Many thanks to Paul (Chris, Justin, Renee) and Jon Lovitz!

Today I got a strange message from Jon Lovitz. OMG it is hilarious! I don't know how you did this Paul, but it's so cool and I will treasure it always.

Down in Mexico

Image
My sister  Renee and I left Chicago from O'hare Airport on Sunday, August 29th to travel to Clinica Ruiz in Puebla Mexico. We had a connecting flight in Houston. There was not  much time between flights, and I said to Renee - I hope the other gate is close. She said - It probably isn't. She was right, it was in terminal B and we were in terminal C, but the airport staff were WONDERFUL about getting us on our next flight. It was quite an adventure with the combination of a transport taxi and a staff member pushing me in a wheelchair on and off the train, then all the way onto the tarmac and up a ramp to the door of the small plane that was to take us into Puebla. It was a new experience for me since I have always been able to walk through an airport in the past. But we never would have made our flight if I had to walk that distance. The smaller plane held around 75 people but the flight was smooth and uneventful. When we arrived in Puebla our driver Javier from Clinica Ruiz wa...

On shaky ground

Image
Photo by Scott Johnston, taken on the rooftop the morning of September 7th. Last night there was a 7.0 earthquake just outside of Acapulco. We are staying 5 hours northeast in Puebla, Mexico on the 4th floor of a building built in the 1970's. My sister who has more experience with earthquakes than I, jumped up right away when she felt the smaller preshocks and started yelling it's an earthquake! But I didn't believe her. She ran to the door and was like, we gotta go! But I still didn't believe her, I couldn't feel anything until it really got underway. By the time we were heading down the stairs the entire building was cracking and swaying and it was hard to stay balanced, especially for me, since I can barely keep my balance without an earthquake. Renee was begging me to hurry up because we didn't know if the shaking would continue, and start to break apart the building. I told her to run ahead since I was slow. She ran out of the building and told everyone I w...

The Mexican Method

Image
It's not only the proper method for drinking tequila, the Mexican Method is how Clinica Ruiz treats MS with HSCT. It is based on the method used by Dr. Burt at Northwestern. Image from Clinica Ruiz  I am in Group 2 and there are 4 people in my group. Myself, and 3 women, 2 who have RRMS and one who has chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) which is a disease similar to MS. The only difference is the location of the nerves that are being attacked by the immune system. With MS there is damage to the nerves within the brain and spinal cord. With CIDP the damage is in the peripheral nerves, which means the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. On September 1st, we had several consultations. And I had a consultation with Dr. Ruiz himself! I wish I got a picture, but maybe another day. It was wonderful to meet him. He asked what I thought of the COR and how things were going. I told him I am very impressed with everything. He was intrigued to learn that I have a ve...
