I love my dogs. Just in case you didn’t know that. I really can’t imagine life without my pets. Losing one is heartbreaking and the pain is very really. However, the joy they bring to my world everyday is immeasurable. I try to give them the happiest life in return. That being said my Zoey has been suffering from a luxating patella. Her knee cap moves out of place. Unfortunately., this isn’t uncommon in French Bulldogs. We have been able…
Good morning. Happy Monday. I’m not sure why I care if it’s a Monday, Tuesday or a Saturday. My day doesn’t vary all that much I need to keep track of the days of the week so I appear at the right activity planned. I mean Monday morning at 9am is occupational therapy. I’d prefer not to answer the door in a nightgown with bad breath. However, I’m sure I will one day sleep late convinced I didn’t need to…
What a week. I am stuffed. I can do naked and afraid for the full 21 days and not have to worry about food. I feel like I just ate for a week straight. My birthday Monday,, our celebration bday dinner Wednesday and Thanksgiving Thursday. So much food. I should never complain. I wish everyone could go to sleep with a full stomach. I am so thankful for my overstuffed belly and for the family that surrounded the tables. Today…
I had a really good birthday day. I woke in a very cheery. I just stayed that way all day. How could I not? Every second I was either on the phone with someone wishing me the best or answering a text. I felt so loved. I was exhausted by the end of the evening from talking. However, I just felt enveloped in a gigantic heart bubble. It was pretty amazing. Worth turning 50. On Tuesday, my aide was off…
Well today is my 50th birthday. That is a number you never really think about until you are closer to the realization that you are there. I remember throwing my mother a surprise party for her 50th birthday. The biggest surprise of that day was that my aunt, her sister, actually picked up my grandma at the airport. Something that she NEVER did. I can still see the scene so vividly when everyone yelled surprise and my grandma popped up…
First I need to give an update on my Bionic Gym and spasticity experiment. In a quick summary I was paying close attention to how my spasticity was after I used my Gym. My blogs during the week discussed it a little further. https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/11/15/bionic-gym-helping-with-spasticity-my-experiment/ and https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/11/17/time-for-a-hair-color-change/. Please remember this is MY experience with Bionic Gym. https://bionicgym.com/?rfsn=6087517.2f5823 The company makes no claims to help with neurological issues. That being said, 100% it made a difference and that’s exactly what I was…
I am only a few days into my Bionic Gym and spasticity experiment, since I messed up Sunday https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/11/15/bionic-gym-helping-with-spasticity-my-experiment/. I have to say I am definitely finding it easier to bend my legs after I used my Gym. I am definitely having less spasticity issues. It doesn’t last forever. Every morning I wake up with the same issues with my legs. It’s like my lower back needs a super stretch to release my legs. Again it’s only been a few…
I am doing a test this week. I think the Bionic Gym is helping with the spasticity. I have been using it later in the day on Monday and Wednesday because of occupational therapy. I am going to adjust the timing of that. I started with Sunday. I normally don’t do any exercise. It is my one day off. It is also the most difficult day for me with spasticity. I figured I would just do one hour at a…
My daughter came home. Her health insurance is still in NY and she needed to see the “female” doctor. She decided to come home Wednesday evening because she was able to get an appointment for Thursday. Otherwise she would have had to wait until some time in December. She has to go for a sonogram before she leaves Friday morning. I am just happy I got an extra day to see her that was unexpected. I just love her face….
Tuesday was a beautiful day outside. I was able to once again open windows and let some fresh air flow through the house. A rare thing in the second week of November. This is my favorite time of year. I think I have a blog post every fall saying just that. I love that there are still boats in the water. I love losing myself watching the water as the boats pass. It is always my peaceful place. The nice…
