazy about the snakes, "dragons" lizards, fish and crabs! So fun to watch her in her element!
With me, I have been actively fighting a relapse. I have been tired, dizzy, sore and just "off" but I am dealing quite well with it.
I have also been chosen as the recipient of an award. The Arthur Smith award is awarded to 5 individuals per year to people who are actively helping the homeless community.
I will be accepting it on the 10th of March for my work on the Christmas Wishlist program. Those who know me know that I do not like to be the center of attention. I do not want recognition however I am happy that the Wishlist is getting the attention. The Clients of the DI deserve the best and will be paying it forward.
I hope to keep my end of the bargain and keep posting blogs on a more regular basis!

P is for pain and parenting
Wow.. I think I am entering the terrible 2's!
I spend most of my days disciplining my big girl. I didn't think she was going to be this difficult!
She must have her mommy's hard head and her daddy's A.D.D.!
I am still trying to get over this car accident stuff.
I have been very tired from Grace but also about worrying about WCB and car insurance and money due to the physicians not to mention remembering where and when I am supposed to be for all the appointments.
#1 rule with MS...moderate the stress.
#1 rule with WCB...Stress the injured as much as possible.
= not a good mix
I have been noticing that my memory has been on the fritz.
If I don't see something written or write it down at that very moment I really can't recall if it was ever said or done.
I have had some pain in my knees again. To describe it would be like running on concrete or pavement for a few hours or even walking in a hot mall for too many hours with your winter coat and carrying all those bags...by the time you get home and sit down there is "that" heavy weight on your knees and legs. That's what it kind of like. I try to put a pillow under my knees but it doesn't help. Shift position...no go either. Then I give up and go to bed.
I lay down, read, fall asleep and wake up a few hours later to pain in a different spot.
The other big thing I have noticed is I am on a short fuse. In June 2009 when I was diagnosed I noticed how easily I would get severely "pissed off". I remember even telling Dr. Yip that "I get so mad at silly things and I just want to kill and scream at whoever is ..."
I can't really put in words why this seems to be a symptom for me but it has been over the last 3 times I had active MS stuff happening. I really must work on this!
I guess I can connect this to a relapse but being me I just keep going. Such small things are not a good reason to stop because then "it" wins.
I have been spending my days trying to get answers from WCB. What people hear about WCB is true. They are making my life so difficult.
The good from today...
Having a nice meal with family and relaxing together.
