I am a procrastinator. Every year my husbands company gives you until the end of September to accomplish four or five health related items to complete and they will give you $200 towards your medical savings plan. Of course he finishes everything on time and bugs me to complete mine. One of these items is…

Since we came back from our trip I haven’t been feeling very well. I might be tired from the trip, which I am sure I am, and that maybe has triggered some symptoms to flare up. I could be feeling weaker as a result of bad eating or lack of exercise. I always have to…

Home to me will always be the lower Hudson Valley in New York. Our trip North went very well. The traffic on 95 wasn’t too bad. We got there early enough to see our granddaughter. I got to see her every day we were there and I am so joyful about that. She is walking,…

We are heading to New York tomorrow morning to see our granddaughter, who is now walking! I really can’t wait. First thing in the morning I am having my hair cut. I am thinking of doing something drastic like very very short and letting the grey come in full time, or more likely a true…

In my day to day activities at some level, I have accepted the fact that I have MS. I still do my crafts, gardening to an extent, cook, shop, and volunteer. I have no hesitation using my wheelchair, that is freedom for me. I use my hand controls in my Highlander because again, it is…

This is about my experience taking Gilenya for around 8 years. When I turned 60 my doctor and I decided to test which medications I’d been taking, were actually helping me and which, I could possibly do without. I already knew that I needed to stay on Baclofen from my experience having the Baclofen pump…

After I wrote yesterday’s post, I realized that I was judging myself pretty harshly. I had just stated that I didn’t care how anyone danced, as long as they were having fun, I didn’t care what they looked like on the dance floor. Next thing I was saying how stupid I thought I looked and…

We all know, (probably not, since no one reads this blog) that the two things that I miss more than anything else, since my legs don’t work, is hiking and dancing. This post is about dancing, again, because I’m still getting upset and resentful when put in a position where there is dancing. This time…

Here it is August already and I have not restarted my diet since my cousin C(2) came and we ate barbecue. We’ve eaten out several times and I didn’t hold back. I had whatever I wanted including a strawberry Margarita and a waffle cone with two huge scoops of ice cream! The last two places…
