Christmas Eve 2012

Merry Christmas to all.

I have been awake since 1 AM, as I slept most of yesterday. I don't feel sleepy right now. I am having my second latte of the day, but no matter, I have been known to fall asleep while drinking one. I don't think I am very sensitive to caffeine. I will take a shower before bed, and try to get to sleep at a decent time this evening.

DH's alarm is going off right now. We'll see how long he sleeps in today. I jusst finished making cookies, but I need help getting them in and out of the oven without burning myself. Sitting in the walker puts me in an awkward position, so... I'll just wait for him to get up and awake before I (we) start baking them. He'll love me for it, I'm sure.

I'm listening to Pandora; I have a rotation of a variety of instrumental Christmas music playing quietly. We just got a phone call from my niece that DH's sister is in the hospital. She is the one with COPD and asthma. I guess we will be visiting her up at St. Joe's later. I know we won't be going to DH's brother's for dinner tonight. It's likely that we will be going to my cousin's for dinner tomorrow. It's also possible that we will have a partially white Christmas.  Whoopee! So much good and bad in that paragraph. I guess that's the circle of life.

My MS seems to be giving me crap lately. I did manage to go to the Christmas dinner last Thursday. I made it up the three steps into the house with just a little difficulty.Tomorrow there are three steps also, but they are a bit steeper. I will put on my LiveStrong bracelet to channel some energy. Can't hurt, right?

I need to write a thank you card to my secret Santa for the lovely shawl and earrings she gave me. I  also need to renew my Tracfone before the end of the month. And I just know there's something else I have to do but am forgetting. Well, it'll come to me.

Happy Holiday to you all,

    Cookies, warm cookies, nice. I wish for you a Merry-MS-Easy Christmas and better health to your family. I kind of was hoping for snow here, no dice. :) Cute baby pic.

      Still have some of the cookies. They're delicious, if I do say so myself. I like them better than my regular chocchip cookies, and they are easier to make!

      Glad Christmas has come and gone, but it was a good one.

    Merry Christmas to you and your DH! Love Frosty's baby pic tee hee.

    Just a small family Christmas day planned here. My folks, KRP, and I will have the traditional gift opening later this morning and dinner. My mom is baking ham and the fixings - KRP made cookies to take over- they are super tasty. I know this because (shhh) I sneaked a few late last night.

      I did have a good Christmas, but my energy seems to be waning. Alas.

      Forgot to wear it, but only needed it to get up off the 'stool'. That was a nightmare, and for a false alarm at that.

    You made cookies? Yummy.

    I am sorry about DH's sister. My mom went to the hospital too, we took her to ER... and it is hard.

    I'm calling the Neuro PA Tuesday and requesting a wait till March. =) After some researching I prefer the other oral drug with the ugly name. =) Happy New Year!

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
