Round 2 post
I say round 2 because I think my visit might be more than just a check up on the stents on my right side (my only ones). I will be greatly dissapointed if he says "everything looks great! We're not going back in". I don't imagine that will be the case, but here is the thread where I am going to post what he does decide to do with me next week. I hope more intervention is required. I know I carry on about being OK with it just leaving me as is, and I really am when the alternative is to keep getting worse. However, any uptick in my functioning will be more welcome than winning the lottery. If it could just get me back to an EDSS of 3. I was still able to go places and do things socially at that level and I'd love to at least get that part of my life back. Either that or some better bladder functioning. Those two just don't seem inexorably intertwined on the surface. But when all I had was the bladder and the legs were still strong, I could walk, or even jog, to the restroom many, many times and could still attend sporting events, festivals and all the type of stuff we used to do; I'd just be in the BR all the time, but I could still GO. When both are shot, I've got one good trip and then no more walking very well. So I'm a liar if I say "I don't care if nothing comes back". I DO care and I want it more than anything, but not progressing is a close #2. I guess it's the old hope for the best and prepare for the worse, with the best being some regaining of function.
So I'm sure I'lll be on here before I leave early morning Monday, but I wanted to just set this thread up since I was thinking about it.
Pray for me, wish me luck, whatever your bag is. Let's hope here's one for the progressives.

Hang them Back Up! and be proud that you earned those trophies. I know how you must feel. I have boxes of trophies from Hang gliding, Sailing, Motocross. Never displayed them before, but now thinking of displaying a few just to remind me of how good life is. Next trophy, MS cured. Hang in there. Cheers, Mark This is a reply to your other post but thought it would be better here to remind you! You are still GREAT!!!

I'm not offering medical advice, I am just a patient too! Talk to your doctor about what is best for you...
