I Lost More than my Memory

I just realized today that it was September. With that realization comes the thought that there's something I need to do.  Something I need to do, in September. I have been waiting until this month to do it, and now that September is here I can't think of what IT is!






It's not my meeting, because I remember that. I remember that I have a meeting and I have to make and bring a salad, and my baby picture, and I hope nothing else. (perhaps I should check). So, what could it be?





It's not my doctor appointment, because I remember that I have an appointment to see my neuro on the 20th. I need to check to make sure that a new referral from my PCP was made, and fill out a new intake form, but it's not that. I remember all that.

So what is it that I've forgotten?




I think it is my cell phone!
I need to add more minutes to my pay as you go Tracfone!

Guess what! They expired on the seventh.

That was four days ago.

I went to renew them online, and I can't remember the password.
Or the PIN number.
Or where the paperwork is.
Or where to even look for the numbers.



So I guess I just lost several hours worth of minutes on my phone.

Until I can get to the store to buy some more, I should give it a charge.
So at least,  if I get stranded anywhere, I can always call 9-1-1.

Modern gadgets.

We need them.

I hate them.

They own us.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,

    Hi Webster,
    I know what you mean ... it's so easy to get distracted these days, to forget about details like cell phone minutes and etc.!
    Best,
    Marty

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
