Hey.......did you notice Gail. We are both leaning our chin's on our hands in our profile pic. Great minds think alike!!!
By the way, your cakes are beautiful. You are very talented.
Well, I haven't let anyone take my pic for years. I guess I should get past the wrinkles and just do it. In all honesty, Gail, I thought that from your pic, you must have been in your early 30s, so when you said 60s, I just couldn't believe how good you looked at 60.

Hey Gail
I just retired from doing homecare, 20 yrs., in the community. I worked with a lot of MS clients. I only kept one friend from my clients, and she has MS. Before I retired, I was with her twice a day, 5 x's a week. When I started taking care of her, she could walk, but sadly she is now in a electric wheelchair. I recognized the typing cause that is how she types too. Unfortunately, she has a virulent type of MS.
How do you find decorating with your hands?

You should look into vitamin D. New research shows high doses help. Seems countries closer to the equator, Hot countries, ie: India for example, have very small % of the population with MS. Colder climates, much higher rate. They think the warmth/sunshine has something to do with it. Vit D is the "sunshine" vitamin.
Also excercise & weights are so important for the muscles. Keeping them strong. You can't control nerve damage that has already occured, muscles will be affected there, but strength training with weights & excercise really helps keep what you have. And massage therapy, if you can afford that Gail, it really does help.
