Gardening, music, life with MS
I have to pee, real bad, all of a sudden. As I push my walker towards the bathroom, I’m saying “please God let me make it, Please?” I sit down, say, “thank you” and nothing! This happens every day, its called hesitation. I am taking Trospium Chloride ER caps, 60 mg. once daily in the […]
Since my essay was published in Brain & Life, I have received several responses. I’m thrilled that all of them have been positive. I also have notifications that two people have subscribed. I have responded to the comments made, (approved and replied) some I thanked for their input and others I answered questions, I have […]
I have a love/hate, no I don’t, I certainly don’t love and I don’t altogether hate social media. Social media boggles my mind. I find it too much to take in. I’m a self titled “phone-o-phobe,” so why would I like people expecting me to quickly reply to a text, and then feel guilty for […]
In the meantime I have been planning a surprise 60th birthday party for P in October. His birthday is the 2nd and I’m planning it for Saturday the 1st. I had previously sent his family a save the date email. I’ve been speaking to my son because he will be handling most of it since […]
I haven’t written anything in a week and I feel bad about it. I had two responses since my essay was published in the August/September issue of Brain & Life. Both were complimentary about the gardening. I answered both hoping to keep up a dialog, and feeling neglectful that maybe they had written back and […]
In early June of this year I wrote an article for Brain & Life, www.Brain&Life.org (I have mentioned this magazine previously). In the back of the magazine is an area titled, Speak Up, where people write about their experiences living with a neurological disorder. This is what I wrote the article for. I wanted to […]
We, meaning all Americans, are having a serious crisis. I feel like I am living in two different societies. One is the politically usual, meaning operating as we always have, under one (hopefully) unifying President and lawmakers, again hopefully working for our concerns. This means compromise by both parties to try and get things done. […]
135 lbs! Yes, finally some progress, (3 lbs). I have been sticking to my daily 1200 calories, plus I have been riding the exercise bike, 2 miles daily and lifting 2 lb weights for multiple reps throughout pedaling. I don’t ride on volunteer days, (Wed. & Fri) although I could in the afternoons. By adding […]
We moved down here about 12 years ago. I have had an extremely hard time making friends. Girlfriends are very important to me. Having a friend to do things with helps me physically and mentally. Having someone to commiserate with, laugh and have fun with, and share interests with is priceless to me. I am […]
Here I go again. I haven’t done anything that I need to do. I need to upload pictures from my phone and put into new albums and also resize. I’m intimidated and feel overwhelmed. I get very frustrated when working on the computer. I also need to sign up for another month of one on […]
