Gardening, music, life with MS
I have had my DNA tested through Ancestry.com and was a member for a little while. During that time I have made a family tree with the information I had and also learned from my eldest cousin. I had also bought my kids test kits and they did theirs. The wonderful thing about Ancestry is […]
Nope and nope. Since returning from NY I have not been tracking my calories on My Fitness Pal, and have not gotten back on my stationary bike. I was doing pretty good while P was gone, but still not recording calories. Since he came back bearing gifts of chocolate nougat and 8 different bars of […]
This is the third day that I’ve not been feeling good. On Wednesday I was back to volunteering at the garden and it felt good. On Thursday I woke up feeling exhausted and had a hard time getting out of bed, although I slept good. My yearly mammogram was scheduled for 10 am and I […]
When I got home I was dreading getting on the scale. I totally blew it! I had cake, lots of cake, I had a few cocktails and wine. I also had French fries, pizza, candy, and BBQ. To my surprise I was 4 ounces less than last month, 136.4. That’s my scale, not the doctors. […]
All my worries were for nothing! The party was a big success. First and foremost he was surprised! All but 3 people invited came. Here is the rundown: I was worried about Hurricane Ian. He didn’t hit NY until Monday: I was doubting my choice of venue. The owner Joe was fabulous! He did set […]
The 60th surprise party I’m having for P is this Saturday. More people than I intended are coming and I’m happy about that! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I don’t know if it will be a surprise, I didn’t mention it on the invitation. He is not giving me a hard time about anything, […]

This one can help restore protection that might have decreased since the original. It is stronger and provides […]
I was looking forward to this because I had several questions for my doctor. First of all, I like this doctor, a general practitioner, a female who also does my gynecological checkup. She remembers me and is aware of the challenges I face. I am totally honest with her and she is the same. Example […]
This is how I am feeling. I can’t stop eating. I’m always hungry. After a 6:00 dinner of baked salmon, steamed broccoli w/lemon juice and a yam, and a cappuccino at 7:30. Less than 2 hours later P brings in a bag of lime tortilla chips and carrot hummus , I totally pig out. It […]
For the past week I’ve been feeling dizzy. My equilibrium is off more than usual. I almost fell getting out of the shower. Luckily I had the safety towel bar to grab onto. Automatically I tense up, feeling like I will fall and I hate that feeling. Each time this happens, I’ve been able to […]
