Gardening, music, life with MS
My MS doctor has repeatedly requested that I show up with my walker instead of the wheelchair since I use the walker at home. I haven’t because it is a long walk to the elevator from being dropped off at the outpatient building entrance. Today I decided to surprise him and show up using the […]
I was reading the paper a couple of weeks ago, (I don’t remember when or what paper), I saw a small blurb about Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Page collaborating on Led Zeppelin’s song, “Rock’n Roll.” This I had to see for myself. Sure enough, there is a recording, (no video) of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VfSIUPHPG0. […]
I’m surprised yet again, 137.2, amazing. I had my 6 month appointment with my MS doctor and they weighed me and it came up 143, I was fully clothed with black leather boots on, so I’m estimating the middle, about 140. Still not counting calories or exercising. I want to mention that the doctors office […]
I was looking for a craft fair, hopefully a local church fair to set up at. The nearby Catholic church was having theirs, which is what I wanted, until I learned the fee was $50.00 and it would be outside. Last year I was lucky that I found an Angelican Catholic church whose fee was […]
On Sunday, we are heading back to NY. The main reason is that P is going to help my son install his new kitchen cabinets and front door. We will be staying at my sons house again. I am more comfortable staying there since the last time. On Thanksgiving we are going to Long Island […]
Christina Applegate has been on the news lately talking about her diagnosis of MS. I remember hearing it before and I felt so bad because she had previously battled breast cancer. She will be finishing up her show, “Dead to Me” because of her diagnosis and the inability to function as well as she wants […]
P is back from Brazil/Argentina. The week before he was in Lisbon, then onto Johannesburg. I feel good when he is gone. I’m more motivated and I accomplish more. I attribute this to his constant criticism, being told what “I should do,” and no validation for the things I do accomplish. When he is not […]
Autumn is my favorite time of year. I welcome the cooler temperatures and the ability to work outside in the garden. We got married in October. Our honeymoon was a road trip through Skyline Drive into the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. The feeling I get when I see the trees changing to different colors is […]
Unbelievable! I fully expected a weight gain, I haven’t logged my calories in over a month and have pigged out on cake, candy, nachos, etc. (see 10/24, Diet and Exercise post). Much to my surprise the scale read 135.6! How can that be? Is my scale broken? To check, I went and weighed myself on […]
Tomorrow is the midterms. For the past week, that’s all they talk about on TV. It is important because it could give power back to the Republicans. If the party was as it used to be, I wouldn’t have a problem, but the Trump Republican’s, there I said it, are very scary. They are still […]
