from the start.

Wow, where have I been?

Where to start, where to start. Well, let�s see. Bless me readers. I have been really busy. It has been 12 days since my last entry. Just since we met last;

My great niece (Sister Stella�s granddaughter), Brooklyn was in a car accident. She is an 8 year old pint of peanuts, weighing in at about 40 pounds. Her and her family minus the mom, were all walking across the street. Brooky was last in line but still pretty much with the others when suddenly a car came to the intersection and blew right through she stop sign. She hit Brooklynn, threw her up in the air. Down she came onto the windshield and onto the ground.

The ambulance took her to the hospital and they ran Scans, x-rays, etc. Final results? Scrape on her arm, wrist and back. She went home three hours later. Kids. Gotta love �em.

Son Jeff came down Wednesday and left this morning. Good visit.

Brittni had her 16th birthday party Saturday night. Grampa bought her dress. Pictures when they get developed. She was absolutely gorgeous. Her dress was black and hot pink and came down just above the knees and across the top with NO cleavage. (Thank God!) She was really stunning. It turns out that the High School had their picnic during the day and another Brittney was having her sweet 16 too, but Brittni�s guests came and left ad different times all evening so it never got crowded, but all told, there were about 50 guests. She was happy. Lori and her decorated and Lori cooked wings, speghetti, potato salad and pasta salad for 75. Plenty of left-overs of everything.

I am paying for her second hole in her ears and buying her first diamond earrings (small.) I bought Lori�s first ones when she was 16 and I want to buy all the girls as they turn 16.

I saved the obvious part for last.

Lori does, indeed, have MS. She told her neurologist that she is happy to find out at least it has a name. They did her spinal tap. They gave her 4 shots of anesthetic to numb it. Her doctor told her it may be quite painful, but she said it didn�t hurt. After that, he put the needle in and drew out 4 vials of fluid.

She went home after and spent the afternoon cleaning house so it couldn�t have been too bad for her.

Tomorrow they are sending a nurse to hook her up to an IV of Solu-Medrol (synthetic steroid) that she will have to take for 5 days. I only takes an hour or so each day and then she will have a 6-day taper down of pills and that will be the end of that part. They put her on 300mg of neurontin 3 times a day and she has literature on two different meds to read over. They are injections she will administer herself once a day or every other day depending on which one she chooses. Each one has its own set of possible side effects, none of which are definite. Of course they have to list all possibilities. It is up to her to make the choice of either Capaxone or Beta Seron.

He told Lori that all of his patients could deal with it with the same mindset al Lori that he would be a happy man.

She is totally fine with this so far. Her doctor told her he would like to see her lose 20 pounds. She said, WHAT??? He asked what her weight goal is and she said,

�I don�t have a pounds goal, I have a size goal. He said some of these meds can cause a little fatigue, but from what I can see it won�t be an issue for you. I know you�ll do it.�

Yup, she will be fine. She�s a fighter. She may not have la-the-sage�s cool haircut, but she kicks ass like she does. Yup, that�s my baby.


A man and a woman who had never met before, but were both married to other people found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.

At 1:00 am, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,

'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket - I'm awfully cold.'

'I have a better idea,' she replied.

'Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married.'

'Wow! That's a great idea!' he exclaimed.

'Good,' she replied. 'Get your own damn blanket.'

After a moment of silence, he farted.

Tomorrow or Sunday, I'll do the 10 movie thingy cause I wanna.

Later,
Cosmic
