Another gorgeous fall day! The temperature is in the mid 60’s, perfect to work outside BUT my knee hurts really bad still so I can’t. My primary physician recommended an ortho doctor and I’ve spent some time seeing if he was covered under my insurance and couldn’t find him listed. This morning I continued to…

Today I would like to let you in on a couple of resources I have found helpful in my journey with MS. The first is a website hosted by Dave Bexfield. He is also a boomer with MS, he has a website, a blog and a newsletter. The second is a website,/magazine put out by…

Well here we are back from the christening in NY. I have to say I’m happy to be home, BUT I’d be happier if my home was in NY! I do love this home and I love the yard, it seems wasted down here with no family or friends to share it with. The main…

Sooo much going on in there that I haven’t been able to sleep. As usual I pass out quickly when I go to bed, but then faithfully anytime between 2 and 4 am, I am awake with my mind going 100 mph. At that point I turn on Nick at Nite, my standby, to watch…

Last week I went for my yearly physical. I really like my primary care doctor, which helps a lot. She also does my gynecological exam, although we skipped this year, (had last year). My bloodwork came out “great, and continue to do whatever I’m doing.” I have an appointment for a mammogram next week, I…

Yesterday my son and his family, including my 4 month old granddaughter left after four wonderful days! It felt so good to have them around, every day waking up and having coffee with them and feeding the baby, holding and kissing her! We actually ate in the dining room, a room, including the formal living…

The other day when I woke up it was 68 degrees outside. Finally, I decided to get dressed and get outside while the temperature was cool. I didn’t eat breakfast or brush my teeth, my goal was to be outside by 8:30, I made it out by 9:00, not too bad. I did have my…

Today I am going to praise my husband for a change. When we moved into this house, the master bedroom was on the main floor, which we wanted. The master bath was nice with the usual tub/shower combination. Since I have a hard time lifting my legs to get in and out of the tub…

As I was sitting down to eat my lunch on Saturday, (same time, 1:30, same lunch, yogurt, strawberries, apple, granola bar, every single day) I put on the TV. As I was searching I saw that Sex in the City was on the E channel. I put it on and next thing I knew it…

According to the new issue of *Brain & Life, (https://www.brainandlife.org/ ), August/September 2020, hugs or touching another human being increases mood-lifting brain chemicals like dopamine, seratonin, and oxytocin, considered the bonding hormone.
