Today was my first day back to Physical Therapy. I told her what had happened to me in the pool and how I can still feel the pain in my left hip. My mistake, I wore a casual sleeveless dress down to my kneess. She had asked me to wear loose clothes and I don’t…

“I’m very healthy, I just have MS” I have quoted this for years. Even as a child, I was rarely sick. Now at 65, things have changed. I’ve been thinking about the different illnesses that have kept me down and they all have something in common. “Ice Pick Headaches,”. I have had these for years.…

146.8, same as April I went to my primary care physician on Tuesday. We discussed what’s been happening with my hip. He didn’t feel I needed X-rays because I didn’t fall down. I have no diagnosis, pinched nerve, sprained muscle? I was told to finish the Prednisone and stop taking the Vicodin. He prescribed Meloxicam…

Previously I mentioned my feet swelling. I brought 4 pairs of sneakers, one I wore on the drive down. Last minute I bought a pair of sandals just in case my feet swelled up some more. Guess what, they did and that’s all I was able to wear. Because of the severe pain I was…

The week is over. My sister in law Jan and husband Joey own a time share for Hilton and were nice enough to invite us and siblings to spend a week with them. We shared a room with his other sister and husband, which worked out well, (we had our own bedrooms and bathrooms). The…

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…
