The Adventures of a Cardboard Box


Don't you wish for simpler times?  One buys too much stuff for children these days. This is special. Takes just several minutes to enjoy.





Then remember that all good things must come to an end.

Even MS relapses from hell.

I finished my treatments today.  I am tired, not wired. So far I would say that I am back to baseline; perhaps a bit better, though I did want more. I wanted magic to take me back about ten years. Alas. At   least, so far, I have been transported back about two weeks.

But I am going to be okay.

I hope that you enjoy this short video.

Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well,

    what a great video... the ol cardboard box! my brother & i used to love getting our hands on a good box.

    i'm glad you got to reset even if only back 2 weeks. i remember when i did the solu medrol, i was hoping for more recovery than i got... i guess stopping the damage and getting a little back is better than naught.

    feel better!

    If all good things must come to and end . . . I posit all bad things must come to and end.

    Thinking out of the box - yeah we do a lot of that here now days.

    Glad it is looking up for you.

      My brain feels pretty squished inside of a box; there must have been some reason I ran across that YouTube video.

    Loved the video. We just recently went through this with our two little ones. Their father said, "And we buy them toys why?"
    Happy to hear you're starting to feel better.
    Peace,

      Glad you liked it, Muff. I watch this and just shake my head at all the stuff my nephews "need."

      The five days was worth it, IMO.

    I LOVED the video. So much fun. So much imagination.
    Cats and children LOVE boxes don't they.
    I am glad that your treatment is over and that there has been some improvement. Hopefully it will continue.

      Thank goodness for drugs that do what they're supposed to do.

      You wouldn't believe what I am doing with a box right now! LOL (It's art, for God's sake.)

      Yay, indeed. Other than not feeling happy, and feeling tired, I feel happy about the results.

    I'm a bit late to the party here, but I hope you're feeling much better by now?

    For some reason I can't get the video to play. Blast!

      Try looking for it over at YouTube. That's where I found it.

      I wish I was doing better; time will tell.

jinxed !!

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
