Very creative, tons of self confidence and positivity, thought provoking and inspiring love it Alexis. Suddenly out of the blue my foot started going very red went to the doctor, who sent me to a Neurologist, who sent me for an a MRI scan and a spinal tap, result, I had MS in my right foot, i suspected something was wrong because i stared to limp a little. The neurologist put me onto 3 injections a week which does arrest this problem but the red turned to purple........

Oh, no, my friend, I am sorry to hear you are going through this ordeal. I had no idea you were in the hospital. I'm glad to hear the procedure was successful. I hope and pray that the next procedure is as successful. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery, my dear friend. Sending you well wishes from across the pond- Alexis

..... so had to immediately go into hospital on Friday go for an angio plasti, i was scared but things happened so quickly. They had to change my blood flow which was not going to my feet. The procedure was successful but I have to have another one in the other foot in 3 weeks time, as the Vascular Surgeon suspects the same will happen on my other foot., so that is why i have been a little erratic on poetry soup lately my dear friend. love and hugs Jennifer.

I don't think I have done one of these poems. I need to look it up and see how hard it is to do. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go for the contest. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
