Bullet Items (to catch you up)

  • i still  haven't heard from my doc re: the mobility assessment, and I haven't done anything about that this week.
  • that's probably because i have to have a colonoscopy friday; nothing fills your week with dread more than that.
  • unless it is this: i went out to my car wednesday so i could go to the pharmacy to pick up the Suprep stuff (that I have to drink to clear me out), and the car won't start. this is why i was concerned about going to Seattle last week. my car is 24, and not very well. i'm letting it rest until i'm done with the, well, you know.
  • i just finished the first half of the prep. i'm tired, and i wanna go to bed which i will do as soon as i finish this.
  • you know what? i am so tired that i can't type worth a shit right now, so i will post this as a kind of teaser and let you know later how ...it all comes out.
Good Night and TTYL

    Can't WAIT! I want a colo so bad! Just so many transfers I'd have to do...how many? I must know. I'll fast liquid b4...how do they expect ppl in wheelchairs to do the prep. KK did it, I am so jealous. She didn't have to drink all the prep either. Bitch. (oh, sorry) I'll be on the edge of my loo waiting to hear how it goes. Have you done it b4? Good luck, mate! CHEERS!

    good luck. Lots of it. And I came across a wonderful word for explaining our form of fatigue 'exhaustipation' which was defined as too tired to give a sh_t.

More Snow!

That's my big news for y'all. We had a lovely smattering of snowfall, and it was lovely indeed, mostly because I wasn't going out in it, and because it wasn't sticking to the streets around here. So I just sat here in my swivel glider and watched the birds at the feeder outside the window, and we didn't just have sparrows and chickadees today, we had a lovely pair of Steller's Jays that seemed grateful for the free food. We can't use our kitchen sink, and DH is taking his sweet time fixing it. It got clogged Saturday, not with coffee grounds, but with a sludge of oils from the coffee grounds we've washed down the drain for the last 18 years. First he plunged it; then he took the pipe apart to check out the clog; then he went to L0we's to buy a drain auger (a snake) yesterday; this evening he finally starts working on it and discovers that the hot water hose is leaking, so he just got back from L0we's with a replacement and is mumbling in the kitc...

Today is Day One

Tomorrow I have a cath. change at 11:45, followed by my first Solumedrol infusion at this new clinic, which I believe is in the same building at 1:40. I have a friend who is spending a few days with me who will go with me just so she has something to do. I'm sure it will make it go faster. So that's what's up with me, and now I am actually going to go to bed at 1:15 AM. I mean, I'll start to get ready as soon as I sign off here, but I should be in bed and, hopefully, asleep, by 2 AM. Good Night and all that.

Maybe it's Just One of Those Days

I am feeling rather depressed today. My PT, Shannon, pointed out some truths to me about my "lack of compliance" with my exercise routine. She sees right through me. She's good. And she isn't even a specialist with MS! Still, she certainly hit on my buttons, in a very kindly way, as we discussed the ebbs and flows that is MS. Why am I not doing my home exercises? I don't know. Because I don't believe that they will keep me from getting worse, I guess. In my heart of hearts I feel it is inevitable - getting worse. I have seen it - too much of it - it will happen to me, too. And I guess I feel that there's not anything I can do that will change that. So, I don't bother. I started out with high hopes, and I was getting stronger. . . THEN, I got that damned sinus infection which pretty much put me back where I was. I guess I'm feeling, "What's the point?" Of course, I know that  if I continue the way I have been - not doing much of ...
