Although today turned about to be a good day, I didn’t hear what I thought I would when I went for my 2^nd opinion.  The doctor and his intern were absolutely wonderful.  We spent over and hour this morning going over my test results and my sequence of events.  He was so precise and verbalized everything, even his doubts.  End result of the appointment, he is leaning towards agreeing with the MS diagnosis L Bummer; however, although he had the reports from the MRI he has not seen the images.  Before he decides he wants to see where the lesion and spots on my brain are located and if the area they are located in would affect the numbness in my leg.  If that doesn’t line up he may not agree with the diagnosis.  So, there is still a chance that things will go in my favor.

I will admit we had lots of fun during the appointment.  My friend Mary came along; she was great.  She was taking notes and asking questions that really helped me to understand things better.  I can’t thank her enough for being there for me today.

The worst part about the appointment was getting on the scale.  I haven’t been on one in months and months.  I didn’t want to step on it but I had no choice.  I didn’t have to look but I did anyway.  It may have been something I needed to see although it was no surprise.  So my hubby and I had a talked.  I asked him to please help me.  The eating has been much better and Brent is having me work on some fun stuff at home.  I have the tools and support I need I just need to be more committed and consistent than ever.

Well I keep you all posted on the diagnosis once the doctor has all the images and casts his final vote.  Just going to keep on praying and moving forward.  No more looking back, only going forward.
