Gardening, music, life with MS
Last Thursday I went to get a shot of steroids in my neck. Unbeknownst to me this was actually a procedure, with preparation; no taking of pain killers for 48 hours before. I had to fill out an online questionaire from the doctors office. I also had to be driven to and from the procedure. […]
It is 3 o’clock on Sunday and I just finished playing Mahjong on my laptop for the past three hours. WHY? Pete left for Savanna yesterday so I have the week to myself. I could have finished at least one of three projects that I’ve started. I could have made phone calls to my daughter, […]
I’m livid. Pete’s new medical insurance is Anthem. Their specialty pharmacy is BioPlus. On December 23 I received a letter, (see below). It said the transfer of my medications would be seamless, even including one of my medications, Dalfampridine ER 10 mg (generic Ampyra). The letter stated that in the next few weeks someone would […]
Yesterday I went to the Orthopedic doctor, Brad Stovall, to find out the results of the MRI on my neck. The wait in the dreaded “room” wasn’t as bad this time. A funny side note is that there was a picture, that which looked to me like a centipede. Duh, realizing a few minutes later […]
Pete went to NC last Friday night and I was on a mission. I can get more work done with him gone. He constantly interrupts my schedule of things I want to do, always on his schedule. I felt really good when I woke up on Saturday. First it was a shower day, in itself […]

We’re back home in VA. We drove back on Friday, left NY at 5 am. Thank God it was a smooth ride all the way. Well almost, upon entering Northern Virginia the traffic was stop and go for the last 2 hours. Now I need a vacation of not doing anything and a break from […]
We’ve been here in NY for two days and my emotions are all over the place. It started with the drive up here. It ended up taking 13 hours, every road we traveled was backed up. Waze took us west from I 495 to 15 to I 81 to I 84. It started snowing while […]
Right now it’s 7:30 am and we’ll be leaving shortly to drive the hell that is 95 North. With luck it can take 6 hours, more likely it will take 9 to 13 hours. Last night I was up until 1, making cookies. I start up every year happy and excited that I’m going to […]
