Day the Fifteenth


I can't think of a thing to write about today.

I got the bill for my house taxes yesterday. They are a little less than last year, but not much. But it's better than a kick in the teeth.

No planes crashed in my neighborhood last night, which is a good thing as I live directly under a flight path. (Actually, the only plane that ever crashed on a landing at McChord AFB that I know of happened on a foggy November night in 1952, so that was mentioned only because of what happened in Buffalo NY a few days ago.) It turns out that the one fatality on the ground that was mentioned was a resident of the house the plane landed on. I figured that out on my own. What wasn't mentioned in any of the news reports that I heard was that two other residents of the house survived the crash, with just one broken collar bone between them. The husband who died had just gone to the part of the house that was destroyed. How's that for Karma?

I have been craving chicken lately. I'd bet if I was tested right now, it'd show that I am anemic. Not getting enough complete proteins in my diet lately. It's tough being vegetarian sometimes. You have to cook all the damn time, and DH gets tired of it, so we've been eating a lot of frozen entrees. Heck, I'd settle for a fried egg sandwich.

Good night, TTYL and Be Well.

    Hi Webster,
    I'd say if you're craving chicken, go for it!
    Best,
    Marty

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
