Oh no, look what we do! ;) Kidding, kidding. Interesting study. There's no doubt MS is a family disease and the impact is not just on the MS patient. Good thing to know and remember. "CONCLUSION: Caregivers of patients with MS experience high levels of distress and reduced quality of life. Psychiatric symptoms and cognitive impairment contributed significantly to caregiver distress, over and above the effect of disability due to neurological symptoms."
An accomplishment

I'm not sure I've ever knitted something for me... but here it is! A finished sweater finally! I only started it last October so it feels pretty darn good to be able to put it on while the weather remains cool enough! Okay, now back to hiding out from the rain... it's coming down in buckets today so I'm making soup. Miso Barley Tofu soup. Might be good, might be bad. We'll see ;)
Okay, I'll admit it

I heart Dog the Bounty Hunter . So I looked him up while I was killing time in Honolulu. :) No, I didn't phone him and waste his time. But it would have been cool to see him out and about!
2 1/2 months instead of 7!

I just got called in for my MRI tomorrow morning! Cancellation lists ROCK. This machine will let me listen to music! Yay! I keep hearing about everyone else scattered across this earth who get that as an option. Now... what to bring... Tod thinks I should burn 45 minutes of podcasts. Hmmm...
