Gardening, music, life with MS
Right now I am in the dog days of summer. High 90 to 100 degrees. Needless to say I’m not working in the yard. Below are some new blooms and continuing blooms: “Cheyenne,” Coneflower; Lilies; Crape Myrtles; Hydrangeas; False Sunflowers; “Hot Raspberry,’ Dwarf Butterfly Bush, (Buddleia); Bee Balm
My love of flowers doesn’t stop in the garden. For me, having fresh flowers in the house are a must. I love when I have flowers as a centerpiece on the table and throughout the house. Every time I enter a room, I smile, feel grateful and marvel at the beauty. I take care of […]
MRI Music – I asked for “classic rock” and that’s what I got, It was loud, to try and block out the banging, of course it didn’t work, but I could still hear it clearly. I was on the 7th song, not a good guess, when they pulled me out to put in the contrast. […]
Now I’m heading into the machine with my Hannibal Lecter mask on. I was told it would be 30 minutes total, that with and without contrast. So because I have to count everything, to make sense, I start counting songs, I figured 6 or 7 songs would take about 30 minutes. My eyes are closed […]
If I didn’t have MS.…..….GET OVER IT! As I was waiting to be escorted in to get my MRI, (appointment was at 10:25, they asked to come in at 9:25, needless to say I was pissed because I had to sit there for an hour) Anyway, the thoughts started. I wanted to use my walker […]
At my six month check up with my neurologist, MS doctor, he stated that he wanted me to receive this medicine. It was explained to me that along with another COVID-19 booster, (In my case Moderna), I needed to do both. The reason being is that by receiving Ocrevus, which depletes my B levels, which […]
This month 138.8 lbs. exactly one pound less. I didn’t expect this number, if anything I thought I might have gained a few pounds. I take it with a grain of salt because its just a pound, it could be the time of day I weighed myself. I got out of the habit of doing […]
My friend from the garden treated me to the movie for my birthday. It is 2 1/2 hours long and kept my attention for the entire time. I ended up in tears. Elvis was really before my time but everyone knows Elvis. I have two of his albums, Greatest Hits and a Christmas album. My […]
“they say its your birthday, it’s my Birthday too, yeah……” Yup it is my 64th birthday. I’ll be at the garden volunteering. P asked me where I wanted to go for dinner, I don’t know. Unfortunately I still get excited by birthdays. I want my family and friends around, not likely this year and thats […]
Happy Birthday to Ringo Starr, the oldest member of The Beatles. 82 years old, wow, Paul was just 80! He too is so admirable. Still touring, still has his droll sense of humor. I saw Ringo and his Allstar Band years ago when I still lived in NY. It was at Radio City Music Hall […]
