How are you feeling? Seems that this is always the question asked by everyone that knows me. Today, I asked myself. I have written many blogs about lack of sleep Sleep deprived, many about accidents A horrible and humbling outing, and even some on actual feeling How are you feeling? The truth about Parethesia, but it’s been a while since I actually said how I was feeling. I’ve had multiple sclerosis for 22 years now. My disease modifying therapy is…
I had a rough day yesterday. I had some kind of stomach bug. Let’s just say if I had to do a colonoscopy this morning I would be well prepared. I felt awful. I couldn’t really eat a thing. Anything I ate wouldn’t stay for long. I was dehydrated so the only thing I really could do was drink. My body was so achy. This is where having MS is always an issue. It wasn’t just the fear of an…
I’m changing things up. I canceled my Les Mills on demand. I have not yet decided if i will cancel Beachbody. There are many programs i use that I have modified to fit my needs. However, I started the MS gym one month BGB boot camp trial https://themsgym.mykajabi.com/30daytrial. I am planning on joining as a member after. Truthfully the price of the monthly membership is high, more than I pay for all my on demand workout programs. The reason why…
My dad sent me an article about “best friend investments”. It wasn’t talking about human relationships. The article was literally about investing in pet related stocks. They gave a numerical figure, “in the US pet products are a $95.7 billion dollars industry.” I didn’t find that shocking. All I have to do is look around my house to comprehend that figure. However my favorite line was; “pets are making the transition from luxuries to necessities.” I don’t know if I…
So little Minx is doing great. He has, however, received a new nickname of demon because of his teething on anything flesh. Those little teeth hurt especially when he gets you under the arm. I’ve been doing a yelp, line he does,hoping he gets the idea of ouch. With a million teething toys on the floor, he still prefers the skin of my daughter and myself above them all. Other than that, I’m a little sleep deprived. I can’t even…
I made a decision last week to go back to eating more plant based/vegan. It has nothing to do with diet in a losing weight idea. I think I’ve given up on that concept because nothing works for me anymore. I need to accept my body for where it is today. I canceled my weight watchers membership. I’ve noticed over time myl eating has changed to incorporate a lot of processed foods again. Things that were easy points on weight…
This puppy is definitely the best puppy ever. He knows the wee wee pad and uses it by himself even when he’s playing. I wrote to my breeder, obviously amazed, she explained that they don’t “demand” the use but they try to introduce it with all their puppies. This little thing got the instructions and is already on point. He is 8 1/2 weeks old. He is even sleeping great. I took him to the pad at 2:30am and then…
I have so many good things happening this week I am so excited for each day. Let’s start with today. I’m getting my new wheelchair today at 3:30. What makes this one totally different is that this is a true chair for a disabled person NOT just a motorized wheelchair. This chair will have the ability to move my position in the chair forward and back. We also paid extra for the ability to go up and down. I’m not…
I did an update on my phone this morning and my WordPress app has been running very slow. Plus I’ve been experiencing some glitches. I’ve now turned off my phone twice and rebooted the app for the second time. All to write a blog that I had nothing to say. I was off to a late start this morning. It’s 11:00 and I just completed exercising. I did two different chair programs. One for core and one with weights. I…
I’ve said many times that I start to write my blog with one idea and it goes a completely different way. Sometimes the blog writes itself. This is what happened yesterday Summer heat hibernation and my own multiple sclerosis realization. I certainly wasn’t planning on addressing the idea of more aid hours. I’ve pushed back on this, against my family’s concerns, because I need some alone time. It’s probably why I never have a problem being home. I’m with someone…
