in response to CATLUV... Hi, Cat:)
Sorry for my slow-absent returns; my computer died and that puts a huge kink in my daily process trying to keep things together the best that I can. I found a good PC on ebay, so now I can send my late returns to you.
Yes, I do deal with MS alone. I have 3 adorable cats: Can-Can Canada, Keepurr,and Holiday, that share my tiny space in a one room cabin along the Rainyriver, here at International Falls, Minnesota. I moved to the Falls in 2008 on the hunch that I could spare myself a great amount of misery if I could be in a cooler environment longer in the year.
I actually closed my eyes, dropped my finger, and when I lifted my finger, there was International Falls, Minnesota. I have no family, no friends, no anything to be familiar with at the Falls other than my belief that it being on the border with Canada, I should find a longer-cooler environment.
International Falls turns out to be the coldest city in the nation, even colder than Alaska, which was a pleasant discovery I found out from the local peoples. My first winter,
the Falls broke the record to score a chilly minus-46 degrees below zero. WoW! I bundled everything I had to stay warm, went outside and took a walk & dance with my cane. It was thrilling for me to test my theory about my MS!
After 3 winters with the next one being 4 in October, my MS shows no signs in the sub-zero conditions which is the only relief I have in the year. It's an absolute blessing that I cherish everyday I look out my back window and see the beautiful Rainyriver and Canada on the other-side:)
Cat, I appreciate you very much for asking about my MS, it shows that you are a very caring person that relates to other people in very interesting ways. You've given my life a pure Blessing to know that someone cares and now you know that I care about you too:)
I bid you a beautiful day filled with unexpected treasures of warmth, splendor, and surprising best wishes from the people you meet along your day.
