Hello lab rats, I was hospitalized for a few days last week, but I’m back home and continuing to recover. I am gradually feeling better, and I hope to get back to Power Hour and other work in the next few weeks. How are y’all??

Hi all, I’m having an MS relapse, so I’m going to get steroids each morning for the next three days, which should help a lot! I say this because I will very likely be hit-or-miss on Power Hours. When I hop on, I’ll post on here so y’all can join!

I'm having a lame-o MS flare, but I hopped on Power Hour today anyway. Sometimes productivity is about "traditional" work, but for me, a lot of times it's about taking my meds, making my body as comfortable as it can get, and expressing myself. Yes, "put on socks" is on my list of to-dos. Why? Because if nobody's watching me, I will often just sit there with cold feet and be miserable! Same with pain meds. You read that right -- sometimes the effort of getting up and taking a pill seems too daunting, even though I'm hurting badly! Power Hour helps because when someone witnesses me promise to do a thing, I'm so much more likely to get it done. Peer pressure CAN be used for good, and today it was. So thank you @John McKellar for being with me today so I could put socks on and take my meds. I feel better now.
