Free Raspberries

Luckily my mental faculties haven't been negatively affected and I was able to go back to school and get my Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology.

Leg left behind 😂

Anyone got any tip for a leg that just feels so heavy and when walking it feels like your leaving it behind. It started a couple of days ago. MS nurses now aware and I’m awaiting an MRI.
