I went to my friends house yesterday for an impromptu get together for the Fourth of July. It was extremely hot which I know is difficult for me with MS. However, I really wanted to go at least for a little while. I would’ve been fine in the heat if it wasn’t for my bladder. For some reason yesterday, I had to pee every hour. Not that that’s the worst thing in the world, except she has steps. I had…
I missed my own anniversary. It was July 1. Duh!!!! I renewed recently and blogged about it, keeping my domain name for another 2 years. Yet I forgot the actual anniversary. I remembered when I saw a message from WordPress. Happy 2nd Anniversary Thank you to all my subscribers. Thank you everyone who has ever read a blog post. Thank you to everyone who has liked a post. Thank you for all the comments left over the last few years…
I met this girl when we were 15. I was at her Sweet 16. We were at each other’s wedding. Last night she was my first sleepover guest in my condo. 30 years of friendship and we lived in two different countries. This was long before the internet, email and Facebook. That’s say something. I went to college a half an hour from the Montreal border, that helped. This girl can bring a smile to my face a tear to…
Today I post a fairly simple question, has anybody used medical marijuana and had a positive effect on your bladder incontinence? I know in the past when I’ve used marijuana one of the better side effects for me, was it caused a hesitancy in my bladder. I can have this sometimes in the middle of the night when I can’t get my muscles to release right away to use the bathroom. The other time has happened was after using marijuana….
As sent to me from my life coach: This is just a little Sunday reminder to: Hear yourself Honor yourself Heal yourself Know yourself Protect yourself Inspire yourself Enjoy yourself Celebrate yourself And Love yourself Don’t wait for somebody else to do this for you– (they can’t!). Nobody deserves it more than you!!!! So I encourage you to ask yourself: What is one thing that you can do today, tomorrow, (and/or the next day) to make it the “best day…
I’ve worked on my issues with money for the past few years with my life coach. I use to live in fear. I was in complete credit card debit, couldn’t afford most things I bought and was always in fear I would never have enough. Guess what? I never had enough. My life coach had helped me to change the way I look at my money. I used a mantra all the time, and still do, money is easy and…
I don’t know what I want to say today. I asked for other people’s input and they all said weather. Lol that’s a boring topic. I am blocked because I haven’t done anything since I haven’t felt well except watch tv. I have been watching big brother. I personally love it. I started at the first season and I’m on season 8 currently. Although in my defense I couldn’t get many episodes in the first 6 seasons. They wouldn’t load…
I hate being this person. I hate making the decisions and choices and saying No to things because “I don’t feel good”. I’m use to all this garbage but I still hate it. I got a long week coming up. And I just haven’t been feeling great. I canceled a lot of stuff over the last two weeks and I’m happy to say that at least I could. I’m lucky that I’m in the position and I have the option…
I have a label. Not really the label I would’ve liked, but it’s mine. For the one or two times I’ve been in the emergency room I have the bracelet labeling me a fall risk. On my nursing assessment I’m labeled a fall risk. My recent aid agency evaluation I have bright neon yellow stickers on all my papers. I’m a fall risk and I have the cuts and bruises to prove it. I’m always bruised somewhere, usually my knees…
I guess this is kind of like a part two to yesterday’s blog before I was diagnosed. https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/06/25/before-i-had-multiple-sclerosis/ What I’m not going to write here is about my attack in 2014 that really disabled me. What I am going to say is what I would change if I could go back. Again hindsight is 20/20 but this is for the newly diagnosed and people more on the early side of their onset of multiple sclerosis. When your first diagnosed, it’s…
