Mood has improved from last week, I am happy to say. However I might have another tough week coming up. My daughter is away and my aide is on vacation. . I chose not to replace the aide anyway because I really hate having new people in the house. They don’t know where anything is, they are usually scared of the dogs and I have to make idle chit chat that can be exhausting. It puts too much stress on…
I’m so glad this week is over. This week was tough. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, but dumb shit. Like knocking things over, my Apple Watch not working for a day, my Bionic Gym stopped working, the new coffee pot was delayed in delivery, and forgetting things I had planned. It was just one thing after another everyday this week. I’m exhausted. I have had a migraine for 3 days now and although today is much quieter than…
You know those days where everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. That was my yesterday. It started with me knocking into my mailbox that consists of all little Knick knacks I need to be able to access quickly plus some mail. All those little things Minx loves to try to grab and run away with. Plus so many of the items are small and so hard for me to reach from my wheelchair. Ugh a very annoying thing to…
I broke my glass coffee pot this weekend. This seems to happen every two years if not yearly. I do have to say the last time I wasn’t the one who broke it but I shouldn’t brag because I’m pretty sure every other time it was me. I don’t buy expensive coffee pots for this precise reason but I really hated my last purchase. I always put cinnamon in my coffee grinds and this basket constantly caused the caused the…
I am playing mahjong today for the first time since the coronavirus. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to play but I am hoping I can sit for 2 hours at least. Unfortunately my wheelchair cripples me more than I’m already crippled. It’s the muscles in my core (a reader of my blog explained this to me). I’m reclined in my comfy chair, not putting strain on my muscles. In the wheelchair, I am sitting up. There is…
My neurologist and I decided we were going to switch to Kesimpta by my next infusion date. https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/04/26/possibly-switching-to-kesimpta/. My doctor wanted to start the process in July although my next infusion date isn’t until September. We entered the prescription into the pharmacy to start the process. It was less than 24 hours later that I received the denial from my insurance. The denial reason was that this medication wasn’t necessary and there may be other medication that can met my…
Good morning. I am slightly behind schedule this morning because I didn’t really feel like getting out of my bed. I slept great too. However this time it was Minx who kept moving in and out from under the covers. I finally gave up and got up. I actually ate breakfast this morning for the first time in years. I never ate breakfast so eating that early was not something I am use to. I watched this video over the…
These weeks are going by super fast. It’s Friday again already. Obviously, guess I didn’t really need to point that out. I just feel like things have been on hyper drive lately. It’s bizarre. I mean we are already through half of the year 2021. Didn’t we just celebrate the New Year? Does time speed up as you get older? I turn 50 this year, in November. I remember throwing a surprise party for my mom when she turned 50….
Is the summer over yet? I’ve already had enough of the heat and more importantly the humidity. I am thankful for my hair straightening giving me one less thing to worry about. I was never a fan of the summer even before my diagnosis. I was never one to cherish the sun. I have very fair skin so I burn easily and then I turn right back to my white complexion. I’m the perfect comparison for anyone who wants to…
Friday again. Got big plans for the 4th of July weekend? I have been staying close to home on this holiday since I brought Boomer into my life 15+ years ago. When a 70lb bowling ball jumps into your lap cowering in fear, you tend to start adjusting your plans. My Marshmallow and Zoey were always fine with fireworks but Minx is not. https://multipleexperiences.org/2021/06/28/firework-anxiety-in-minx/. Let’s be honest now, where was I going anyway. It’s hot and humid out, I’m in…
