  • Endocrinologist 2/3/2026

    This was my six month check-in with Dr. Millis, Virginia Endocrinology. I like Dr. Millis, he is always on time, doesn’t keep you waiting in the inner room, is very thorough, asks pertinent questions, answers any questions I have and quickly sends the summary of the visit. I had blood work done in the office.…

  • Monthly Weigh In – Feb.2026/ Mediterranean Diet

    When I got on the scale this morning I wasn’t feeling too positive. Surprise, 138.8. I lost 3.2 lbs. I feel this is significant for me since I have been trying. I started riding my stationary bike while doing reps with 2 lb weights for my arms. I’m not up to 20 minutes yet but…

  • Jean Jackets

    Jean Jackets

    The reason I’m writing about them is because I brought two of them out today to add more pins. I have three Jean jackets. One is an old faded Levi’s jacket. Peter got me one from The Hard Rock in London. It is specifically a Beatles jacket. I had already started to collect pins from…

  • New Doctor

    This week I had an appointment with a new doctor, Dr. Moen. She specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This appointment was made when I was in the hospital in November. Since I have started physical therapy I didn’t understand why I had to see this doctor too. I was going to cancel but it…

  • Coming Home

    Today Pete is coming home. He’s been in Europe for 11 days. I am perfectly happy alone in the house. When he is one I accomplish things. I made a list, (I work better that way) and got everything on the list done and even some extras. I feel good. When Pete is home he…

  • “I Had A Dream

    “I Had A Dream

    A crazy dream.” That’s not unusual for me only this time I remembered. I don’t know where I was, some house or school. There were two men discussing making a movie about the 70’s. I needed to be in the movie. I had several opportunities to approach these men privately. I wanted to say, “I…

  • Trip to Publix

    Trip to Publix

    Yesterday I needed to pick up an Rx from Publix. Usually I go through the drive thru but I also needed food. Pete is now in Prague. Going anywhere by myself with MS takes planning I looked at the circular, B1G1, (they’re great for that), made a list and headed out. My plan was to…

  • Therapy

    I should mention that I tend to see things in black and white, I constantly have to be reminded that nothing is that simple. I was back at therapy with Katy. I told her about the trip and seeing Sister Marion, (1/4/26 post, “Back in VA”). About my hatred for the president and what she…

  • Another Bargain

    While in NY we went to Home Depot. Pete went wherever. I saw they had 75% off all Christmas stuff. Not much left but I found these. 59.98 marked down to 14.92! There were only two and I bought both of them.

  • Monthly Weigh In, January 2026 and Health Update

    Today I am 142 lbs., better than I thought. I will be starting my ChatGPT generated Mediterranian Diet. Lucky for me that I have a shopping list and recipies, no excuses. Now on to my health: I am happy that while away for Christmas I felt very good. Tired but that would be normal for…
