I’m recovering from my Sh’bam workout. Have a nice sweat built up and I’m still breathing fast although I’m not out of breath. I’m always looking for new workout programs that I can do to continue to burn some calories while being mostly wheelchair bound. With this workout, from Les Mills, Zumba, and my favorites on Beachbody on demand, they allow me to workout my arms while I bop in my chair. My feet never move. I do get a…
I had no idea what I was doing when I started my blog and truth is, I still don’t. I went with ipage and have stayed with them all this time. They’ve been perfectly fine for the few times I needed help, I really have had no complaints but it is very pricey. This isn’t a business. I’m just writing to give out information and talk about my own multiple experiences with MS. I was thinking of making a change…
I saw this somewhere in the midst of the virus outbreak and have wondered about it ever since. If I have an overactive immune system why am I in such a quarantine from this virus? According to my neurologist, it is because of Rituxan. I take a medication that wipes out a strain of my white blood cells. I can understand that. It makes sense. It was another blogger who made the comment that they very rarely get sick. It…
I’m not sure what exactly is going on with my bladder these days. I know I have issues, had them for years, but they’ve seemed somewhat worse over the last few weeks. I am not sure if I don’t have some kind of bladder infection. The problem is that is varies day to day, something bladder infection tend not to do. However between my water pills and Toviaz, who knows. Urinary tract infections don’t always cause signs and symptoms, but…
I haven’t been sleeping great. I’m up all night either using the bathroom or unable to get the right temperature. However I still wake up in the morning pretty bright eyed abs chipper. Starting each morning with some puppy love helps that situation. I’ve put in some great workouts in the AM. Yesterday I did 52 minutes. That pretty intense especially since I didn’t go to bed until after 10:00. That’s when I realized that I’ve been doing really good…
I got my windows open. The sun is shining. It’s supposed to be almost 70° in New York today. The water is still so there’s no wind. I hear couple of birds chirping. I hear the seagulls which lets me know I’m by water. I know I’ll see boats today. I am just loving it. I don’t even mind seeing the bulldozer at the corner lot in my field of vision. It’s crystal clear out. I mean really, how can…
Well sometimes my MS issues lead to funny outcomes. I got my mom to bake Mandel Bread. These are cookies very similar to biscottis. It is one of those recipes passed down through the family for a long time. It use to be so hard to get the dough mixed so we never made them often. Then mom got this great mixer and she can make them in record time. After she cleaned every closet and draw in the house…
Still loving my Formula 1 racing. I think I’ve watched every documentary I could get on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. I haven’t even started on the docs on F1tv because I wanted to learn about F1 history before I started on each individual legend. Wow these men driving in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s were truly insane and so were the accidents. Thankfully drivers like Niki Lauda and Jackie Stewart started pushing for some safety reforms on these tracks. It’s…
With so many parents being the teachers now, I think many parents are forced to learn again. Learning math, English, science and social studies but most of all learning how hard it is to be a teacher. Many parents will have a new found appreciation for the people that teach their children when schools reopen, as they should. I’ve listen to my aid spend hours helping her son with his work. A sweet kid but he’s 7 and is easily…
