Gabes, How can I say this? While being made redundant and having to move AGAIN is stressful and tiring, it has given your brother the chance to step up to the plate and show you that he loves you and wants to help. You said the universe had your back. I think it probably has here too.
Hoping that the move will move you closer to peace and harmony with your family, and help you get control of this illness.

Coco, Nancy, Jeane, Jennifer, Monique, Lori, Martha, Nancy, DJ, Sheila, Rich, Sunny, Lesley,

THANK YOU for the words and hugs (i can feel it over here on the other side of the globe)

You have reminded me to have faith in my family.
(as a former fiercely independent, perfectionist, over organiser, this is a new concept for me!)

Jennifer, I hope the timeline history has not scared you.
The reality for some is that living with mc can mean months even years of niggly symptoms (not just MC related conditions)
It is important to have realistic expectations of yourself, and what you define/classify as remission/normal.

Progress.... not perfection

Quiet day ahead.. it will get to about 88 F here...

Best wishes to you Gabes. I think of you often and your positive outlook on the many curve balls life throws at us. You are an inspiration and I hope your move goes well and the transition is smooth. Your family is lucky to be getting you back.

Gabes,

I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't yet posted in this thread. It's not because I don't support you 100 %, (you know I do). It's because I'm so frustrated that you're having to go through this once again, that I could spit nails.

I'm amazed at your resiliency. You never seem to let adversity control your thoughts. When confronted with yet another challenge, you never fall into that deer-in-the-headlights state of paralysis that's so common for most of us. Instead, you immediately begin making plans to overcome it and get past it. Though it may not seem so at times, you are truly in control of your destiny, and you are one of the most logical, perceptive, and innovative people I have ever known. And when I grow up, I definitely want to be just like you.
