I remember when I was an undergrad in college and I was six months pregnant. I had just gone to the neural ophthalmologist for the first time and I had optic neuritis. I thought that was very strange because I was told that MS is dormant when you are pregnant.
I was in an art history class and the prof was talking about a painting that we were going to talk about in the next class. She said that anyone with issues of seeing in different colors should stay after class so she would preview the painting with whomever stayed.
There’s one other guy with me and she showed us a painting of a tree that had orange and blue in it. I remember that I could see it so I told her that I would be okay and that was it. She was talking to that guy when I left.
I thought about this 25 year old memory because 25 years in, my vision is changing and apparently is my taste. I remember when I saw Pentecost with the Virtual Front Pew for the first time in 2018 and Fr. Mike’s vestment was a beautiful deep red. I just saw it a couple weeks ago and I think it’s tomato red now. I know That he didn’t change investments just the way I see it changed. That got me thinking…
It really bothers me that I cannot smell/taste the cherry in my Wild Cherry chapstick. I am going to use all four tubes because I’m not going to waste it and it tastes all right just not like cherries.
I’m thinking about that because I don’t want to think about my broken chair. My Mom tried turning it on when we were done with our routine and it did not turn on so I transferred to my manual chair and then to my power chair because it has a headrest which I need now. Thank God that it turned on and Dujuan called and he will be here on Monday between 9 and 10 am.
My Mom and I were talking, and if the chair is not in better shape after he leaves, I will cancel my van rentals and my doctors appointment. I will tell Christina that I will get my face waxed in July. I want to spend June holed up in my house.
This is a one month when I can just do that with my appointments. Dr. Chamas told me that my ultrasound was normal for vascular surgery and we just want to talk to the doctor about my toes (Those are NOT normal). So if I can’t go, I will reschedule it at some other day in the future.
Have I told you that my body hurts and it has been hurting since May 24 when my chair went down? Well, it does!!! A whole lot!!!
