So I'll see it on Wednesday. I hope.


Today was more productive than usual. I finally went to bed at 6 a.m.(after turning clocks back) and got up about 2:30 p.m. I got dressed, had a cup of coffee and a Baby Ruth, then at around 4 o'clock I set out to dodge raindrops and went to Great Harvest (where I was too late for the Pumpkin Swirl bread, so I bought chocolate chip cookies instead), then I went next door to Trader Joe's for four cans of coffee, some chips. olive oil and frozen dinners. From there I went to Fred Meyer for a gallon of milk, paper towels, carrots, sage, KC, and FN.

I didn't get home 'til seven, and my husband wondered what took me so long. "Is that all you did?" he asked accusingly. My Lord, when have I ever given him a reason to mistrust me? This was painful - to ask him, "Don't you trust me?" and hear him answer, "No."

After a short while I asked him if he wanted to talk about it, and I swear, fpr the first time ever so long, he sat down and we talked. He admits to fighting depression. He knows I am not very happy, and he doesn't blame ne - and wouldn't blame me for "looking elsewhere." But I reassured him that that wasn't going to happen. I took my vows seriously, and I know he is the right man for me.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    I hope your hubby talks to his MD and gets something to help him with his depression. Is there a caregiver support group near you? The MS groups are great and if he'll go he will find a lot of support. He needs it just as much as you do. It's a great thing that he opened up to you! At least you already have your halloween shirt for next year! LOL

    Thanks Kimberly,
    Unfortunately he isn't the support group type. He's a loner; a very private person, and an ACOA (adult child of alchoholics), and I think there is a family history of depression as well. This isn't about the MS, it's all about him.

    That said, he has no insurance, therefore no doctor. And with all the returning vets from the Iraq war, I imagine the VA system is swamped. That was his source for antidepressants a number of years ago.

    On a good note, things are much better after we talked. AND my T-shirt came today.

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

Image
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
