My daughter is home again

My daughter is home again

Morning. Happy Monday!!! It’s freezing in NY. I’m actually wearing a sweatshirt for the third time this entire winter. I am still cold. I might even turn on my bedroom heater for the first time ALL winter. Spring officially begins in like a week. Just goes to show you, you never know with Mother Nature. My older sister lives upstate is expecting like 2 feet of snow tonight. OMG!!! Crazy. I guess this is one of those days I’m happy…

Thanksgiving cold

Thanksgiving cold

I went out for Thanksgiving. I went home, my childhood home. I haven’t been there again in years. We certainly didn’t know if I could last in a wheelchair for the duration of dinner. To complicate matters I needed to use my hooveround, not my main wheelchair, because the ramps are fitted according to that wheelchair. It didn’t matter I did really well. I sat through all of dinner. I sat at the table with my family. I was very…

Rituxan postponement

Rituxan postponement

Today I am getting blood work done. My specialist wants to see a few things. First, my B cell counts. With the hundreds of blood tests I’ve had done in the hospital, that wasn’t done. There was no need to break out the specific white blood cells for a pneumonia. The second thing is my immunoglobulin blood test. I was running very low in the hospital throughout the few months. The pneumonia certainly could be to blame. However, every time…

Reason to love the cold rainy day

Reason to love the cold rainy day

It is a rainy, cold and miserable day here in New York. The kind of day you want to sit on the couch wrapped up in a blanket and watch Netflix from morning to night.  The kind of day you pray you have nothing to do, nowhere to be, and no other obligations. The kind of day I am remotely grateful that I have multiple sclerosis and have nothing to do, nowhere to be and no other obligations. I…

It started with one sneeze

It started with one sneeze

I was feeling so good and then I sneezed and that was the beginning. Yesterday I wrote how I was feeling good and today I feel lousy because I’m getting sick. However in my defense I was talking about my MS yesterday. Ugh I should have known. I had a slight nasal drip. I should have been consuming my oregano but I was lazy. I was too late and the cold started. It is sitting in my chest and it…

Cutting vacation short

Cutting vacation short

Unbelievable but I’m leaving today instead of a Sunday. There is inclement weather in NY for the entire weekend. JetBlue even put on their website that if you were traveling into or from one of the airports they expect will be problems you could change your flight for free. Leaving from Cancun on JetBlue has one flight per day. Every day the planes were just about booked but today or Thursday. My daughter has to get back Tuesday to college…

Cold? It’s 78 degrees

Cold? It’s 78 degrees

I fell asleep in the sun yesterday for a short time. I was awoken by my brother in law blocking the sun from me. He was sent by my mom who was scared I was going to fry. Well in typical Jamie fashion my face and chest burned. Today my face has already lost its color and my chest is bright red. Forgive my lack of makeup and frizzy hair. I just got out of the pool and shower shortly…

It’s pouring

It’s pouring

First day on vacation and it is completely pouring outside. Like monsoon pouring at times. My poor daughter is wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants trying to stay warm. She’s had a headache all day partly from her cold and partly because of the weather. I’m sneezing now too which isn’t good. I too felt sick and last night I had to sleep in a bathrobe because I was freezing. Not off to the finest first day here but we are…

Schools back reminder about oils Doterra

Schools back reminder about oils Doterra

I can’t say enough good things about these oils. I started feeling horrible on Tuesday with a chest cold starting. I consumed my one drop of Oregano and one drop of Onguard in some water. I woke up Wednesday not much better but continued throughout the day with Oregano and Onguard. By Thursday I was feeling better. By Friday, I was fine and I have MS and a weakened immune system. My daughter, at college, said she needed Oregano and…
