Camping was great!

Sleeping sure wasn't! This weekend my hubby and I decided to get away for a relaxing weekend off the grid. We found the perfect spot, set up our tent, enjoyed a meal made outdoors, and were ready to turn in for a solid night of sleep. MS had a different idea.

This meme seems to sum it up perfectly:

Normally my MS is really mild. A fatigued day here or there, but I'm able to push through, still get to the gym, and bounce back the next day. Last night was something new.

As we lay, tucked in our sleeping bag on a deluxe air mattress, MS decided to foil our plans. I don't know if it was the air mattress that exacerbated the symptoms, but it was a wild night. Between spasms in my elbow and spasms in my butt cheek, there was little sleeping and lots of tossing and turning.

Tonight's a new night, but my hubby deserves a huge shout out of appreciation! Did he get frustrated? No. Did he kick me out of the tent and into the truck? No. Did he simply help me get as comfortable as possible? Yup! And even woke up with a smile on his face, despite our little amount of sleep.

MS didn't win - I think we did!
