Anyway for those who don't know, i was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis back in June 2006, and yep that was a big kick in the guts, as my Mum had it for 17 years and we (the Family) were always under the impression that it wasn't hereditory.
When i was diagnosed i told the Neurologist then, about my Mum and he said that it wasn't hereditory, but was a Gene thing, "WELL HELLO" were does he think we get our Genes from - off the bloody clothesline or just line up down at K-mart and buy from there. Sometimes i wonder what is going thru there minds when they make comments like that.
Anyhow such is life and we move on as best as we can, somedays are good,somedays are tolerable and others especially when its hot (weather wise) its just downright crappy.
Now the hardest things that i have to come to terms with is the fact that i can't do alot of the things that i used to do,but being a stubborn little bugger i will still try and do what i can even though sometimes it takes me longer to do them, as i dont have the luxury of fine motor skills in my hands and fingers, but i muddle thru. And learning how to ask for a bit of help when i need it,at first it was hard especially from a mans perspective as i think pride was getting in the way on some occassions ( like, i can do this ive done it before plenty of times,i will do it again.but to no avail as the fingers or hands just wouldn't do what my mind was wanting them to do.)Anyway enough of this twaddle for know, as i said life sucks but we move on.
Married to Fiona, the love of my life and we have 3 kids ,1 dog, a horse, and some budgies and cockatiel.... Oh and 2 Bearded Dragon Lizards.
Later this year Fiona and i and our youngest son Nathan and Fiona's Mum are going on a trip O/seas to the UK for around 6 weeks, so we are looking forward to that as we have never been O/S before,.... well i suppose technically we have, we went to Tassie back in 2005 i think it was, we flew over a stretch of water (which was the Ocean) so you could say weve been o/seas LOL, but others wouldn't see it like that -small minded little people. Anyway it's my blog i will say what i like.
anyway back on the subject - we are going to Scotland for about 3 weeks as thats were Fiona's rellies are from and there are still some living there, so we will haveour own personnel tour guides which is good and we'll be able to stay at a couple of her Aunties so accommodation for most of the trip is sorted,we will head down to England for a couple of weeks and while we are over that side of the world ,will try and do a Bus tour of Europe seeing as we are not that far from there.
Passports have been organised, and Airfares paid, so really we just need to save for some spending money but hey i'm ready to go now and looking forward to it.
Anyways thats all i have to say at the moment, for my first Blog i have probably ranted and raved and completly not got the point of a blog, but i do my best.
Till next time - the wombat waddles off
Waving
