I t...Doug, <BR/>I am having a hard time with this heat. I thought it was hot in Utah when I lived there....but it seems almost more hot here. My main reason for moving was for the support system but everyone said there were more moderate temperatures here. Boy they were wrong....the winter was moderate (I have just as hard of a time with cold weather as I do heat), but the summer...obviously that is a whole other story! <BR/><BR/>I am guessing there is no perfect place to live...maybe San Diego where it is in the 70-80 degree range year round (not to mention a breeze from the ocean)! Then again, I am sure they have problems too! <BR/><BR/>For now I am doing my best to stay inside with the A/C on and when I MUST go outside I am wearing my cooltie on my head (at least it provides some relief)! :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you are doing well. Take care. <BR/><BR/>JaimeJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811736893524707971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23653260.post-1151436421949488642006-06-27T12:27:00.000-07:002006-06-27T12:27:00.000-07:00We are trying....that is what counts! :) You sho...We are trying....that is what counts! :) You should give your parents a break, however.

LOL I ...Suzy, <BR/>Enjoy the cool air while you have it! LOL I don't wish this heat on anyone, especailly not on anyone with MS! :) <BR/><BR/>Nathan is very sweet to mow my parents lawn. He loves being able to go over and help Grandpa. They are best buddies! My dad had a stroke this year and then had to have foot surgery not once, but three times (including this week) and so he is unable to do any kind of yard work (not to mention other health concerns...he is very allergic) so Nathan is more than happy to do it! Plus, he gets paid to do it...and LOVES that! He takes it very seriously..after all it is his first job, lol. <BR/><BR/>Nathan is funny when it comes to my injections. This is the first time that he has voiced how he REALLY feels about it. When I first started taking the Avonex he watned to be trained how to do it and there were even a couple times he asked if he could give me my injection. I think it is because of the side effects from the medication that he doesn't like it, more than the injection itself. But, the whole thing is just one more reminder for him that I am sick and that is hard...so I think it is just best to have to go stay with my parents. At least we can try it and see if it helps. :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you are having a good night! Thanks for all of your continued support and kind words! Take care of yourself. <BR/><BR/>JaimeJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811736893524707971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23653260.post-1151380706707607922006-06-26T20:58:00.000-07:002006-06-26T20:58:00.000-07:00Awww! Oh, how well I know how little guys take to ...Awww! Oh, how well I know how little guys take to this MS stuff. Not easy! My little guy (10 years old) can't even be in the room with me when it's injection time! It totally freaks him out!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that you were able to come up with an alternative plan for him. It's so sweet too that Nathan mows your parents lawn. Do you know how many friends I have that have kids that won't even mow their own lawns? I just don't get that at all! lol (that doesn't happen here at our house! lol)<BR/><BR/>Oh well....I'm wishing you well in all that hot weather. It's unusually cool here right now. It's kind of scary...because it always ends up catching up to us! =o)<BR/><BR/>Hugs!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
