Yikes, its been six months since my last update! Once again, I've failed in keeping up with the times - there's just not enough minutes in a given day.
It's been six months and I am going strong!! Friends, I am thrilled to report that I have kept up with my life changing diet and have lost nearly 80 pounds! I continue to take my 8 tablespoons of silver each day and I am feeling stronger and moving with a mobility that I haven't done in nearly four years!
You find me in sunny Los Angeles where I've been on a "mini" speaking tour. I spoke in San Jose to a couple of thousand kids at Valley Christian school and for the first time in four years, I stood and delivered the message for 45 minutes without using a chair to sit in!!
We flew out of San Francisco and into Los Angeles and at each airport I walked the entire distance without using a wheelchair!! The strength is returning!! I must confess, the next day I "died" - I was exhausted and the leg muscles were so sore but I bounced back after another good night sleep and am continuing the journey.
We are now in the San Diego area where I spoke for the Southern Pacific chapter of the MS organization women's weekend. What a joy it was to cheer on some hundred plus women who walk with MS. My title was "Beauty and The Beast" and I used the Hollywood movies with their titles of "The Good, The Bad, and Ugly", "Die Hard" and "Alice and Wonderland" along with "Beauty and The Beast" to illustrate our journeys with MS and how we can relate to our daily walk with this disease. The beast can be fought and can be beaten!! We each must take control of our lives and find what works for us!
I am thrilled to say I am returning to my "old self" - no, I am not cured of MS but I am stronger then I have been in five years! I still have many of the MS symptoms that I wrestle with on a daily basis but friends, once again, I am "walking in my shoes"!!
Until the next time, keep searching, keep fighting, keep walking!!
