Two days after my training walk, I am presently well medicated but feeling physically and mentally fatigued. I won't do any more training at this level as I need to preserve all my strength for the day. I'll be baking 'special' cookies for the race that I will take every 30 minutes to keep the worst of the symptoms at bay. However, by mile 10, I'll feel as if I'm walking in a pair of flooded fishing waders. My legs will feel as if they weigh 2-3 times as much as normal and hopefully the cookies will help.
I've wanted to do a lot more blog writing but the lack of energy and preserving what little I have has restricted me. I apologise to anyone who wants to know more but this is MS. It steals your life from you in a variety of tortuous ways but not having the strength to express yourself is one of the worst. It's way up there with bladder control, enjoying sex and tasting food. I am now well medicated so will do my best to keep you all informed of highlights. My costume will be ready this week.  Here's the link to the pictures again. http://web.mac.com/isarah2/iWeb/Site/GNR%20Costume.html I'll be joined in the GNR by a double amputee and have managed to amass support from the various Cannabis factions. Some have offered to line the route and hand out leaflets to those openly supporting me. I personally hope to carry copies of The Fight To Be Well, a documentary about the suffering of medicinal users. I'll hand these out to interested supporters who show they care enough to help. Any additional and dignified support will always be more than welcome! xxx |
