multiple sclerosis

My father has multiple sclerosis (MS), and it has been slowly degenerating over the last couple of years. He's in hospital right now because it got to the point that he wasn't sufficiently mobile to stay at home. What happens from here is anybody's guess.
My mother has started a blog about multiple sclerosis called Multiple Sclerosis Carer (www.mscarer.com). It's a combination of insights into MS, dealing with someone with MS, and her own life.
There is no cure for this disease. Experts tell us that a cure is not far away, so we remain hopeful.

By the way, I have been neglectful of this blog of late. There are several reasons for this. First, I don't have internet at at home at my current residence. That really blows a hole in daily blogging. Second, my energies have been going into other things such as academic articles and a book.

I may resurrect this soon, particularly as I am in the late stages of finishing my largest writing project ever. I will also be soon getting internet on at home again!
