Summer School

So I’ve been away from this website for a while again, mainly because I’m in the throes of grad school and a clinical rotation. I’m really beat most of the time and I DO think the unpaid clinical portion could be shorter (it’s for a Master of Social Work program), but all in all I’m enjoying the content: HELPING OTHERS.

I’ve also been working for about a year with a senior gentleman. I’m his home companion and I take him shopping, do his laundry, go out to eat with him, and take him to appointments. This has been a wonderful— although tiring— experience and it reinforces my belief that I’m headed in the right direction.

My MS has been relatively stable during all of this, and I’ve been able to do about 25 hours a week of outside work, paid and clinical combined. For this I am grateful. I’m due to see my neurologist again tomorrow, and perhaps get scripts for a new set of MRIs. I did have a slight decline on my brain MRI last year, but I feel this is par for the course given that I’ve had this condition now for about 14 years. I can live with this.

Hope you are stable and enjoying the little miracles that life has to offer!….

 

Best—

Jen
