Month: September 2022

Killed It!!!

Today, I had to leave my house pretty early in the day. I made this appointment in July so I needed to keep it. After just having not very good sleep, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes to get them to stop burning as I took my vitamins, drank my water and my shake. Protein shakes always need chasers!!!

I was up and sitting in my chair by 730. I haven’t awakened that early in years! But yesterday, my Mom called Medicare to see if my ‘medical nutrition therapy‘ appointment would be covered and when we found out that it would be covered, I called them this morning! I was able to make a virtual appointment for October 12.

when we got to my dermatology appointment, Dr. Rambatlah commented on my sweatshirt. She said that was her alma mater. I smiled and I said that it was mine too and she asked me if I had a masters degree and it sounds good to answer that in the affirmative!

After my appointment where I found out that the skin on my heels looks beautiful but may possibly remain pink like they are now.

My AMon is in Meijer right now to pick up my prescription from last week and she’s getting groceries. So I am sitting here thinking and all I can say is that I killed it!

Nutritionist appointment: check, dermatology appointment: check, blood work done :

check, picking up my prescription for my pain pills because my feet still hurt terribly!: Check! I most likely will pass out in the car until my Mom gets back because I need to regain some strength for tonight because I don’t want to poop out for the Hocus Pocus 2 Premier!

Trying to Control Myself

I have my return appointment to the dermatologist who has been treating my pressure sores. They are still there! Although both of them are closed, they are still so tender! I am reminded of the excerpt in Fhe Hunger Games and I am reminded of the description of the raw new skin and how much it hurt to the touch! It’s the same thing!

I was only able to get an appointment at 11:15 in the morning tomorrow. That is the day that Hocus Pocus 2 comes out on Disney+! Sean is going to come over to watch it with me and my Mom so I am so excited because my, “2 Sacreds” are going to see this movie with me!!!

So, I have to leave the house early tomorrow to go to the doctor and then the new Hocus Pocus is coming out I am trying to control myself so I do not poop out! Wish me luck!!!

Rando Tune #29

I first heard this song randomly as I was playing my match game and it took me back to our second apartment I actually had to research this because I was remembering it being snowy outside in my second apartment and driving to work.

Last night, I searched for the release date of this album and yeah, I was correct.

The release date for this album was November 20, 2007. I had immersed myself in the album for a few months as I always do when I get a new CD. Some thing I have noticed in the past few days is that I really Love thinking about music from when I was living in our apartment. I was more able-bodied back then and I still can’t drive! Things are so different now! But I really liked hearing this Song, I probably will listen to it again today:

Somber Realization

I realized this fact late last night and I was immediately saddened when I realized this fact. I did a little bit of ‘research’ and it confirmed the fact for me which kind of made me even more sad!


I looked at this picture because I wanted to see the faces that go along with the number. My new number is just what I suspected! I have lived with a pain level of four for about a decade but year 21 is definitely a doozy! Looking at these pictures, my assessment is that I am at a solid six all of the time! That was an extremely sad realization yesterday but I spoke with Meira my Speech Pathologist and we are working through some things as well.

SWEEET!!!

Football has taken a backseat to my health problems right now but I am a Twitter football fan. I just catch the highlights! That makes me feel badly but I will tune in for the playoffs and the Super Bowl! I saw this tweet today and it took me back to my time at Barwis:

Adam was my trainer back then and there was a man training for the combine. Adam asked him which team he would want to play for in the NFL? He thought about it for a moment and he decided on the Saints. I remember that Adam was startled by his answer and I chimed in, “Because their uniforms are sweeet!!!”

I remember both of them laughing and I liked being part of that football conversation. I will watch the game on Sunday or at least check out the highlights because they will really look SWEET!!!

Thank God

So, this happened last night:

That really stunk that this happened because I had a doctor appointment today with my new primary care doctor. I had dropped my glasses when I took my contacts out and I forgot about them so when I moved my chair, I ran my glasses over.

THANK GOD FOR AMAZON!!!:

I am extremely grateful that my glasses are coming tomorrow.

*** I just saw that I did not post this but my glasses arrived and my mom put the prism in and all is well regarding my glasses, not everything else in my life…

Reeling

So, I had my ‘2 fer’’ for September but I have another appointment next week for my pressure sores. But with the steady progression of my disease, these two days of getting out of my house are starting to take its toll!

I am kind of reeling still as I write this! I feel like I am Bono just as he is pushed out of the van. I hope I feel better soon…:

THANK GOD!!!

So, this happened yesterday:


This was bad news because after my haircut yesterday, I had a doctor appointment to meet my new primary care physician. I dig her!

After the mishap last night, THIANK GOD FOR AMAZON!!!:


I took my contacts out already so I don’t have to wear the broken glasses. My Mom agreed to affix the prism onto the glasses tomorrow because without the prism, even with my contacts, I cannot see!

“Muggy!” OR HUGE MESS

My Mom took Leia out this morning for a little walk and for her to do her business. When she came inside the house, she said that it felt, “Muggy!”

Well, that stinks! It’s stinks for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that today starts my ‘2fer’ because I just got paid. I am getting my haircut and eyebrows waxed at 5:30 pm today. I am hoping it may cool down by then because right now, I am sitting in my house in the air-conditioning kind of uncomfortable!

The reason I am uncomfortable is because of all of the rain we received last night and this morning as residual from Fiona. So that is the second reason. I can’t get comfortable! I have my arms pulled into my sweatshirt and I’m sort of hugging myself for comfort because inside my body is a HUGE MESS!!! Not to mention that tomorrow, I am going to see my new PCP and we will talk about my nutrition because chewing is way too difficult for me now!

“Go-Time”

It was an anti-climactic changing of the guard, changing of the seasons. I finished my cucumber mint Chapstick halfway through the day and I couldn’t take the scrape on my lips so I moved over to vanilla bean.

So, it’s fall now according to my lips and tomorrow I get my haircut and on Thursday I have a PCP appointment and we will discuss my nutrition. I am a little concerned meeting a new doctor because I don’t know how much experience she has with working with someone with multiple sclerosis.

I can feel myself getting a little bit anxious but it’s “Go-Time” for this month now!
