I’ve realized something over the last few months, I never have quiet. My ears always have what I can only describe as a buzzing sound in them. I know, sounds like tinnitus, but it’s not ringing. Not only is it it not ringing, I hear fine, it doesn’t bother me or throw me off balance and it isn’t loud or annoying. I’ve just noticed the sound is always there. I’m not sure when I started noticing it but I know…
I’ve had so many blogs about this topic. Regulating my body temperature is not going well these days. It can be very frustrating. The sweating happens a lot after i eat. It is because my food is hot. The hot food causes my body temperature to rise and then I start sweating. Really makes no sense. Most normal people eat a hot meal and don’t have any issues. Not me, I eat, I get overheated. WTF!!! It happens all the…
I have been fighting migraines since Saturday. During my teleconference with my neurologist he informed me that my insurance company was no longer going to cover my Relpax prescription. These are the pills I take when a migraine gets really bad. My prescription fills at 6 pills per month under the generic version Eletriptan. They gave my doctor two other options to try. The first one he gave me was Rizatriptan. A dissolvable pill that you place on your tongue….
I did well yesterday My words are my actions. I managed to use the walker until after 2pm. I completed 3 sets of 10 squats but I can admit I pulled myself up on the last few. I was done!!! I’m happy to say that I recovered and had strength to get myself up into my bed without assistance and without lowering the bed to the flat position. I was proud of myself. My daughter comes into my room every…
One thing I can say about myself is I’m not a slacker. If I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. I wrote about my weakness in my legs the other day My muscles are getting weaker. In the blog I realized I had to do something. So I first thought on safety. I can’t fatigue myself to the point I can’t transfer. My daughter has been so helpful when my aid isn’t around but she’s…
I have to be honest, my legs are super tired by the end of the night. I’ve been having some real issues getting myself into bed. Luckily my daughter has been around to assist and readjust my legs. My original thoughts were why? I’m resting most of the day after I exercise. Then it occurred to me, I’m moving even less now than the little I was moving before. This is bad. The more I’m in hibernation, the weaker I’m…
I’ve been loving this soup I found on Cooking Light. https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/french-style-beef-stew. I do make changes that o will note next too either ingredient or steps.

Seems everyone is saying the same thing, at least everyone in my age bracket. I don’t care so much about my nails and truthfully I could do my own hair. I just know I’d never match my color so I’ll leave it to the professionals. I’m getting my magic sleek done as soon as this is over anyway and it changes my hair color. Picture makes me laugh. I’m grateful this is what is consuming my mind these days. I’ve…
Good morning. I just finished my LesMills workout. I’ve been doing Sh’bam on there which is cardio dancing stuff. It’s fun but I wish I could be doing some of their other workouts like Grit or Pump but my body’s weakness doesn’t allow for that anymore. I have to revise all workouts I do to a chair. Then I have a problem holding weights. I’ve purchased hand weights that I wear like gloves and use them for all my workouts….
A sobering thought to the crisis going on in our world. Listening to the governor of New York State yesterday he said it very well, we don’t know. We won’t be waking up to newspapers announcement that the coromavirus has ended. We won’t see people coming out of their homes and hugging each other on the streets. We won’t have pictures memorializing this day in history when the virus ended. Picture from https://www.headforpoints.com/2019/06/09/may-bank-holiday-in-2020-has-been-moved/ This virus ends in stages. A vaccination…
