One Flu at a time

So it seems I was recuperating from a cold, when next thing you know.....the dreaded....the feared.....the loathsome.....the grotesque stomach flu decides to throw it's two cents in. So now my cold is worsening and my body is very angry. I got past the stomach part yesterday, but for the life of me can't seem to stand up right for more than a few seconds without feeling like the lights are dimming. UGHHHH!!!
I am curious to know if it's the MS or just me, I can't seem to recall anymore. Whenever I get sick, virus or bacteria, it takes me forever to recover. I get really weak. I have been in bed for two days, today I spent it on the couch. I am slightly upright at this moment, but not quite.
Today I fell. Falling is not fun. You should have seen how super fast my hubby was. He was like Flash Lightening jumping out of bed to catch me. He's my greatest american hero (swoon and sway).

MIA

Haven't posted in a few weeks. Been in a slump. Got some kind of cold or virus or something that has made all my symptoms go wacko. UGHHHH!!! I was doing so well, got up to 9 minutes on the exercise bike at 4 resistance level and then doing a couple minutes on the elliptical, but now I am back at square one. My legs are like jello again, especially my left. The world is topsy-turvy once more. I have news for you, weebles wooble and they DO fall down.

What's a girl to do????? Back at square one, well probably a few steps ahead of that. I am going to begin again once I recover a little bit more.

This is going to be a short post. My focus is not quite good right now. So as Tigger says from Winnie the Pooh, Ta-ta for now.
