It just dawned on me, that February 14 was my 20 year anniversary with MS. It was the weekend of February 14 that I was moving it to my house with my ex-husband. My left leg started to feel numb. The numbness started traveling up my leg through my muscles. I wasn’t just numb, my muscles were becoming week and atrophied. It was The following Friday I went to a family doctor who sent me immediately to this neurologist. To…
I’m putting on my shoes to go to the doctor about the swelling that’s going on in my lower legs, ankles and feet. I noticed that maybe the right one looked a little less swollen, but I put my shoes on anyway so I can go to the doctor. When I got to the doctor a game plan was almost already in place before she even looked down at my feet. She touch my feet, she looked at the rapid…
My ex-boyfriend has always read my blog. I confronted him about it maybe five months ago, I question why he read my blog. I wondered was it his narcissistic mind that made him read it my blog or was it that he actually gave a shit. His reply was what do you think? I always knew it was him because he go on in a specific way after he got blocked from Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. I have a post…
Going to the doctor tomorrow. Let’s see what this is all about. My whole weekend I was away my feet were swelling. My mom said it’s because of the airplane. I don’t know, it might be. I flew down Thursday night could barely get my shoes on every day I was down in Florida and then I flew home Monday. I just think my shoes were tight before this but I’m not sure. It certainly wasn’t as bad. My aide…
I love my condo. Yesterday when I walked in I dropped everything so I can greet my dogs.… So surprising!!! I miss them. I was so excited to see them. That’s the only thing about vacations. I will love being away seeing my family, but I just miss the dogs. Anyway after many kisses, I got up and assessed my condo. I’ve use the same dog sitter for a very long time. I truly love her she’s like my family…
You have to be thankful for the small things. I’m grateful that my multiple sclerosis “issues” were handled effectively for my stay in Florida, despite the heat. I know both my dad and stepmom are nervous. They aren’t around me daily and the symptoms of my MS scare them. It’s more the fears of the falls I think. I did fall but neither of them were in their presence. One was me once again sliding off the toilet. What’s with…
I was listening to an oldie station by the pool yesterday. By oldies, I mean only slightly older than me. Anyway, this song came on. I haven’t heard it it in years. What a great song so I’m sharing it with you for my Sunday post. https://youtu.be/R_Dec9Tu3BU I was born in the wagon of a travellin’ show My mama used to dance for the money they’d throw Papa would do whatever he could Preach a little gospel, sell a couple…
I’m the first one up. I’m sitting listening to the stillness of the house but also watching the complete stillness of the water. It was my dad who gave me my love of the water. At an early age taking me out on the boat. We never fished. Most of the time didn’t even have a destination, just went. My favorite of his boats was a yellow speedboat he owned. I remember being in the cabin with my little sister,…
It’s a little warm in Florida. Great for most people, not so much for this MS patient. I purposely come down in January or early February because the weather is great. 70 something by day 60 something by night. Not this trip. It’s 80 degrees and a little humid down here. At night it’s a cooling 78. I realized no way could I do my Beachbody exercise program. The house is too hot and outside is too hot. I said…
I think that I use that line every time I go to Florida. Although I know I’m coming back on Monday. I’m excited I haven’t seen my father in a year. That’s a long time. I speak to him frequently and we visit via phone but I miss his hugs and I’m really looking forward to getting my hug. My step mom and me, we were always up earlier than everybody so we always have morning coffee together. It became…
