I am doing my taxes.  The act of doing them is very boring.  So why write about it?

Because I am very clear about what needs to be done.  What resources need to be tapped for information.

Thank you CCSVI.

The work would have been better had our older desktop not suddenly died.  But it adds challenges of needing to refill numbers.  The simple reinforcement of being normal is fantastic. 

Skipping to another thought.  Our home looks out onto water.  The relaxation one feels from water is incredible.  The human body and the planet earth are both 2/3 water.  Pools offer the best physical therapy.  Make sure the weather and water are not too hot.  As I sit outside I watch the fountain spew water.  More soothing sounds.

Do not be impressed with being next to water.  The pond is where rainwater collects from our area, and then it drains out to the lake, one of the largest inland lakes in the United States.  Plus, a road on other side reminds us that progress will never stop.  What were undeveloped trees 20 years ago is now subdivision after subdivision.

I have a goal for CCSVI and all other MS treatments: normalcy.  The goal is moving memories.  Some days I feel closer than others, but I am feeling better and stronger.

The only sounds I hear are from wind chimes, fountains spouting water and the occasional car. Dogs bark and birds chirp.  And an occasional horn honk interrupts the peace.

The moments of life I have written about here are priceless.  I walked outside. I sat down.  No walker or cane.  My son did bring the laptop out for me, but I could have carried it. 

Taxes are so complicated.  The updates are consent.  You need to be correct every time.  But the simple reality of a spring day is wonderful.

CCSVI did not make the spring day.  But the procedure made it better because I just walked out and did not use a wheelchair.  That is a blessing.  We are lucky to be living in a day where CCSVI is available to help us.  The shame of the situation is how few can get the procedure after disagreement between different groups in Multiple Sclerosis.

We are getting better and I pray every day get us closer to a cure.   CCSVI if the first treatment that leads to improvement.  We will get better.

Doing the complicated or simple, the best feeling in the world is the freedom to make the choice.   Patient decision, not a doctor allowing an action.   We just want to be free.

Thank you for reading.

Power to the people.

Power to the cure.

God bless and get better everyone.
