Happy Monday. My aid just told me I look tired. I’m always tired. I can sleep for 24 hours and I’d still wake up tired. I just did my little cardio workout but i was tired. It doesn’t ever matter, I’ve just learned to push through the feeling as I have always done. I bought a treadmill way back when I was still married living in my house. It was used for a total of a month tops before it…
I have an eye exam scheduled for Tuesday. My eyes have not been good. Things I’m reading are not clear and I find myself blinking a bunch of times to focus. Even with my eye glasses that are bifocals, I find they aren’t helping enough anymore. Last year my eyes had a slight change this year I feel that it is a major change. I might need to not only change my eye glasses but my sunglasses too. Got away…
I was reading an article yesterday about the life expectancy of people with autoimmune diseases. https://health.usnews.com/health-care/patient-advice/slideshows/autoimmune-diseases-that-can-be-fatal. Of course there was a section dedicated to multiple sclerosis. This said on average life expectancy of someone with MS is 7 years less than the average person without the disease. I’ve heard this number before but it doesn’t make me very happy. My thought is why? Why would MS shorten our life span? Other than complications from the more serious symptoms of MS…
My manifestation challenge is one week complete. I’ve done every exercise each day aligning myself with the universe. Yesterday was about asking for a sign that you are on the right track. My sign is always my 22 in strange places, meaning I can’t be looking at some clock in my house waiting for the time to reach 22 minutes passed the hour. Too easy. It has to be something random. My sign can also be my 1122. If I’m…
My daughter is starting on her own spiritual journey. It is amazing to watch. Months ago she started talking to my life coach and things have started to click for her recently. This last semester was a semester of growth. She had many obstacles she needed to deal with on a personal level and she came out of each incident stronger. The most amazing thing was she broke up with her high school boyfriend. A boy she was with for…
So I went yesterday for an occupational therapy evaluation at the same place that I’ve been going to therapy for the past four years. However I only participated in OT last year. I never realized I could do both. When my insurance ran out last year I actually took a break for the first time. Normally when my insurance runs out I go on their maintenance program but this time I just decided to continue doing my own exercising at…
I’m not sleeping well which is unusual for me. Sleeping has never been my problem. I can sleep all day and night normally other than getting up for bathroom breaks. Once in a while I deal with spasticity issues that plague my sleep. That can last for a night to a week to a month but that is sporadic and the medications I take at night normally do a good job preventing those episodes. I take baclofen, neurontin and flexeril…
Made this soup from WW, formally weight watchers, the other day. It was really good. A nice hearty filling soup perfect for the winter weather. I substituted regular potatoes for sweet potatoes because I’m not a fan as well as natural almond butter for the peanut butter. This might be a new favorite. Ingredients: Cooking spray 2 Onions, medium size chopped One Green Pepper, chopped 1/2 Lb Sweet Potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 cubes 2 Carrots, chopped  2…
I knew I shouldn’t write that about falling. I was playing mahjong yesterday and we were actually playing here in my building. It was one of those days where I was just not holding up very well in the game and I was having difficulties keeping up right. OK, it happens. I wasn’t going to stop playing because I was so happy. I haven’t played in so long. my bladder has been really cooperative and I don’t normally have to…
Year 2020, that’s crazy!! How was your first day of the New Year? I’m still here writing a blog to the internet. I love my blog, it is therapy for me, a way for family and friends to understand my daily life and a way to meet other bloggers and people. I should say this everyday, THANK YOU for reading, commenting and inspiring me to continue to write. I’m not a writer, actually English was my poorest subject in school….
