Making Plans


Why is it that these days, if I am to go anywhere, I have to think of my day and plan it out in detail? Tomorrow, I am finally meeting up with my sorority sister to get that cell phone I was talking about. I also have to buy the rolls for Easter dinner, deposit a couple of checks, buy cat food - obviously I need to make a list. Sigh. Nothing stays in my brain anymore.

Saturday I am going to Seattle, as I said, and will be having dim sum somewhere, before going to the W.L. Asian Museum family room dedication ceremony. I know that my sister-in-law will appreciate that I made the effort to be present. She has been so helpful to me in the past, I can't imagine blowing this off. I'm a little pissed at DH for showing no interest, but he has redeemed himself. You see, my back tires were bald. Nearly shiny bald, and he worries about me and my safety, so he took care of that by getting two new tires yesterday, and having them rotated and balanced and all that so the car will be safe for freeway driving. Yay, new tires.

I have to decide what to wear tomorrow, and Saturday, and Easter. I hate this because I am always cold. Is that an MS thing? Do any of you have this problem? If so, tell me. Sometimes I think I'm going nuts. Tomorrow I won't need to dress too warmly, but Saturday I'll be both inside and outside a bit. Sunday - my cousin's house is always freezing. OK, to be honest she keeps her thermostat at 62, but that's freezing to me - so I know to wear lots of layers.

I'm also going to have the time to have a good talk with my friend. I know she'll do whatever she can to help me clear out my horrible mess of a room. Once that's done I need to have DH clean, as in deep clean, it and prepare to paint it - whether it's "ready" for paint or not. Then I will get my new mattress and bedspread from IKEA, and change beds. This will take some time, but I'm nothing if not patient. MS has taught me that.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    Seattle on the weekend, eh? Should I alert any particular police precinct?!? LOL

    I'm quite certain I have missed many important details here over the past month...hopefully I can now keep up at a better pace...or die trying. :-)

    I hope you have a safe trip to Seattle. I don't know about the "always cold" bit. My body temp seems to fluctuate quickly which can be rather annoying. Sounds fun to be getting a new bed AND a freshly painted room. Very nice.

    Linda - don't you dare try so hard to keep up that you die - snot worth it! As for which precinct - I'd alert the International District. When my friend and I get together, who knows what will happen!

    Lisa - I look forward to my hot flashes! I wish I had more of them - but alas they only occur when I stay up late at night. @ AM warm surges. Love 'em.

    Yes I am cold most of the time so I try to wear more layers. I thought the heat was bad but now the cold seems to be the same but different.

jinxed !!

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
