I think about my M.S. every day. Now that my husband is retired, I think about it much more. He's very active, gets up early, and starts working on home improvements, our financial stuff, our garden – you name it.

I need more sleep

I am woken up early, too, mainly because when he goes in for a he wakes up our dog who can't wait to see me. I can get up early. Given the circumstances, I don't really have a choice. My dog is overjoyed to see me, even if I'm grumpy because I need more sleep. Then there is coffee and reading the news, and other arrivals.

I feel like a giant couch potato

While I'm spending several hours just sitting on the couch my husband is a whirling dervish and I feel like a giant couch potato. The truth is I can make it through about half of a day. I choose the later half so that I can make dinner. When my husband was at work, I could just relax when I needed to. Even just too much conversation wears me out.
