Well unfortunately I had a tough morning. It seems my stomach is still having issues. I had to shower upon waking up this morning. I wish I knew what was causing all of this unsettling in my belly over the last few weeks. I’m scared to take anything because the fear of it binding and I experiencing the alternative is just as bad. However this leads me to make many trips necessary and unnecessary to the bathroom in fear of…
Today’s exercise didn’t go quite as planned. This is the first time I couldn’t get up off the floor and overdid it trying. I finally realized I needed to stop for a little and try again so I decided to write my blog. I’m not really tired but I’m hot so a little cool down should help. My head wasn’t in my workout today. My dogs were super annoying. I had Zoey licking my face or any other exposed area…
I had quite a few “accidents” this week. It seems my body likes to be either bound up or flowing free. I have yet to master a medium ground. Frustrating as it was, I figured at least I’d have a weight loss this week but even that wasn’t so. Oh well at least that has a medium ground it hovers around on. It got me thinking about when some of these issues first started showing up. I realized how long…
I’ve been wanting to get handicap plates on my van since I purchased the vehicle. There was a whole thing with the plates because I purchased the van in New Jersey and I live in New York. At that time I would’ve had to surrender the plates and re-register after I just paid the NYS 2 year registration fee. New York State isn’t very good at giving you money back and prorating so I just stuck with my handicap tag….
Ive had pretty significant changes that have been happening regarding my multiple sclerosis symptoms lately. In the grand scheme of things they might not seem significant but for me they are. My feet are pointing and flexing. They actually do it even better than this little video but I took this right after I worked out. My chin muscles are moving my feet really well. Not bad for someone with foot drop. I started phase 2 of standing strong and…
Good morning world. How are you this fine Tuesday morning? The big snowstorm didn’t leave as much as anticipated, from what I can see from my window. It rained last night and that definitely changed things. Cars are easily going down the road However that little snow and ice doesn’t work well for me. Power wheelchairs don’t like those conditions much. My handicap van ramp likes it even less. When I first got my van I opened the ramp by…
I’m doing a new program in the MS gym called standing strong. Yep has a lot to do with standing. I started phase 1 with my therapist. It had a lot of floor work as well as chair work. So I started integrating it with my previous program. I’m done with therapy but I really wanted to continue with this new program so I was determined to find something that I could make work without needing someone’s assistance to get…
I have had to make a switcharoo I my house. My big comfy chair has been moved to the balcony and my chair on the balcony has been moved inside. It wasn’t a decision I wanted to make but I had no choice. It was Minx’s fault. My innocent little puppy wasn’t such a good boy. I thought he was just on the floor chewing a toy. I had no idea he was under the chair chewing wires for who…
I want to start this blog by saying that normally I’m a hot box. I’m wearing T-shirt’s in winter, my sweatshirt is my idea of a jacket and I normally like the air a little chilly. This hasn’t been the case this year. I’ve been cold, especially at night. I’ve been waking up having slight chills making me crank my heat in my bedroom to ridiculous temperatures. Last year I could count how many times I even turned on my…
I really got my first dose of the Covid vaccine yesterday. I can tell you that by the group of 10 people that received the shot with me, it definitely was who you know or who you were related too. There was a family of 4 with me. 2 elderly people and what I assume was their daughter and her husband. I can’t swear by anything but it seemed that the daughter and husband piggybacked on elderly mom and dad’s…
