Edited to add: Good Lord! Can you tell I'm Brain Dead?


Watching the Biggest Loser last night, I got attacked by a case of the munchies. But I fought them off - I went to bed shortly after. Slept like the dead. Perhaps this was because I had stayed up all night the night before, and then went to F.M. for pet food and Kettle Chips, then to Tr. Joe's for coffee and, er, tortilla chips. The cart thingy was in use at TJ's so I shopped with my walker, stood while I ground my four cans of coffee, searched two aisles for the pineapple salsa (they're always moving things around in that store - grrr.) then I checked out, only to realize as I loaded the car that I had forgotten crackers. Impressed that I still felt okay, and after checking my watch and seeing I still had time, I went back in and picked them up.

I made it on time for my appointment at the urologist's office for a cath. change. Even that went more quickly and easily than usual, not that it's ever bad. On the way home I realized by the rumble in my tummy that I hadn't eaten ANYTHING since about 6 PM the night before, and it was just past noon. So I opened a box of crackers from that last bag that didn't make it into the trunk of the car. I didn't scarf them down, I let several be enough, and arrived home ready for a cup of coffee. Which I enjoyed.

So, I got the munchies during the Biggest Loser (go figure) - but I did not succumb. For once.

    Thank you Michael. I was going to try for another straight month of blogging, but made it only four days this time. Perhaps in February.

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
