Happy Friday. The end to a very long week. This week knocked me out. Not that it takes much to do these days but this one was a doozy. Im about to wake my little sleeping cherub up because we have to head into the city. She received a new cochlear implant upgrade and her audiologist is in NYC. The trip in will hopefully not take more than an hour. I’m praying for a lighter traffic day due to the…
Started physical therapy this week. Last time I did physical therapy for my multiple sclerosis was during my very first attack almost 19 years ago. Why? Insurance co-pays. I could never afford the co-pay to go to physical therapy twice a week, hell I couldn’t afford the co-pay once a week. I was working full time and was getting buried by my co-pay medical bills. I have multiple sclerosis so of course all my doctors are specialists which had the…
My poor daughter she gets the backlash of my mood swings so often. I woke up today on the wrong side of the bed. It wasn’t even because I knew the outcome of our next president either. I would never go online, check emails or even pick up my iPad before reading my course of miracle workbook. I just had a bad nights sleep and I was cranky. Being that I was up most of the night, I know my…
My mother tells the story of when I was two and she walked into Tutor Time. The door opened and every child’s head turned but mine. That led to the diagnosis that would affect my entire life. We found out I had a progressive hearing loss called EVA (enlarged vestibular aqueduct) and when my mother walked through that door, I had already lost all the high frequencies in my hearing. I received the first of two surgeries for my cochlear…
I always wondered what is going on in boomers mind when he looks outside. Boomer doesn’t get up and go outside easily you have to convince him so what is he thinking when he gazes? I’ve noticed lately I too have been glancing out my big window but I know what’s going on inside my mind. My life has become my apartment. The four walls of my home. As my MS has become worse I tend to stay home more…
My my dad sent this email to me I found it incredible that a cucumber had so many amazing uses. Enjoy and have a wonderful Sunday!! 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are…
Do you believe people come into your life haphazardly or that there is an actual reason? Do you believe in fate or destiny? Do you think life has a purpose some higher meaning or that things are just random occurrences? Do you believe the universe has a master plan? I’ve been a believer in fate my whole life. I’ve had to many meetings in my life where the time and place I met someone so many random things happened got…
There are so many things in my life I am truly grateful for and I can dedicate numerous posts to each of them. Today I want to talk about the ones that can never read my post. I actually started with cats. My first apartment didn’t allow dogs. Each fight my ex-husband and I had resulted in another cat. My dad, who always owned dogs, used to say “you’re a dog person”. I started pushing to get a dog as…
Pity party blog today. I’m just angry today. I wrote my whole blog already was ready to post it but my hand that holds my iPad started to fatigue and my finger hit the settings button on the side panel…lost everything I just spent 30 minutes writing. What did I do wrong? I exercise six days a week. I try to eat somewhat healthy. I take my medicines. I still get worse. I don’t know what else to do….
Has there ever been that guy in your life that could still make your heart flutter after many many years? Even though you have no idea why. Maybe you had a relationship with them or maybe not. Maybe you just saw them from across the room in the high school cafeteria but you’ll never forget them. I met my person in college my sophomore year. It was one of those weekend where everyone leaves school to go home for the…
