Oh Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Chinese New Year




Gung Hay Fat Choi, the year of the Tiger.

AND ...


Yeah, it's that time of year - Valentine's Day. I've never been a fan of this day of romance because, until I got married (at 31), I never had a real boyfriend with which to celebrate it, so it brings with it deep seated memories of being alone. I'm so happy those days are over.


I am enjoying watching the Winter Olympics. It just amazes me what these athletes can do with their bodies. Yeah, yeah. I know. This coming from a cripple who is pleased when she gets up from her chair and reaches for her crutch and carries a cup to the kitchen without a wobble. Wax eloquent, Crip!

But that Chinese couple in pairs skating! Amazing performance from two who are in their mid to late 30s! A flawless performance. Deserving of its score of 79. It makes my knees hurt just watching these guys (and women, too) skiing the moguls - too many bumps for any body to withstand. I predict hot tubs and Ben Gay in their future.

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

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
