I was sitting up at the end of the bed when he got there. I popped right up to stand. My PT therapist said try to take a step. I was standing up with one of those silver walkers. Well, I took a step. It was my first step since the end of December. I then took another and another. I was going forward and back in the small space of my room. I was getting tripped up having to…
I have to be honest, I’m not sure I still want to blog anymore. I have had this feeling once before over a year ago. https://multipleexperiences.org/2020/01/18/do-i-continue-to-blog/. At that time I realized I still loved writing about my life daily. I have poured my heart out in so many of these posts. I’ve shared every bad day and every embarrassing MS moment I deal with daily on the pages of multiple experiences. My stories are getting repetitive. I’m running out of…
Over the years blogging, I’ve connected with many people that have multiple sclerosis or some other chronic disease. I’ve even connected with people who just love dogs like I do. I have even developed a cherished online friendship with a few of these people. I’ve crossed paths with so many that have been an inspiration to me, consoled me in my dark times, commiserated with me on my various challenges, congratulated me on my conquests and laughed with me over…
There’s been a lot going on this week and I’m not sure where to begin. After being traumatized this weekend, it was hard for me to even focus on everything that was happening, and a lot was happening. My new aide started on Monday, I got an OT evaluation to start that twice a week in the house, and Mikayla left. I’m also going for a urologist appointment on Friday to discuss the Botox in the bladder. I haven’t decided…
Well I canceled my therapy until further notice. After my blogs last week Not liking physical therapy PT like it or not…, you’d think I’d be happy making this decision but I really wasn’t. I’m not trying to be overly dramatic about the Coronavirus but I am trying to be smart. In therapy I can name fifty surfaces or more I touch that someone else has touch seconds before. They do not sanitize every surface in between patients. It is…
I was up early today to do a double therapy. I don’t like to put them both together but I had to this morning. I had occupational first and then physical therapy. I’m now exhausted and I haven’t had any coffee yet. I just got home. Immediately put my feet up. Have my Marshy already perched on my lap the coffee is brewing. I want coffee. I love coffee. I need a cup of coffee and then I could continue…
It’s another Monday, how did that happen? So today I was thinking, I wasn’t in the mood to blog. Then I realized I’ve blogged every day since I started the blog in July. Yes, sometimes I cheat and I put up song lyrics like yesterday, but come on Linkin Park rocks, it was meaningful. Sometimes I put up recipes but let me tell you the Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/04/08/vegan-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/ freaking rock, made them again yesterday. Or my highest traffic…
