Today was definitely a day of rest for me.  Went to church and that was pretty much the extent of my activity.  It seems that even working the short 8 hour shifts I am doing just takes it all out of me.  I am down to 24 hours a week and just making follow up calls, seems easy enough, but it wipes me out especially if my days aren't spaced out.
I know that some people would have a hard time understanding the degree of exhaustion that some people with MS feel.  It is hard to explain.  I don't wake up exhausted, some days I do, especially after working 3 in a row, but usually it gets more profound as the day goes on.  I can do a few tasks during the beginning of the day and then I have to rest.  As the day progresses,  my legs start feeling heavier and I begin to stumble all over myself and it takes all my energy just to move around.  This has been a constant since April 2009.  Every once in a while it seems I can make a whole day pass and feel like a normal person, but for the most part everyday feels like I ran a million miles by the time night falls.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.          - Jeremiah 17:7
