Month: December 2020

So, I went out for the third time last Wednesday for an eye appointment. I still haven’t processed everything and I will write about it when I get there. I do have to say one thing about #MyGirlL though. It was a rough day for me for many different reasons!

When we got home, my Mom told me to turn my wheelchair around so she could hug me. She stood on my left and gave me a hug. I started to cry as we hugged and then I felt two little paws on my right thigh. I chuckled through my tears and put my right hand on top of her paws.

After a little moment, she came around to my left side to stand next to my Mom with her hands on the armrest of my chair so we both could hug her too! She wanted to offer comfort and wanted in on the love as well! It was the sweetest thing for me to feel those two little paws on my leg! #MyGirlL is the best and I love her!!!

I texted Sean this picture not too long ago. She hadn’t been outside when she put her paws on my leg so I didn’t get an a paw prints but it was like this:

A few days ago, a Twitter follower and fellow MS warrior tweeted out that her MS fatigue was kicking her butt. Sometimes you just have to say stuff out loud to get it out and I completely I understand that! I told her what I do for MS fatigue.

I must have started this a while ago. I had seen it on Ellen and knew of the benefits of apple cider vinegar. My interest was piqued but I being on a fixed income, I wasn’t sure if I could afford it. I think I save some money for a few months before I was able to buy one bottle to try it out. I tweeted her this picture and told her that this is what I use for MS fatigue:

The directions on the bottle say to take six gummies a day but I knew I couldn’t afford that! I told her that I only take two in the morning when I am drinking my breakfast. I noticed right of that I was not passing out in my chair in the middle of the day so I must have been helping.

Well, this morning, it must’ve been an oversight but as a drink my shake and took my vitamins, I forgot to take my gummies. I did not realize that until my Mom had already washed my hair and I had to blow dry it because it was cold. I couldn’t figure out why I was so exhausted I summation point yes I drink my lunch today I had my gummy‘s because that’s the only thing that I could think of.

I think I have gone through five or six bottles so far and when I get some money, I stocked up on them. There’s no cure for MS but at least this works for me to help with my MS fatigue. It stinks that I had to figure that out by forgetting to take it so today is a bit wonky!

I think I was probably about five or six years ago when my Mom witnessed me being in pain because of on the wind. We were getting into the car and the wind started blowing and she so my face and me cringe. It wasn’t cold outside but just when the wind picked up, it felt like shards of glass hitting my skin

My Mom came in this morning laughing. She got up this morning and took Leia out before she got me out of bed. She was laughing because she said when Leia went outside, the wind started to blow and she crouched on the paver patio in my backyard in an attempt to avoid the wind. She just peed by a bush close to the patio and ran toe the back door! That’s when my Mom started to laugh!

She helped me get out of bed and explained how Leia was trying to avoid the wind. Is she reclined my chair to get me into it comfortably, I just said matter-of-factly, “She gets me!”

I have thought about that all day and given that it’s so windy and cold outside today, she really doesn’t want any part of going outside unless it is to get her business done and come back inside and sit by the heater vent. That is something new she does and it’s super cute!

I am missing a vent Cover in my kitchen but here she is:

She got my knee brace from my last surgery out when my Mom moved the couches to put the Christmas tree up. I knew there was a reason I still had it three years later! The blanket she is resting her head on is Sean‘s so it smells like him.
