Gardening, music, life with MS
We spent the weekend in NC. I was excited because it would be the first time I’ve been there with furniture! After changing my mind about the dining table, we had finally decided on a live edge table from Crate and Barrel. The living room set was from Ashley Furniture. While we were there for […]
In early March I finally got my new 2024 Toyota Grand Hilander Hybrid. It has the bells and whistles that I wanted including the black wheels. Most important was the automatic rear hatch opening. I had to wait 2 months to get the hand controls installed. My current 2005 Toyota Hilander doesn’t have an automatic […]
I woke up this morning with pain radiating from my left hip through my entire leg, throbbing pain. I was laying on my left side. I rolled over onto my back and it slowly dissipated. I desperately want to sleep on my right side but I won’t. That is the position I was in when […]
I am still looking to adopt my new little friend. I have been using the website PetFinder.com This has not been productive. Every pet I’ve applied for, I’ve heard nothing back and one even came back on weeks after I applied. There is nothing in my applications that woud affect my ownership for a new […]
144.6, this has been going on for almost a year. A pound or two down and then up again. Last month I wrote that I stopped eating out of boredom and not eating when I’m not hungry. This month I’ve been trying to not eat anything that has no nurtritional value. That encompasses A LOT […]
I love cut flowers in my house. Better yet, when they come out of my garden. Two weeks ago Kroger’s had a dozen roses for 6.99. You can’t go wrong, right? For lack of my favorite color roses, (yellow), I bought cream ones. They looked beautiful for about four days before they started dropping, drooping, […]
I finally got my new wheelchair! It was delivered on Tuesday morning. It’s very different than my existing wheelchair. This one is aluminum instead of titanium. I have no leg attachments, which I never used. There is a curved bar that goes straight down with a folding foot rest. I was able to choose a […]
A couple of weeks ago, (4th of July week) we stayed at our home in Wilmington, North Carolina. We were on a mission to buy furniture. I wanted to spend time in the pool. Needless to say, all week was spent furniture shopping. On Friday, (we were leaving the next day) I finally got to […]
I’m pleased, 143.4, almost down 2 lbs. Not much but something. I have been watching what I eat and I made a major change. It used to be that if I was full and Pete brought out ice cream, carrot cake or some other sweet I would eat it. Now I recognize when I’m full […]
When I returned to physical therapy the following week there was a complete attitude change. My PT, Jessica, addressed my concerns about strengthening my core to hopefully stand up straighter. I was given printouts of stretches and exercises to do daily, (see below). She stated that because of the arthritis in my hips, it might […]
