    A perfectly reasonable, indeed the only reasonable response. Consider me flipping as well.

      Photographer said to "pose." So I flipped the bird. LOL. I goes with my orange FYMS bracelet, which I wear next to my LivStrong bracelet. Both mottoes get me through the days (weeks, months, years...).

    So funny!! I caught the attempts at ASL "I love you" on Diane's blog, but I didn't know you were also giving one finger salutes!
    Peace,

      Re: attempts as ASL - were our thumbs supposed to be showing? LOL
      As you can see, we were much better at the one finger salute.

      We were! It was a good day, and a good visit. I even got to meet KarenLee, and "the chef."

    I think we were all smiling, though Diane has a goofy smirk on her face---that Diane! Yes, I was hoping for a straight from the gut, no thinking, pose. AS I recall, my exact words were, "Let's do something funny," YOU chose a bird, not us. I didn't know you guys were signing sweetness...better planning next time. hahahahaha
    Kim, I WAS very happy. WEbster and Gretchen are terrific people and I am proud to call them: Friends

      Yes, the bird was my idea, as was the ASL love sign, which Gretchen copied from me, and you missed. Yes, better planning next time. This was near the end of our visit, when we were running out of time.

      I thought it was all fun, except for the long drive, which I am happy to still be able to do... for now.

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
