Happy 25th Anniversary with Multiple Sclerosis
It started 25 years ago today. The beginning of my major attack that brought about my diagnosis. I still remember the story all too clearly. Valentine’s Day weekend, 25 years ago, I was moving into the house my ex-husband and I bought. We spent a few months sleeping at my mother’s house while updates were being completed. We were ready to move in and be alone in our new home. It was supposed to be a romantic thing first weekend…
Phantom Feelings
I always have a feeling that my legs are in a different position. I’m always in bed with my legs straight. I can’t move them on my own. The only way they would be in a different position is if someone put them there. Even then, chances are they wouldn’t stay that way. I mean the position with my knees up. Yet I always have the feeling that my legs are in this position, especially if I am under my…
Technology and Medical Advancement
Did you ever watch the cartoon The Jetson’s? You know meet George Jetson ?,his boy Elroy, his daughter Judy, Jane his wife ?. They were the futuristic family that drove the cars that flew in the sky. It was their phone that I was thinking about lately. They would get a call and it was always on this monitor. You would see the person that they were talking to. I remember thinking this was such a cool thing. Granted I…
Physical Therapy Begins Again
Hello my fellow bloggers and readers. Happy Friday. I am chilling with Zoey watching a F1 2008 race. I’ve been watching old season since the F1 season ended in 2022. I watched every race in the two seasons that Fernando Alonso won his championship titles. Fernando Alfonso is my favorite driver. I’ve seen many of his earlier races at various times. However, to watch a season,one race at a time, you really see how the title was won. I have…
Multiple Sclerosis Sucks
Hello to all. How are you feeling? Don’t we always hate that question? Multiple Sclerosis is a shitty disease. Have I said that recently? I remember I used to ask my neurologist every time I had an appointment, are you sure I have MS?” He always replied, “it wouldn’t be an appointment with you without you asking that question.” Unfortunately, the answer was always the same. Eventually I did stop asking him that question. I don’t know if it was…
Bionic Gym Comparison
Hi everyone, happy hump day. I’ve been wanting to do this comparison of workouts for so long. I did my typical workout. https://youtu.be/qbFvZEPTXDk. This is from Adapt to Perform. He has so many great workouts on his channel. Each workout is for wheelchair users being he is also confined to a wheelchair. The one I posted above is my go to workout routine 2-3 times a week. I repeat this three times when I do it for a total of…
Multiple Sclerosis is not an Easy Disease
Happy Friday. I feel like this week went super fast. I didn’t do much. I fell again this week. This marks the fourth fall in 3 weeks. I am having trouble with transferring from my bed to my wheelchair or wheelchair to my bed. Most other the falls have happened with aides that were new to me. They either didn’t have good enough English to understand what I was saying or they really couldn’t do what I needed. However, the…
Star Wars Trilogy
Once a year I need to watch the original Star Wars trilogy. I’m not saying that some of the new movies they’ve made over the years are bad, but nothing beats the original. Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, was my first boyfriend, although he was unaware of this fact. I must say that I still have a thing for his character in the originals as well as the newer movies. My favorite scene is still him looking at the evening…
A Monday morning Rant
I’m sad, my daughter went back home to Maine today. I had a really nice visit with her this past week. She might have needed to come home for mom time but I definitely needed daughter time. I am just such a proud mom watching her start her life. She is in a new state, has made some really good friends and has become so much stronger standing on her own. I can’t even begin to say how amazed I…
