It’s been a minute, here’s a quick life update for those who might still look at this...
1. I have moved back home. No that doesn’t mean back into my parents house, for the 3rd time. But I moved back to Prince George. Moved in May 2020. It’s been great, was missing my friends and the northern community. I am loving less people, the easy accessibility to getting outside. Taking Tucker (my puppy) to the river.
2. I still work in the ER. Still love my job, most days. It’s certainly emotionally and physically exhausting a lot of the time. But I can’t imagine doing anything else for work right now.
3. I have a puppy, 10month old Springer Spaniel and he’s a doll. So well behaved, I feel like I can only take partial credit for... I just lucked out.
4. I still have MS. Shocker, I know. No miracles here. I go down to Vancouver every 6 months for bloodwork and then two weeks after that I get my medications. Overall my MS has stabilized, I fluctuate every 4.5 months when my medications wear off, but I think that will be my forever normal. I function at about 80% of normal for 4.5 months and then the last 1.5 months before my meds my energy levels drop from about 40-60%. Which is hard, but it’s not 12 months so I’m thankful for that.
Coming this September I’ll have been diagnosed with MS for 8 years. Kind of crazy to think it has been that long. Lots of life has happened between then and now. I’m definitely a very different person than I have Sept 5, 2015. Learned a lot about myself, who I am, who I want to be.
5. Still single... shocker I know. But I’ve got Tuck, that’s all I need right? And he thinks I’m the best— granted, that’s Probably just because I feed him, most days. They say it’ll happen when it happens, I’m getting less hopeful with each passing year.
Right now I can’t say my life is overly interesting, no huge life changing/altering things, which I am very much okay with.
