Wow! I have followers!


Well, I don't want to disappoint anyone, but at least for the time being I am still going to write to the "ether." You know, the unknown masses. It's easier for me that way - to write for just myself - to vent to nobody - to pretend total anonymity. So while I really appreciate your comments, I probably won't always respond to them. Just sayin' don't take it personally. Okay?

But two followers, and I haven't been up a whole month yet!

So. That said - I've been thrown a curve ball today. The presidential debate is starting, and I don't want to miss it. This is the most exciting election I can remember. There is such a need for change from what has happened to our country in the past eight years, and while I liked McCain in 2000, I don't feel he is the same man. He's been changed by the Republican Party. And I can't even fathom a President Sarah Palin. But that's my opinion. Just make sure you vote your conscience.

I say I've been thrown a curve ball because it messes with my planned schedule for the evening. I was going to watch Atonement, then Private Practice, then take a shower, then eat dinner (cuz that's when Hubs gets it ready) and go to bed no later than 3 AM. I have to get up at 10:30 tomorrow because I have an appointment at 11:30 for a cath change. And I have to pick up my Copaxone at the pharmacy, and go to Trader Joes to get coffee because we're out. Coffee is a line item in my budget - but I try to limit my intake to two cups a day. Two strong cups. With milk and sugar. Oh, and I have to mail bills tomorrow too.

It sure has gotten cold early this Fall. If there's one thing worse than being too warm, it's being too cold. When I'm cold my muscles tighten and I tend to have more spasms, which leads me to take more baclofen, which eventually messes with my head. On the other hand, when I get too warm (which wasn't a problem this summer in the Tacoma area this year), I can always put on a cooling vest, and while I'm weaker, I can still function comfortably. But for me to be comfortable this Fall means I have to layer, layer and layer. What the hell am I going to do when Winter arrives?! I need more fleece.

Anyway, thanks for reading my drivel.

Good night, TTYL and Be Well.

    Don't feel bad about posting what you refer to as "drivel" because that's pretty much what I post too. :)

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
