This picture is from October 18, 2019 at 2:13 p.m.
I randomly saw this in a post I re-posted. I didn’t really pay attention right off. But now, I keep looking at this picture. I get a real-time wince because so many things have changed!!!
I didn’t realize that I have been using my extra firm therapy putty since October 2019. I will replace my current therapy putty ball on December 18. I do that every six months.
I’m lucky that Amazon sells them in a two pack so I don’t need to buy them until next year before June 18.
What I really could NOT get over is the fact that my nails were so long! I remember my nails being that long! I used to love washing my hair in the shower, but I don’t even wash my own hair anymore?!
I remember that Phil used to tell me that I had ‘claw nails’ and I remember once when Sean calmly recollected me taking my contacts out with my nails. I would just pop them out. I remember he said it off the cuff and I remember being able to do it which I no longer can do! I cut my nails to the knobs every two weeks. At least my mom died. I can’t do that for myself anymore either.
The second thing that I could NOT get over after seeing This picture was the fact that I was wearing shell toes. Back when I could easily buy Adidas shall toes in kid sizes. My shoes were like $19.99. I want to say the last time I bought a pair, I think they were almost $40 or something like that.
No, it was my Chucks that were $19.99 but I eventually had to stop wearing those. I stopped wearing shell toes five years ago and I got shoes like my Mom but now, I have to get a different pair of shoes. What is causing me to wince when I see this picture is the fact that I am going to buy special shoes from a specialty shop.
These shoes are not kids shoes or even normal shoes for the regular public. This means that they are more expensive! I’ve already researched them online after I asked my Rolling with MS group about the kind of shoes they wear.
I found a store where these types of shoes are sold and it is at 12 Oaks mall. I used to LOVE going to the mall when I was in high school!!! This is a really big deal because I am homebound so this will be DIFFICULT for me but I only focus on my Mom when we leave the house.
At least I’ll get to see the 12 Oaks Christmas decorations?! I hope I see them, but that’s not really important, going to the store to get fitted as what is the focus of this outing. I’m nervous. #ItSucksToSuck!!! #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
