I’ve been sleeping so well since the hospital days. That is until the last few nights. I was up every hour one night. The next night I was up for a prolonged period of time for no apparent reason. I am now functioning on day two without sleeping well. I’m freaking tired. I am running out of steam way to early in the day. It is the reason why I do everything first thing in the morning. I did have…
Have I discussed my hives with you yet. OMG, thank you multiple sclerosis for not allowing my skin to feel itching like normal people. I’ve had them for months. The spots come and go all over my arms. They seem to prefer the right arm more than the left. They weren’t this bad until recently. I’ve called my new doctor quite a few times. A doctor I was very excited to get. https://multipleexperiences.org/2022/05/04/home-visit-doctor/. She finally called me back and was…
My sweet Zoey sprained her back somehow. Imagine seeing this cute face in pain. You don’t even know what is going on. She started having these periods where she’d be shaking. I knew something was off but I couldn’t tell what it was. She was eating and drinking l. She was just off. Then she wouldn’t eat. I immediately made a vet appointment. I am so thankful for the help of my adopted family. (The best thing that came out…
Some days are better than others. I walked the hallway again yesterday and it was so hard. Ok, it was hard the first time I did it but it was so much harder yesterday. My right leg, which is normally the leg that gives less issues, was very difficult to move. It was difficult from the hip flexor. I had problems moving the leg forward. My left leg, which normally drags, has difficulty clearing a step without my foot impeding…
I am still making shocking improvements. I walked my hallway in PT. I haven’t done that since last year. https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/06/18/walking-again/. I at one point had a goal to not use the wheelchair in the condo anymore. As much as I would like to believe this is still an attainable goal, it is far down on my goal list. I was amazed I have been able to walk again at all. It took almost 30 minutes to walk roughly 50 feet,…
This is my daughter’s 23rd birthday. It is also the first year she isn’t home for her birthday. My beautiful baby girl, as she will always be, is now living 6 hours away. She has begun her adult life. She is starting to find her way around this crazy world. This is the first year I don’t get the chance to kiss her face on the day she was born. I’ve been there for every other year to wish her…
It has taken me almost 6 months but I finally did it. I GOT UP FROM MY COMFY CHAIR. I got up by myself. I actually started standing up when my therapist was a few feet away from me. I didn’t want anyone to touch me. I knew I could get up. I didn’t want to have that hand on me for guidance. I wanted my victory. I deserved my victory. I know the walking was the biggest thing to…
How was your weekend? Despite the scattered showers, it was a nice weekend here. The nautical mile, two blocks from me, starts amping up full speed as of this weekend. With three of the most popular bars being right across from me, it gets very noisy. Unfortunately, the music blends between them so you can’t always make out one song from another. I am always happy at the start of the season. I love the hustle and bustle of the…
I had a good week. I shared my video of me walking in Wednesday. I walked even more during my PT session on Wednesday afternoon. I guess it wasn’t a video fluke of a good MS day. I am actually strong enough to take those few steps. I still can’t get up from my comfy chair but I certainly have hope. I even hit another milestone this week. I had my hair straighten. I had to sit up in my…
I was sitting up at the end of the bed when he got there. I popped right up to stand. My PT therapist said try to take a step. I was standing up with one of those silver walkers. Well, I took a step. It was my first step since the end of December. I then took another and another. I was going forward and back in the small space of my room. I was getting tripped up having to…
