Well, I am back from Rome. I can’t say it was my favorite place to visit but at least I can say I have been there. It was at least 90 degrees everyday. Insanely hot. One benefit of traveling alone is that I can set my own schedule. I would relax in the late afternoons until it cooled down. My hotel was in a good location and I was able to spend my evenings looking at different attractions.
On the second day, I went to the Colosseo (or Coliseum) which had a line about 1/8 of a mile long. I purchased a pass that let me skip the line which is good because I would have never waited that long. Once inside, there were stairs that looked like this (not my picture, I forgot to get one of the stairs):
They had an elevator which was reserved for disabled. I pulled the disabled pass and took the elevator up. I should have taken it down also. They were rather scary. I have been taping my foot everyday which has helped but still… argh. Anyway, as I was walking into the elevator, the lady keeping track of the elevator laughed and said something about me being fat. I wish that was just the problem. 
And that just about sums up my thought on Italy. I am glad to be back in London.
In other news, it seems I hit a vein when my Copaxone shot. I have a nutty bruise on my leg. I have noticed I get bruises about one in 10 shots. I think this is normal but I guess I should call when I get back to the states to make sure.

Sometimes doesn’t it just want to make you wear a T-shirt that says, my disability is MS not Fat.
Unbelievable that people can be so callous….but they are.
