Tonight's the Night

Tonight is the night I will receive a proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Allegan, acknowledging that June is National Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month. I couldn't get the biggest local paper to come, but I sent him some informaiton via e-mail, and will follow up with him to get something in the paper.

The Allegan County Press will be there, and it should be in Wednesday's paper, so I'll have to make sure I get one. I think they will just take a picture of me with the proclamation...I don't know if they'll ask questions or anything. I guess we'll see!

I'm a little nervous...only because my speech can get bad if I'm really nervous, and I'm not really having a stellar day already. But I suppose that's good, because the worse I am the more impact it will make! (Hopefully I won't have to make a speech anyway!!!)

I'll let you all know tomorrow how it goes!

Updates and Plans For MG Awareness Month

It's been a long day. A few GREAT things first:

My treatment went amazingly well yesterday. It was the FIRST time in hundreds of treatments that I didn't even feel the needles. Not even a little. It was AWESOME!!

Secondly, my father (71, not in great health, has emphysema, diabetes and won't quit smoking) soared through knee surgery with flying colors. He's feeling better than he was before surgery.

Now, for a couple things I'm doing for June, which is National Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month. I am bombarding Associated Content (www.associatedcontent.com) with articles about MG. I'm going through my personal story as well. I would love for you to check it out...and view my articles! Just search for Kerri Sweeris on that website.

Secondly, my husband works for the city we live by. He told me to contact the City Manager to ask him about receiving a proclamation regarding June being National MG Awareness Month at a City Council meeting in June. This would be covered by the media, so that would be awesome!

I'll keep you posted!
