Gardening, music, life with MS
My feet started swelling, (espescially the right one) around five years ago. It used to be when I was outside in the heat. Now they swell for no apparent reason. This year they started swelling in April, right now. My right foot and ankle are puffed up like a balloon and the feeling I have […]
That’s me. I am even confused as to what to title this post: Decisions, Decisions; Full Mind, Again; Indecicsions. They are all what I’m going through. First I’ll start with the basic dilemma, which I’ve written about before. The future of my marriage. There are two ways this can go. “Should I Stay or Should […]
I have been back working in the garden the past few weeks. We’ve had a lot of rain and the temperature has gotten quite warm so I’m not getting as much done as I would like . I’ve cleaned four beds out of 19. The pollen is ridiculous. I’ve been wearing a hat because I […]
I have been looking to adopt a new baby. It is not an easy process. This time I wanted a small hairy dog that I could carry and only females, (I think male dogs are gross). It’s important for me to have a rescue dog. There are too many that need homes and I think […]
Last night I had my yearly MRI. This was ordered by Dr. Oh, VCU Neurology in response to my new (google) diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia. He ordered brain and spine, with and without contrast. I made the appointment a month ago and 6:30 in the evening was the soonest I was able to get. I […]
148.8 lbs. Nothing else to say CORRECTION: 146.8, better but not great
A few weeks ago we went to see Paul McCartney’s photo exhibit covering the years of 1963/1964, titled, “Eyes of the Storm.” This is a fairly new exhibit, the first showing was in London. I am so fortunate that the next showing, (first in the US), would be at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA. […]
I’ve started physical therapy for the first time in 8 years. I didn’t want to but Pete thought it would be a good idea because that way I could get a new wheelchair covered by insurance. I agreed, since my last wheelchair prescribed for me is 30 years old, (still in good shape). I am […]
there’s something wrong with me…… I say this because for the past 2 to 3 weeks I’ve been burying my brain playing Mahjong for hours at a time so I don’t have to deal with my frustration. Ever since I cannot download my photos from my iphone into my laptop, I have neglected writing new […]
Yesterday, I took my trusty golf cart, weed bucket, and kneeler outside to get some work done. I wasn’t feeling good, the Trigeminal neuralgia has started again and my legs feel so weak. I started around 3 o’clock. The temperature was around 75. The 1st bed I wanted to work is small, it’s around the […]
