Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi Bill, I'm glad they like my webpage! I've been so busy getting ready for school it's been sick. So I took today off because I don't officially have to report until Wednesday. I was dxed right before I graduated from college so I've never known teaching without MS. It's actually kept me from being complacent, I have to anticipate everything I do and the children are more than happy to help. Most of them know anyway and are used to me weaving and needing to sit on occasion. I just have to watch the fatigue but it doesn't look any worse than other teachers at the end of the day (they go home for naps too!). I read somewhere about the poor working conditions that schools give teachers in that we work with no air conditioning, school politics, outbreaks of mice, cockroach and ant infestations (not to mention lice) and bouts of every contagious sickness a child can have and give so generously. Yet my colleagues and I go back every year. It's what I love to do. I get concerned every relapse about more disability but so far I've come out o.k. I'm grateful for every school year I have. Ha! this kind of looks like me walking! Amy Hi Amy we had a birthday party for my son on Saturday and my wife sister and her husband Bill were here and I told her you were a teacher new to the group with MS and I also showed her your web page and she liked it. She told me it must be rough to teach with your health condition. I told her believe me it is. MS treats us all differently and some do better with it than others.BillJrMustangArtTchraol wrote: Sharon and all, I had to make this web page for the final project in my grad class.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Your walking happy face is still faster than I using my walker sad to say. I was wondering I have terrible short term memory in fact when I was being diagnosed I had mention to my neurologist my Memory is very good any more. When I told him that he had me do a MRI. I was wondering do you have short term memory trouble like I do? If so does that effect your teaching any? I know there are several teachers in the group and this question is for you also.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Oh sure, when I was an intern teacher and newly dxed I met a high school spanish teacher who had MS. She showed me several organizational tips to keep on top of the memory thing. I make lists of everything from supplies needed to questions I have that need answers. For a while there I was on Reminyl which is an Alzhiemers drug but I found that so depressing I went off of it. As long as I get plenty of rest and keep myself organized I can handle it. I actually surprise myself sometimes because I'm doing it so well that it appears I have a better memory than others! (If only they knew.)

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I had forgotten I had that photo in my collection. My wife Judy started her new job on Thursday and when she put out applications she got a call from one of them on Thursday also. That job is what she needs it matches all of her qualifications. It is also a team leader position. I just got an email from that company wanting Judy to call for her interview. I am very happy and I hope she ends up with the job. The company she just quit is being rotten to all the workers there. Judy said people were quitting left and right and when they quit the positions weren't being re filled She did not like that and questioned what was going on. She has a feeling they may shut down soon.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My boss found out right after I started teaching when I fell hanging things in my room. Other teachers knew before that because they would see me walking funny and I'd tell them. The students know too because I tell them I'll be gone for Solu-medrol drips etc. Since students know parents do as well. All are extremely supportive and I couldn't ask for better. It was a big relief too because I did worry about it at first and wouldn't tell anyone but now I'm an open book about my MS (you get that way around kids who never stop asking questions!) I do have insurance through the school. It's kind of embarrassing to talk about it because so many of you are having problems with Medicare which I was on between college and my job and it wasn't fun. But I have really good insurance. I pay $5 for co-pays and scripts and all of my tests, aka MRIs, and Drips are completely covered. After being on Medicare and knowing all the hell the state put me through my mother cried when she saw my insurance. I get an option to get disability every Fall so if I ever feel my MS is getting to a bad point I'll opt in. In the meantime I think I get a token $5000 short-term. Seriously though it would take a catastrophic health change for me to give up my career. I'll have them wheel me in on a stretcher! Just kidding, it's been a good life so far and I'm grateful. Amy That is always great when you can get with someone in the same field you are in to give you a few pointer's. I couldn't remember does your employer know you have MS and do they work well with you? Do you have insurance through the school and do they offer both short and long term disability with it as well. I was glad my company offered to me. I laughed at the other guys when I signed up for it. I told them I rarely get sick and probably would never need it. I was flat wrong and buying it was the best decision I had ever made. I am still on their long term disability and get a monthly check along with my Social Security.BillJrMustangArtTchr@... wrote: Oh sure, when I was an intern teacher and newly dxed I met a high school spanish teacher who had MS.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 When I got hired two years ago, my principal had MS too. It was great to have a boss that shared some of the same symptoms and issues that I do. She unfortunately progressed and quit after that first year. A friend of mine teaches at an Intermediate school where three teachers have MS. Their principal keeps a couch in the lounge in case they get exhausted and need to lie down in between classes. The short term memory thing keeps us all busy with post-it notes. They are the greatest invention ever.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Connie I wonder what the odds are of having that many people you work that have MS? My wife was telling me about a person she heard about that came up with a good idea when he went to a pro football game. He wanted some sun glasses but none were his heads size so he invented sun glasses to fit larger heads. He sold his idea and Judy said he was given a contract for 500 million dollars. The name for his glasses is called fat heads. My wife laughed and wonders what crazy idea she could come up with. Bill connie buran wrote: > > When I got hired two years ago, my principal had MS too.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Bill, I read somewhere that MS is very prevelant among teachers. Maybe because they are usually women and many are in their 20’s and 30’s. I love the fathead idea!! I agree with Judy—I want a 500 million dollar idea!! Are you tuning into the next Survivor? It is already controversial. Very politically non-correct to divide the tribes by race.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I was diagnosed in 1993 when I went for a job drug screening. I didn't take it seriously and ended up in the hospital for 4 day's. My doc at that time was trying to figure if I was a type 1 or 2. I do well with my diabetes but never have had that kind of trouble that your daughter is having. I hope she will be fine. If you would let me know if she gets it figured out OK. I don't have any trouble with my diabetes right now. My doc had me do a blood draw for her last week and she said I was doing great. Bill Trimm wrote: > When were you diagnosed?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I agree, if the different races had a problem with it, I don’t think it would have gotten approved. I heard an interview from Jeff Probst, and he said some people might try and make a big deal about it, but everyone will have their favorites by personality regardless of their ethnic background. And eventually they will merge. I’m looking forward to it as usual. The Cook Islands will be another interesting place to see. I hope Judy gets her new job too.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 We moved to this town in 1993 and shortly after we moved here the company I had worked for 13 years gave everyone a 3 day notice and shut down. Their were a few that had taken their vacations that week and they had no idea Manutek was shutting down. At that time I figured that might be a good thing for me since we just moved here since it would force me to look for a job here. The bad thing jobs for my skill (electronic tech) weren't available. I was unemployed most of that summer. I ended up going back Indianapolis to put in applications. I did find another job easily. I ended up having to drive 55 miles one way to work. I just always figured I spent good money for my electronic training so driving 50 miles was worth it. I know I would rather be happy with what I do in life than to walk across the street to work and always hating that job. I do genealogy as a hobby and here are a few old photo's in my collections . These are both Judy's relatives. Blevin Photo, Murray Brother's. Can you all smile? Bill Jackie Hanan wrote: I agree, if the different races had a problem with it, I don’t think it would have gotten approved. I heard an interview from Jeff Probst, and he said some people might try and make a big deal about it, but everyone will have their favorites by personality regardless of their ethnic background. And eventually they will merge. I’m looking forward to it as usual. The Cook Islands will be another interesting place to see. I hope Judy gets her new job too. Better to have a job you like going to every day!
