6/23 I am tired. It’s 11:30 am. When you have MS, everything is so challenging. I was in the bathroom cutting my toenails, actually sitting on the toilet bowl, (the light is good).  I went into the bedroom to get dressed and all of a sudden I had to pee, really bad! You would think…

6/21 I’m a little bored today, feeling like a prisoner, usually I feel this way in August. It’s too hot to go outside plus I couldn’t even if I wanted to, I could hardly walk with my knee.I don’t want to go to the doctor, but if it keeps up I will. Still haven’t contacted…

6/20 First day of summer!  It’s been rainy here the past couple of days so I haven’t been outside. Plus,  I have a new pain.  My left knee is swollen and it is harder to walk than usual.  Tooth update; I forgot, the dentist told me to stop the pain medication on Sunday, 6/14 and…

6/17 Living with no affection from your mate is hard.  Living with no affection for 10 years is excruciating.  No hugs, kiss on the cheek, playfulness, flirting, no sparkle in the eyes, no rubbing feet, back, neck, not to mention being intimate. We live in a type of unspoken partnership.  I didn’t sign up for…

6/12 Time flies.  Here we are back home already.  I have to say going to NY and back is our fastest time yet. 6 hours each way, of course its not during the holidays, which is when we usually drive up.  Visit was very nice.  Every day we spent with my son, girlfriend and new…

6/3 Today is going to be 95, agh, too hot, too soon.  It is very ironic to me that before I had MS, it was never too hot for me, ever!  I thrived in the heat, I was in my element at the beach, (I am a water sign).  Water anywhere around me and I…

6/1 Still have shooting pains, called dentist and they can not it me in and suggested another location. I called the other location and they were surprised that after 2 procedures, mine wouldn’t fit me in.  I agree, I’m a little pissed. Obviously they missed something.  I’ve been told by a few people that sometimes…

5/28 Still having shooting pains. I won’t call dentist till tomorrow and ask if there could possibly be another source, and why am I still having pain!? Today I’m going to talk about loneliness.  Since we moved to Virginia, 9 years ago, I have made no friends.  No one to go shopping with, or the…

5/27 Well I had my 2nd root canal a little while ago.  I m praying that the pain will go away and I can eat whatever I want again. You would think between the 2 root canals and esophagitis I would’t be eating as much.  Well that would be wrong.  Just an excuse for more…

5/26 Not a good day, (see gardening). Over the last 2 days I haven’t been able to physically accomplish what I wanted.  So I came inside and took out my adult coloring books and spent the rest of the afternoon “burying my brain”.  That’s what I call what happens to me when I get depressed. …
