Relieved.

We went and saw mom's neurologist today. You can read about it here.

We talked to her about that chances of Ashley and I having MS. There's a 1-3% chance that we could have it. That is a lot less than I thought it was.

She talked to us about preventative measures that we can be taking to improve our overall health and lessen the chances of having MS. She recommended taking 2000 IU's (international units) of Vitamin D a day, and eating well, of course. She said keep an eye out for any symptoms, and if we want to, get screened for MS. Eventually, I think I'll be screened, just so I can either know I have it or have peace of mind knowing I don't. 

Needless to say, I'm relieved. I don't have a perfect peace of mind, but I know I shouldn't worry about things I can't control. So I won't. I'll just live every day the best I can, knowing I'll never have that day ever again. Today is the only August 12, 2011 I'll ever have. Might as well make the best of it!

Oh, I decided that I want to try and put a picture in every one of my posts. So this is a picture of the fortune I got from my favorite Chinese restaurant last week. It says:

"Make serious decisions in the last few days of the month."

What's that supposed to mean? Any ideas?
