Tomorrow I have my appointment with my internist and I will get weighed and my flu shot. I’m going to tell her that she saved my life in suggesting that I get my colonoscopy. I’m still NOT okay with that by the way… I get weighed every six months just to make sure it hasn’t fluctuated that much.
Sean transferred me not too long ago and he told me that I am a lot lighter. My Mom has told me that my body is changing and I feel that as well.
I also need to have her update my medication list because I no longer take ibuprofen 800 because it gave me gastritis that I am still dealing with. I will see my naturopath in December to discuss that. I really can’t believe that this is my life now.
Today is day 12, post procedure and I’m feeling a little bit optimistic. We actually watched the movie today. We chose, Maid in Manhattan:
Norah Jones has been showing up in my Apple Music after my chosen songs play. Norah Jones has always reminded me of this movie and my Mom and I saw footage of Jennifer Lopez, not recognizing the boy who played Ty in the movie recently.
Today is day 11 post procedure and I STILL don’t feel well! I wonder how long it will take me to bounce back and if I even will? We finished the cider and donuts today. Until next year! We are going on October 22 of next year.
They come in a five pack now?! I used to buy mine in packs of two from Staples, not too far from my house. That store is no longer a Staples. So much has changed since I have stopped working!!! Reading all about these pens made me think a lot about teaching. I just get a tinge of sadness whenever I think about it now and what could have been… I had to stop 12 years in… #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
Today was cider mill for us. It was a complete success!!! The weather was great for me and Sean even came with us so it was a COMPLETE family outing!!!
We got cider and donuts for a whole bunch of family members, and I really liked it!!! We stayed there longer than we did last year and I may or may not have had three donuts, but they’re so delicious and I have to eat them on the first day! I know it was rough, but I HAD TO do it!!!
I told Sean that this is an annual thing for us and we are going next year on Thursday, October 22. Sean wanted me to get out and go around with them, but I told him that the cold air would not be good for me and I’m fine just sitting in the van.
While we were there, Sean put Leia on his lap so she could see out of the window. Just as he was putting her down, she got me!!! It was a full tongue lick on the left side of my face, which I think is absolutely disgusting and Sean laughed!!!
I know where that tongue has been and it’s pretty gross, but it rarely happens so I guess I will just deal with it. I was FINALLY able to watch Hocus Pocus today and I still LOVE it!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Today, when we got our haircut, I told Christina that Sean will be 24 on November 2. She was totally floored!!! She has been cutting my hair for 25 years?!
They listen to the same radio station each time I go to get our haircut and my eyebrows waxed and I was picking a montage of 80s songs to post on my blog; but, then I heard this song and I was completely floored myself! I remember singing this song and holding onto the mic stand for dear life because I was about to fall over.
I could still sing back then. My cousin was 15. I know that Sean was alive. Here’s the song:
it has been one week since my procedure and I’m not feeling great. I’m glad that I didn’t message my one doctor the other day because I messaged a different doctor tonight!
But, it really doesn’t matter because tomorrow is ‘go time.’ We’re getting our haircut and then Thursday we’re going to the cider Mill, which I have been looking forward to all the year!!!
Today is day #5 post procedure. I thought for sure that I would be feeling better because it’s only supposed to be a 24 hour recovery. Well, the recovery is not day #5. That sucks!
I have never felt like this before in my life! I thought to message one of my doctors tonight to see if how I feel is okay after my procedure but my Mom says to just wait it out for a bit because they really don’t have answers with me having had MS for 24 years.
I am a little over two months away from a quarter of a century of having MS. I never thought my life would be how it is now!!!
It has been four days to post procedure and I must tell you, this ‘recovery in 24 hours’ is for the birds because I feel terrible!
I have been so disturbed by my bruises on my right arm because I think they are getting worse:
I ordered Rutin from Amazon a couple days ago because that is a supplement that supports vascular health. It arrived today.My first naturopath told me about that supplement (I think) because I’ve known about it for so long, but my Mom had to remind me about it.
As I pillaged today, I was stuck staring at my right hand as I distributed the pills which totally disturbs me!
I clearly remember going to Zerbo’s to pick up the Rutin because bruising has been a horrible thing for me for my entire life; but I think it’s starting to get worse!
I’m trying to piece together when I had this conversation because I know that I was driving still and I believe I was on crutches.
I went into Zerbo’s looking for a bottle of Rutin. A man who I saw there often for a while, asked me if I needed any help. He had longer hair like John Denver, but it didn’t look as nerdy. I dated a guy whose dad had hair like that. This man had somewhat of a hippie, earthy vibe. Everyone there does! I just haven’t been there in years. My Mom goes for me now because I’m homebound.
So, I walked into the store and ask this man for some Rutin. He looked at me stone faced and asked, something like, “You are all set with tootin’?”
it took me a moment to get what he asked me. And when I did, I smirked, and told him, “That’s funny!”Then he showed me where the Rutin was.
