I have the same routine every morning. I’m up at 7am to be changed by my aides. I always get out of bed so I could feed my dogs. I like to be the one that feeds them so they know I’m still mom. I workout as soon as I am back in my bed. I always workout first thing in the morning. My workouts have been just my Bionic Gym with weighted bars because I can’t do my resistance…
I’m here for at least one more year. My domain name multiple experiences is paid for until the end of June, 2024. If it came due this year, I would not have renewed. I don’t know if that is fate. Maybe I’ll find solace again in blogging. I definitely lost my love for writing since my hospital ordeal. More so, from the complete change in the level of my disability. It is hard to write a blog when your life…
Living on Long Island I had the dark yellow color skies due to the Canada wildfires. I felt like I was living in an eerie Stephen King novel. As eerie as my sky was, NYC was still way worse. The sky there was so dark you couldn’t see buildings in front of your face. That is freaking INSANE!!! I immediately wrote to my friend who lives in Montreal. Can you see or breathe? She replied “see, yes, breathe, no”. I…
I keep meaning to write. I have every intention. Then at the end of the day, I realize I didn’t write again. Normally I actually write my blog the day before but since WordPress had an update, I schedule the blog but it never posts. I finally got annoyed and stopped writing the day before and then stopped writing on the day. So here I am. I would love to say so much has happened since I last wrote, but…
Hello to all!!! I am still fighting the good fight here. I just got back my second urine culture which showed positive still for an infection. Yet at the bottom in this one little line is >=3 organisms probable collection contamination. Well how is that possible??? I know we got a clean sample from the source. The only thing is that my aide didn’t fully tighten the lid to the sample cup. The urine leaked out a little into the…
I’ve been watching the Deadliest Catch. I would love to be on one of those Alaskan crab boat’s during those crazy weather storms. I would NEVER be a crabber but would LOVE to be in the wheelhouse. I would probably choose the Saga to hang out with Jake. He is one of the younger captains. Yet I find him an honest fisherman who really cares about his crew. Plus I think he’d be a fun hang. I’d also love to…
Hello again. I’m on a roll now. So it was official, lab confirmed, a UTI. I saw my doctor last week. This could have become a dangerous situation for me. I could have wound up once again in the hospital needing IV antibiotics. I could have even ended up septic if the bacteria got into my bloodstream. It is how elderly can die from a UTI. It is when UTI symptoms aren’t realized and the infection goes undetected. My body…
Good morning everyone. So, looks like my latest stretch of the last few weeks of suffering might be due to a UTI. Even though we are still waiting on the lab results, my doctor prescribed me antibiotics yesterday. However, when the culture does come back, we might have to change antibiotics based on the strain. I should’ve known. I can’t feel that area anymore yet my aide has said my urine has NOT been clear for a while now. I’ve…
I was practicing my Course in Miracles yesterday, and the days lesson was Miracles are seen in the Light. The idea of the lesson is that you are not your body. It is not your body’s eyes that see, it is your spirit that sees. It is your in your spiritual eyes that miracles are seen. I know that it sounds like a load of garbage. A Course in Miracles says My dad started meditating when I was a very…
Morning. Happy Monday!!! It’s freezing in NY. I’m actually wearing a sweatshirt for the third time this entire winter. I am still cold. I might even turn on my bedroom heater for the first time ALL winter. Spring officially begins in like a week. Just goes to show you, you never know with Mother Nature. My older sister lives upstate is expecting like 2 feet of snow tonight. OMG!!! Crazy. I guess this is one of those days I’m happy…
