Happy Friday. I had my physical therapy evaluation yesterday. This year it’s all about the core. Or I should say the lack of core. I have four exercises I need to do every day. Very simple exercises, for normal people. However, I’m not normal people. These four exercises are very difficult for me. I was exhausted after doing them. I’ve explained this so many times in this blog, fatigue is not just tired. It’s exhaustion where are your muscles are…
I have this shirt that says, I’m not drunk I have MS. The shirt always makes me laugh because you really do come across sometimes like you’re completely drunk. I remember when I used to work the reason I disclosed that I had MS was for that very reason. I didn’t want to have to be drug tested at work every day. I just do the goofiest, silliest things that must look humorous to an on looker. I’ve had the…
You know when you can wake up and know it’s gonna be a bad day? I’ve been on the floor four times already today and it wasn’t from falling. It was for my hands knocking things over and I had to find them to pick him up. I woke up upset because at 4 o’clock in the morning I had an accident. This is the third time that it’s happened while I was asleep.WTF???? Is this going to be something…
In three weeks is my official diagnosis anniversary of multiple sclerosis. Today I am going to see the doctor that made the diagnosis 20 years ago. I’ve said it before in many posts, I have two neurologists for my MS. One is a specialist in New York City and one is my long time original neurologist that I’m seeing today. People might think that’s ridiculous, why do I need two? The reason I ended up with two is because none…
I had this post written title one other time. I wrote it about being convinced I heard Boomer, my English Bulldog, after he passed away. I realize now that the things that go bump in the night is usually me. The biggest obstacle I’ve had, since I moved in the condo, is I sleep on the other side of the bed then I use to for the last 25 years. I always slept on the left side which, for all…
Back in June when I got into the program for the nursing aid, I also received a new med alert. So I’ve had this new one for quite some time and I like this one because the button it’s harder to push. Therefore I have had much fewer false alarms. By fewer, I mean zero. So I finally like this one. When I moved there weren’t many spots I was able to hook it up and so I had to…
It’s usually my morning meditation that I decide what I want to blog about. This morning I fell back asleep during my meditation and I never got an idea of what I wanted to say. Right now I’m just staring at the water, hoping something will come to me. When your blog every day, I have to admit, some of my blogs become pointless. I have a feeling this is going to be one of them. I can tell you…
Last week it in New York it was in the single digits before you add it in the wind factor. At that point it was the negative digits. I went out to eat at a restaurant with my family. The restaurant had open windows on all sides and even though the heat was turned up, it just couldn’t compete with the cold outside. The restaurant was freezing. We were there with cousins we haven’t seen in a while so it…
I’ve lived in my condo officially two weeks today. I know I sound like a broken record and I apologize, but I just am so happy. I’m always blogging about all the bad things, living with multiple sclerosis and how tough it is, it’s just so nice to recognize the good things. Every day I say to my mom, I love this place thank you so much. I probably could say that every day and it would never be enough….
Beautiful sunny day and I wake up with a headache. You know when you just haven’t felt right? That’s how I’ve been lately. I know, I know I have multiple sclerosis. Yes, that’s very true and the chances of it being just something with my multiple sclerosis is extremely high. However I just haven’t felt right. I’m not really sure what’s up. My doctor called with my blood work and again, everything is fine. I definitely don’t have Cushing’s, diabetes…
