  • They Say it’s your Birthday – Dieting with MS cont.

    Yup, it’s my birthday, 63 years old. I made an appointment on August 6 to see if I would be a good candidate for using lasers on my face. It’s called laser resurfacing. If it will make a difference, I’m going for it. My skin is so damaged from years and years of sunbathing and…

  • Sleepless in Glen Allen

    The other day I said I was going to see if I slept better with no TV in the bedroom. I did one night and therefore I was hoping it would continue. Alas, it did not. The one night was it. That night I was awake most of the night and when I came home…

  • Electronically Challenged

    My husband has been gone for 2 weeks, tomorrow he is coming home. Since the very first day he’s been away, things have broken and stopped working for no apparent reason. The first thing that happened was the pond had drained. The pump was still working, whatever little water was in there was going through.…

  • In a Fog

    I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I had a list, and I’ve accomplished things on it, but I’m in a daze. My head is not clear, I’m all fuzzy. I went to write a check and my hands weren’t cooperating. Its not the first time. My hands do act up and my arms,…

  • MS and Breast Implants

    I had saline breast implants in 1986, about 35 years ago. At that time I had had my 2 kids and was left with very saggy boobs. I went from a B cup to a C cup, nothing crazy. I was pretty happy except I lost feeling in my nipples, which really sucked, (no pun…

  • Gratitude

    Yesterday I had an appointment with my eye doctor located in Short Pump. I drive there frequently, that is where I got my MRI. It’s been 2 years since I’ve been to the eye doctor and I want to get new glasses. I was nervous about going: would I find the right entrance; I had…

  • The Dream is Gone

    The other day I was so happy, we started to finalize our plans for the home in NC. While we were on the phone we were told, yet again, that the price had gone up from our last dated quote in March of this year from 414,000 to 424,000. When we first went down to…

  • Dieting with MS – June Update

    After a setback from last month, when we traveled to NY, I’ve been back following the app, My Fitness Pal, the free version. I’m weighing myself monthly, usually between the 6th and 8th of each month. I honestly wasn’t expecting any loss because I’ve gone over the 1200 calories a day a few times. I’ve…

  • MRI

    This morning I had an MRI of brain, neck and spine. It’s been at least 2 years so I’m happy that he ordered new ones. They were with and without contrast. This time they put the IV in before I even went into the MRI. This was a smart move, previously they have always waited…

  • My Mind is Full Again

    So many things to do and nothing to do. My head is ready to explode! I’m not sleeping well. I go to sleep easy and wake up anywhere from 1 to 4, watch some TV to try and stop my mind and sometimes I fall back asleep and sometimes I don’t. I am overwhelmed thinking…
