First I had a remember what myelopathic meant and then I remembered what he meant. Myelopathic is referring to the spinal cord. What my doctor means is that my MS is in my spinal cord not in my brain. All my symptoms fall…
My birthday was really nice. My friend Angie actually surprise me with vegan muffins and a candle at my nail salon. That was a very embarrassing display but a very sweet one. I think she was more surprised when I explained to her that I haven’t been even eating vegan. I change diet so often who the hell could keep up anyway. That was my first candle of the day. Good thing she gave me that because my second candle…

This is another great vegan soup recipe I found at https://www.simplyquinoa.com/lemon-garlic-wild-rice-soup/. Simply Quinoa is an amazing website created to empower others into a healthy lifestyle. I could spend hours there looking at recipes and articles. Check it out. https://www.simplyquinoa.com/ I changed the grain in this soup to a more healthy grain. I used wheat berry.

I went to my neurologist this morning for a wheelchair assessment appointment. I have an electric wheelchair plus my travel scooter already. My electric wheelchair isn’t in the greatest shape. I bought it online and it is so much better than the scooter but it doesn’t go exactly straight. It goes to the left. I’ve learned how to navigate with this issue but it is slightly annoying. The tires also need some help. Needless to say that’s why I was…
