an "off" day
How do some of you feel when your muscles are out of control? Yesterday and especially today, I am having a rough time. My left leg won't do what I want it to. I look at it shake and try to tell myself that this is stupid and I should be able to control it. I took my meds, but it is just an "off" day. I am becoming exhausted from fighting it, from the shaking, from the contractions of muscles. How do I fight the exhaustion??I am tired. Just plain tired. This is one of those days when I just want to hide. I am even having trouble just sitting here at the computer. Enough complaining, for some time now we have been trying to teach my 2 year old granddaughter to say "grandma". She has always lived with me and calls me "mama". Then this week she asked me where "mommy" was. I now realize that "mama" means "grandma" to her and her mother is "mommy". Live and learn. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds marling@xxxxxxxxxxxx
