The summer seems over
Well folks...Calgary has seen it's first snow fall and being September that sucks!
Thursday was my birthday and I was blessed to have so many people wish me the best. It was the second time in my life that I woke on my birthday to see snow...what a wake up call!
I guess that means summer has said it's goodbye.
I am not sad to see the end of summer.
In our house the month of September marks the beginning of the Christmas season. I know...you are thinking we are nuts! This is where we start to plan for the Christmas Wishlist at the Drop-In Center.
Our hearts have been in this project even since day one five years ago. We plan it, we organise it, we see it through to the end and enjoy all aspects of it.
I will keep you posted over the next few months!
As far as health wise I am doing very well. I have been working out with Mark at least once a week.
On September first Mark's total weight loss for this Fundraiser was 32 pounds. In total he raised over $1,000.00. He is still collecting so it may get higher!
I have never followed my weight but I feel better, my clothes feel more comfortable and an happy with how we are doing.
My MS has been dormant and I am grateful every day!
This past week my eyes have been dry and the muscle in my left eye (the one where I loss my eye sight) has been sensitive when I look to the left. I have been lacking sleep so I have to work on that one!
I hope with the end of summer I will be able to Blog for you more often.
See you soon!

1 year check up late!
Well I just seen Dr. Costello for my 1 year eye recap.
I was supposed to see her in late June but I had to rebook for my trip to Ottawa.
I am no longer a lab-rat! I have graduated and am now free!
Both studies that I joined under her care have now been completed and she is very satisfied.
After 14 months my eye sight has returned to 93%. According to Dr. Costello this is an outstanding result. I was told that I heal amazingly well. In fact...
There are 4 - 6 eye tests that she and her team performed on me over the past year.
Showing me all the results she indicated that without knowing my history or seeing all the test result collaboratively she would not be able to guess where if any damage occurred.
Isn't great!
I will see her again at the MS clinic soon but I am done with the Rockyview Eye Clinic for now!
