What's Happenin' Lately

HAPPY FALL EVERYBODY!




Isn't it amazing how fast it has made it through this season? I used to love kicking though the leaves that weren't swept up on the sidewalks, and collecting horse chestnuts and buffing them to a nice shine. When I was a kid I planted several right next to the side of our house, and my Mom got mad at me because by then then, in one year, they were two feet tall! At least they were easy to pull out.

 I've had a rough patch lately with more optic neuritis. This is impacting both my blogging and my reading of all those mysteries and 1000 books DH loaded on my laptop.Talk about bad timing. Fortunately I have had the occasional day when the ON abates and I can read or do the Zen thing,  but I have to be careful because I am also noticing a bit of double vision. My MS sucks for sure.

Right now I am working on a 9x11 piece which I plan to mat and frame to hang somewhere; perhaps in the hall or maybe in my bedroom. Since no one ever comes to visit me I'm thinking the bedroom, but the hall would be nice to eventually have a series of them in different sizes from the 3 1/2 " ones to the 4" ones to some 5x7s or 4x8s and around a 9x11, all with a blue mat which is opposite of the gold in the wallpaper in the hall and finished with a thin black frame. Of course I have to look at them before I buy to see if that looks okay.

So, watching T.V. on the computer, OT, PT, & Wound Care and reclining in my new chair doing the things I've just mentioned - that's what's been happening lately.

Be Well,




P.S.  Thus goes my 400th blog post.

    MS is a very sucky beast indeed. And I hope yours backs off a bit and gives you some respite.

    Hi
    I hadn't seen the last 3 + posts you had written! I am so sorry you have been having such a rough time. I am thrilled to hear you are getting both OT and PT at

      PT signed off Tuesday. DH got a lesson,but we'll see how that goes. He does some things fantastically well; others, not so much.

      I am so far behind in my blog reading that I am thinking of chucking it for a book instead!

      As you, Ami. I so admire the patience you show to your kids, I hope your latest tool will be gone for awhile.

      Sounds like you have a good method for sharing the pie duties!

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
