I woke up this late morning to the smell of my Mom‘s apple pie. Mornings are always difficult for me and as I was trying to wake up I had a big coughing fit. I cough and choke on nothing now. It’s a little bit alarming but I’ve been doing it so long that my Mom knows just to let me, “Choke it out.” Sean would always say, “Hands up” (which is what I always used to tell him when he was young). My Mom told me that today as I choked and Leia got up and out of her warm bed by the heater vent to report for duty see if I was okay!
Seeing this, made both my Mom and me laugh as I finished choking. Choking on nothing takes a lot out of you! I am still sitting in my wheelchair trying to wake up. It seems that MS does not care if it is Thanksgiving! The sides have always been my favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal. But I am a little bit concerned that and during Thanksgiving dinner will be difficult. I’m #ChronicallyIllAndNotSoFestive.
Yesterday, I had a piece of my Mom’s, “Reject” pumpkin pie and I didn’t seem to have a problem with that because I’ve been eating it my whole life! I’m just going to be positive about this and chew very slowly!
🍁Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🍁
