My daughter is packing because she’s leaving today not tomorrow. My aide of three years had her last day with me yesterday. My new aide starts Monday and is working 11-7. Not exactly the hours I wanted to change them too but it is still is better than my original hours. I can now do my normal morning routine. I prefer working out when no one is around. I always did. Now I’ll have the morning to myself. What could…
I’m doing a lot better with my new wheelchair now. I don’t love everything about the chair but I am consistently using it now. It turns horribly, I hate that. It is also difficult if you maneuver wrong and hit a wall. You can’t just do a simple correction. You have to move forward or back still hitting the wall to maneuver yourself off the wall, if that makes sense. The wheels that move this chair are in the middle…
My brother-in-law recently lost his mother. She was very young, too young, as young as my own mom. A truly wonderful woman. I was very fortunate to know her and she brought up the most amazing young man who is my brother-in-law. He is one of a kind, so generous and understanding. Yet what I love the most about him is he’s a realist. He sees things for the truth of the actuality of the situation. He might not like…
It is Zoey’s fourth birthday. She received all new Nylabones for her birthday and she was pretty happy. Zoey is my first and only girl dog. She has the sweetest temperament and is adored by everyone. Plus she is adorable. I realized today that she is the only dog who has been with every one of my dogs even if briefly. She came the week before my Boomer passed. He was the only one not fond of her so I…
I had a comment yesterday by Mary suggesting Botox for my many trips and accidents with the bathroom the other night. Waking up to use the bathroom all night long. I’ve heard of this treatment option but I’ve never looked into it for the one thing she mentioned, you have to self catheterize. Patty concurred with that comment this morning too. However, Mary started me thinking. I would love not having accidents anymore. I would love to stop worrying every…
You know you didn’t sleep well when it’s 8:30 in the morning and your Apple Watch already has 6 hours of standing. I wasn’t feeling good this weekend, maybe the start of a cold. I’m not sneezing but I feel congested especially in my chest. I’ve once again resorted to my oregano oil and breath oils. I feel slightly better today but a good nights sleep would have certainly helped. That did not happen. Instead I was up every two…
Not one of my better nights sleeping. I think I was up most of the night. Everything hurts. I hate that feeling. My headache isn’t helping either. I woke up sneezing so I immediately guzzled down some oregano oil. I just feel blah. I worked out and even that didn’t help. Usually bringing on a sweat helps a little but not today. I was disappointed in my heart rate and felt it didn’t register accurately. That in turn made me…
Amazon’s been promoting shark week on discovery channel for a while now. However, now the promo is Tyson versus jaws, rumble on the reef. Is this really what we’ve lowered ourselves to? I actually like shark week. They’ve actually had some really interesting programs. I think my stepdad’s told me it is the longest running cable event in history. Do really need to be promoting it alongside Mike Tyson in his boxing gloves? OK, maybe it’s just me. It is…
I slept yesterday for 8 hours straight. No bathroom breaks. I can’t even remember the last time that happened. Eight hours of straight, uninterrupted sleep. I didn’t believe it was possible anymore. I wonder if my new heating/ac unit had anything to do with it. Probably not since I don’t think that has any effect on the bladder. I’ve been so tired. I don’t even want to write about it anymore. The topic itself I find exhausting. I rather talk…
This has been a very full morning already. I slept late. I got up at 8:30 which for me lately has been late. I knew my AC guy was coming first thing in the morning so I kind of put myself into high gear, at least the highest gear someone with MS can go. My goal was get a bra on and my teeth brushed before they arrived. With that achieved I rushed to feed the dogs and clean their…
