What's up, Doc?


Twice this week I've played with my sleep (non)schedule big time. Since I knew I had an 11:45 AM appointment for a cath. change on Tuesday I decided to sleep in on Monday and get up at around 7:00 PM so I could stay awake all night and then make it to my appointment on time. Hmmm, I can remember the day when that would have been impossible for me - but I did it; not only did I do it, but I was able to go to the grocery store for a few things after my appointment, then take a short nap during dinner hour so I could stay up to see The Biggest Loser at 8:00 PM. [Which was stretched out ridiculously long, IMO - and too bad Tara didn't win, but they all looked fabulous!] I ended up going to bed at about my usual time (5:00 AM) Wednesday morning, and that's when I lose track.

You see, I knew that this was Thursday, and that I wanted to watch Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy, which I did. I also know that I stayed up all day Thursday, and all night Wednesday night/Thursday early morning [it's like counting backwards, huh?]. So I'm thinking that twice this week I've stayed up at least 26 hours. Isn't that the craziest thing you've heard lately?
So, right now it's 12:30 Friday morning e.g. Thursday night. I am feeling tired enough to fall asleep, so will try that just as soon as I finish posting this. Tomorrow after I get up I'll take a shower, then have some coffee, then rest - because taking a shower ennervates me like a summer day - then I'll head out to Trader Joe's. I'll see if I can find the wine I had on Easter at my cousin's house. I found out that it was a Shiraz, and that there's a picture of a wolf on the label, and that the name is a five-letter word beginning with 'H'. Of course I'll also be buying several cans of coffee, and some pineapple salsa, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Now, I'm getting hungry. Oh, the other thing I want to get tomorrow is some Olay foundation - so I have to check the ads to see where I saw that on sale.

Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well

P.S. Don't forget to give me a hug before you go [over there on the left]. I need all the hugs I can get!

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
