Homebound? Seriously??

The home health company stopped by today to admit me to their care and set up nursing and physical therapist visits.  She asked me a bunch of crazy questions, did the vitals thing and gave me a bunch of paperwork. 

Then she tells me, "Since you are homebound, something, something, something."  I didn't hear anything after homebound.  I guess it was just a word game...Technically, I couldn't drive or walk without assistance.  I was stuck at home.  I guess that makes me homebound.  It was just weird to hear it.  But hopefully it was only for a couple of weeks.

The nurse's best friend has MS.  I have friends that have MS and it seems that a lot of people know someone with it.  Which makes it all the more frustrating when no one can predict the course the disease will take.  Everyone seems to start out with a different set of symptoms and there really isn't one treatment course that works.  Everything I read says not to compare yourself with anyone else. 

Leave it to me to get something difficult.
