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…
Look, I’m getting my snowstorm. Unfortunately, it’s not a blanket of white because plows already came through but it’s still snowing hard. The expectation is a total snow accumulation of 8-12 inches. I thought it would be more because it actually started around 8 last night. The wind was howling too. I should know I’ve been up a majority of the evening. My Sakara food delivery comes every Sunday night between 12-6am. Since I’m in a gated condo, I always…
I just finished my workout. I’m happy to report I did the whole thing from beginning to end without a long break in between already on day 4. I’m kicking ass. I have a pretty good system to get me off the floor using my wheelchair. I might be able to use my own strength but I know that if it doesn’t work, that mistake can be costly. I really don’t want to deplete all my energy getting up. I’ve…
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…
If you would believe I’m strapped in to the back seat of my van on my way to get a Covid vaccination. My stepdad is driving, mom in the front and I’m bouncing around in the back. My van doesn’t have the greatest suspension so it isn’t the smoothest ride inb I can’t tell you how I got this appointment. My mom has been crazy ever since the vaccines became available. She became more so when she became eligible to…
