Day the Seventeeth


Today was productive, relatively speaking. I went to bed at 4 AM and got up at 10:30 so I could wake up, get dressed, drink WATER - all because I had to have my cath. changed at 11:45. I left the house at 20 past 11 and got there just in time. I didn't even have to wait more than two minutes! I think I have found a time slot that actually works.

After that, I headed to Trader Joe's for coffee (of course) and frozen dinners and cookies (a DH request). He apparently didn't like any of my cookie choices. Funny, I felt the same way about his choices last month. [We try to go to TJ's only once a month, because the store is MADE FOR impulse shoppers! Like me, when I'm hungry. And when I go shopping, 99% of the time I am hungry.]

DH has not been in a cooking mood for a few weeks. This means we have been eating a lot of frozen entrees. Frozen entrees basically come in two flavors: Mexican and Italien. No matter what you name them, they mostly taste the same. Except for the Eggplant Parmagiana - that just tastes gnarly.

Good thing I had coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate for dessert.

Good Night, TTYL, Be Well

More Snow!

That's my big news for y'all. We had a lovely smattering of snowfall, and it was lovely indeed, mostly because I wasn't going out in it, and because it wasn't sticking to the streets around here. So I just sat here in my swivel glider and watched the birds at the feeder outside the window, and we didn't just have sparrows and chickadees today, we had a lovely pair of Steller's Jays that seemed grateful for the free food. We can't use our kitchen sink, and DH is taking his sweet time fixing it. It got clogged Saturday, not with coffee grounds, but with a sludge of oils from the coffee grounds we've washed down the drain for the last 18 years. First he plunged it; then he took the pipe apart to check out the clog; then he went to L0we's to buy a drain auger (a snake) yesterday; this evening he finally starts working on it and discovers that the hot water hose is leaking, so he just got back from L0we's with a replacement and is mumbling in the kitc...

Today is Day One

Tomorrow I have a cath. change at 11:45, followed by my first Solumedrol infusion at this new clinic, which I believe is in the same building at 1:40. I have a friend who is spending a few days with me who will go with me just so she has something to do. I'm sure it will make it go faster. So that's what's up with me, and now I am actually going to go to bed at 1:15 AM. I mean, I'll start to get ready as soon as I sign off here, but I should be in bed and, hopefully, asleep, by 2 AM. Good Night and all that.

Maybe it's Just One of Those Days

I am feeling rather depressed today. My PT, Shannon, pointed out some truths to me about my "lack of compliance" with my exercise routine. She sees right through me. She's good. And she isn't even a specialist with MS! Still, she certainly hit on my buttons, in a very kindly way, as we discussed the ebbs and flows that is MS. Why am I not doing my home exercises? I don't know. Because I don't believe that they will keep me from getting worse, I guess. In my heart of hearts I feel it is inevitable - getting worse. I have seen it - too much of it - it will happen to me, too. And I guess I feel that there's not anything I can do that will change that. So, I don't bother. I started out with high hopes, and I was getting stronger. . . THEN, I got that damned sinus infection which pretty much put me back where I was. I guess I'm feeling, "What's the point?" Of course, I know that  if I continue the way I have been - not doing much of ...
