Hey all,
For those of you that have followed any of my postings, or ramblings I should say, I wanted to tell you what I did last night. (dont have diagnosed for anyone doesnt know me)
It is not a big deal to some but I was able to cook dinner and hold Grace! NOt for long or the whole time. WHen my first son Jack was born (almost 7 yrs ago) I would cook an entire dinner and hold him while doing! (after the chopping and prep was done) I just love holding my babies and cooking...I dont know why? it is strange.
ANYWAY, I made rice and veggies last night and held Grace the whole time! I was sooo HAPPY, and mind you she is a chunky 10 month old, infact she is huge! I could not stop smiling and called my hubby to tell him. I had to switch arms off and on, but this was huge for me! Alot of people say, dont hold her as much and your arms wont be sore. Well, that is not an option for me, I want to hold her as much as I can, with this mystery illness, I dont how long I can.
I am just living in this moment! I want to point out that there are alot of things that are worse for me, like my legs and feet that hurt after anytime walking. BUT I am focusing on this right know, cooking and holding baby and I even had a glass of wine too. I did not break the glass either! I have broke 2 glasses and a beer bottle becasue I put things down so hard latley. It is strange and I dont know why, even my sister's said that i have been using my fork really loudly? ever hear of this with MND? ok,ok,ok...pull it in, I said that I was only going to post something happy that I did and I am already asking questions.....
anyway, just thought I would share.
Peace,
april
