Tomorrow Pete’s brother and wife are coming to spend the night before heading down to Hilton Head. They have never been here and of course I want the house to look perfect, ok clean and neat. I’ve been doing a little every day. I just finished the vanity in the master bathroom and I can…

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 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

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…

This morning I had my followup appointment. I haven’t been sleeping well, (what else is new). When I went to bed last night I felt a jolt of pain from the Trigeminal Neuralgia and got up right away to take the medicine. I am so paranoid of moving, laying down, whatever motion that would trigger…

143.2 lbs., thought it would be more.
