I always call it a scooter, but technically I guess it’s a wheelchair. I really wanted the hoverRounds MPV5. When I called it was over $4000 and of course my insurance wouldn’t cover it. My thinking was I was going to wait until I became Medicare eligible and get it then. Medicare pays for it. The problem with that outlook is first I’m not gonna be eligible for Medicare until, two years after the start of my disability which is…
These days come fast, don’t they? I have to say, it’s been very busy for me. Good busy buying stuff for my new condo, but busy. I’m exhausted and it’s Monday I didn’t even do anything. I was out both days this weekend shopping. I had buy new locks the door. May not sound like such a big deal, but I have multiple sclerosis and it’s getting worse. I fumble a lot with keys and sometimes the dexterity in my…
The first piece of me was added to the condo yesterday. My light fixture over my dining room table. This is a terrible picture because it looks gold in this yellowish light but it’s silver. It actually looks like this. In the condo she has these lights with lamp shades makes everything look yellow. Today my step dad and I are going to Home Depot to pick out new door locks and sconces. On a side note yesterday was the…
December is here already. These years are feeling like they are speeding up as I get older. This is a big month for me. My step mom and Dad both turn 75 this month and they also celebrate a 25 year anniversary. Happy birthday and anniversary to them. Big milestone marks and celebrations. Unfortunately, I won’t see them until February when I go to Florida but I can visit and celebrate over the phone. My dad is getting a pacemaker…
This blog was inspired by another MS blogger, who like me, has had this disease along time. Her positive spirit is always an inspiration. https://trippingthroughtreacle.com/2017/11/28/accept-adapt-succeed/ It wasn’t one time, it’s been many times. The first was the day I got my diagnosis. I didn’t understand what MS was. There wasn’t an internet yet I could search. I had to look it up in an old set of encyclopedias that were in my home. It had maybe two paragraphs in the…
What’s your worst and MS symptom, besides fatigue ? At first I would’ve always answered the numbness, but eventually you get used to it. Not used to it in the sense that it feels normal, use to it in the sense that this is how it is. My hands and fingers are so numb all the time. I’ve lost all tactile feeling and sometimes can’t tell the difference between an item that is wet or dry, cotton or silk and…
Everyone around me seemed to take a deep breath now that I’m not fully vegan anymore. On Thanksgiving I let a couple of things slide, but the only things I really added to my diet is fish, low-fat ground turkey and chicken. I pulled out all rice. I’m sticking to quinoa or bulgur or the lower calorie higher fiber grains as per weight watchers. Other than that change, I’m still making my vegan recipes. I still try to keep the…
I’m going to have many posts about these oils in the future but because I’m packing and moving, my time is limited. Let me start by saying that my first introduction to these essential oils was at my Spirit Junkie Masterclass last year. I had a terrible headache and no medicine to help it. I ended up at the booth for DoTERRA and they put on me a mixture of something and rubbed it into my temples and hairline. Other…
First, I’m going to update you on my yesterday‘s post regarding my beautiful daughter and her boyfriend, they are back together and all is fine. It’s amazing about these two, as much as I can’t stand the relationship sometimes, they’re perfect for each other in a lot of ways. He’s just as messed up as she is. He truly loves her and she truly loves him. If they can both just grow up and communicate with each other their relationship…
Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US. We have a tradition, started by my sister, that we go around the table to say what we are thankful for each year. This year I decided to blog my list. My daughter. She is and will always be the center of my world. She is the gift I get to keep watching evolve each year and change and become the beautiful picture she is today. She is my proudest moment in any…
