Your writing pulls your audience into the story -- great stuff!

Happy anniversary next week!

Thank you all for the kind words! I read it aloud to Courtney when she got up today and we both got choked up, never realized blogging could be therapeutic....

Read your blog, great first post. Keep it up, I think it'll be a welcome addition to the "blogosphere" (I hate that word with a passion).

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any advice regarding the whole blogging thing...

loved your story, I'll be following your blog too... it's nice to hear the caregiver's perspective :)

(edited to add-- I love how you titled it Our MS Journey...)

John and Courtney,

Happy Anniversary. You are blessed to have each other.
I am blessed to have such a companion who takes such good care of me; we take care of each other. When I first saw you photograph and saw 'caretaker for my beautiful wife' I called my companion over to the computer and said, Now this young man restores my faith in humanity.
I find my faith in humanity restored every time I get on TIMS.

I enjoyed your blog very much. And I wondered, is Courtney on any special diet, like the Swank or the BBet Diet? I highly recommend Ann Boroch's book 'Healing MS' also. What we can do as we wait for Liberation may help, especially as regards diet, which has made a big difference for me.

I will continue to pop in now and again to your blog. Thanks for being a resource on CCSVI, we need as many as we can get!

<Keep Taking good care of each other,
Zina

Hi Zina,
yes, that is one of Courtney's photos. She hasn't started selling her art photography yet but I'm pushing her to do so, especially as the portrait work gets tougher physically. I need to put her website up there on the blog but here it is: www.fpphotography.com

We did the swank diet for like the first 20 or so months, and still try to do as low sat fats as possible high in omega fatty acids, etc. She supplements according to that diet as well. I'll check out that book, thanks for the recommendation.
-John
