Winter Olympics 2010 Begin

It will be nice to see some events tomorrow, because I can't wait for the opening ceremony to end. It had a few moments, but none were particularly memorable. It was good that they embraced all of their cultures, including the natives. Of course nothing could compare to the opening of the Summer Games in China which was, in my opinion, insuperable. I want to see Shaun White catch some air, and I want to see Apolo Ohno win more gold medals in short track, and I want to watch the figure skating, just for the artistry.

I like k.d.lang, but could she possibly have sung Hallelujah and more slowly? and, get a tailor, girlfriend. (Okay that was the snarky me coming out. Forgive me.)

I talked to G tonight, and her insurance company wants to cut her off and move her to a group home. I don't think so; she's not near ready to be with amateur caregivers. Her next move is to appeal that decision. So, for now, she stays put. Damned insurance companies.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,

    I tried to watch the whole opening but ended up here instead wasting time on the computer LOL.

    Gosh I missed a slow version of Hallelujah! Darn.

    I guess I will go look for a replay since I am wide awake and have nothing better to do.

    Insurance companies - the almighty bottom line strikes again.

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
