Ampyra week two

 

     DH is walking better but as a result is pushing himself harder.  It must be a man thing.  Is it?  Can anyone explain to me why he pushes himself beyond his limits all the time?

     Today he mowed the grass.  He uses a riding mower or couldn’t do it.  The mower decided to up the ante on his energy expenditure by getting a flat tire.  I came outside to find him trying to tip the gigantic mower on its side and slide a couple of bricks under it so he could fill the tire.  Whoa, whoa there sir just ask me and I’d be glad to help, which I did.

     Stubborn man.  Heaven knows I love him with all my heart.  However, some days ya just wanna kill them don’t ya gals?  Sorry guys but it is true.  I’m sure you feel the same way about us.

     At least he is walking better and so far, (knock on wood) he has no side effects.  We hope that continues.  I can’t wait to see what his neurologist has to say at his next appointment.

  1. That’s fantastic news! Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that he continues to improve (and takes it easy!!)

    Thanks, I keep hoping.

  2. I am soooo praying this new med gives him the freedom he deserves! What a lousy disease, MS. Sucks major. The other stuff? Yeah, it’s a guy thing — Devoted Spouse is just as stubborn. Thinkin’ of ya sweetie and keeping you & fam in prayers. xo

    Thanks! I figured it was a guy thing. Wouldn’t you know that none of the guy readers bothered to comment…

  3. No hope – it’s a guy thing. Even Boomer my 120 pup whose back legs didn’t work well had the same problem. In the backyard if he had to pee he’d squat like a girl dog, much more comfy. But out in front or on walks he’d stagger across lumpy ground to a tree and then work at figuring out how to balance so he could lift his right leg. He wasn’t taking any chances of anyone seeing him other than as a serious male.

    I am thrilled for your DH – walking better and no side effects – that is tremendous.

    I’m thrilled too although I do wish he’d take it a bit easier instead of pushing to his limits.

  4. Thanks because of this! I’ve been searching all above the web for that facts.

  5. Genuinely definitely very good website article which has got me considering. I never looked at this from your point of view.
