I Love the Olympics, but

I am missing some of my favorite TV shows! Oh well, next week they'll be back.

Also, next week starts with my first PT session. I have scheduled most of them for mid afternoon, but I think Monday's is at 2 PM instead of 3:30. No matter, I (or shall I say we) haven't yet gotten into a routine for me to do my exercises. I do some when standing at the counter, and I can make sure my legs are straight, and my cue for sliding my foot out to the side is "lead with my heel." That usually prompts the proper position. What I need help with are the quad and ham stretches. I might be able to manage the quads by sitting on the side of the bed, but the hams require that my foot remain straight, and it just (since I know I have flat feet I will assume) pronates, meaning I don't get a very good ham stretch.

But we will work this out, some together, and some on my own. I am not a particularly disciplined person; never have been, in anything I ever did. But I always managed. Yep, I managed. Now if NBC can manage to bring back Grey's Anatomy then I won't have to resort to watching Hoarders on NinjaVideo. That show pushes my buttons. You should see my bedroom, er, NO, you shouldn't!

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,

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

Image
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
