Category: A Bit Of Randomness

This category is full of randomness that really doesn’t fit nicely into any of the categories having to do with my road to walking.

2 More Sleeps…

I reposted on both Facebook and Twitter at about 330 this morning that I understood or I remembered the feeling that I am experiencing in my legs right now. The post I reposted was from November 2013. I had gotten a really good stretch at Barwis and maybe it was just a little bit too much! It was in the very beginning of my training there and I cried in 2013 when I had this feeling in my legs but I didn’t cry this morning.

I am able to adjust my bed to ‘TV watching mode’ which I prefer to call ‘reading mode.’ I only found this out by accident because desperate times call for desperate measures and I was crawling out of my skin with the pain I was feeling in my legs so I set up in my bed and the pain dissipated a little bit. I probably sat that way for 20 minutes before I cat send it back to ‘zero gravity’ mode and I was able to sleep for a good chunk of time!

so now, I only have to sleep for two more nights with my socks that are too big and are hurting my legs and on Monday we will get new ones!

Notable Puzzlin’ Tune #14

How did I also miss this one, also?! This one definitely would have been one of my jams back when I lived in the land of the able-bodied. As I am transitioning to the land of the chronically ill, it’s quite difficult for me. This song makes me remember being in the land of the able-bodied:

AND, a side note: she’s redheaded!!!

I almost forgot, the puzzle:

But it’s another puzzle with the wrong piece?! So irritating!!!:

Notable Puzzlin’ Tune #15

I am in the middle of a puzzle but I heard this song that I have never heard before and I couldn’t even identify who was by so I stopped puzzling and listen to the words and it made me laugh because I actually did the same thing! But what I said was, “You’re right, I’m wrong.” Repeatedly. Then I was asked why I did not want to fight and I said because you are right and I am wrong. 😂😂😂

And the progress of the puzzle:

It’s only 58% done so far:

Rough Night

I hardly got any sleep last night. I’ll ‘splain ya tomorrow and it’s not even the last sleep tonight before new compression socks because they have to order them so I probably will get them Wednesday or Thursday.

Yesterday was a rough night and I just saw this meme a couple days ago which is completely the truth:

Channeled

So, I am definitely NOT feeling well today and I drank my breakfast and lunch so for dinner, I just channeled my inner Olivia Pope!:


I did that have wine with the popcorn but rather, milk and one square of dove dark chocolate. I eat my popcorn one kernel at the time and it helps with hand eye coordination.

Exhausted

My three-day van rental excursion has completed and my Mom is taking the van back to the rental place. I knew it would be difficult which it WAS a WHOLE lot but I got everything I needed to get done completed!

My teeth are clean, my new compression socks are ordered, and I got a haircut and my eyebrows waxed.

I will try to write about it tomorrow or the next day because I may need a day of rest. For now, so much in my life has changed and I am SO exhausted! Actually, I am BEYOND exhausted!!!

Recovery Day

I KNEW that today was going to be difficult because I was so laser focused for three days but I got everything I needed to get done, done. Our morning routine was later in the day because I slept longer and it took SO MUCH longer to complete! But I KNEW that today was going to be a recovery day. So, I just sat in my wheelchair and put my Cucumber Mint chapstick on (because it’s Thursday) accordingly.

Reeling

I thought to write about our insane three day van excursion but I think that after 21 years, I’m going to need a second day to recover because I am still reeling! I am not as listless as I was yesterday but I’m still feeling it! I didn’t put my contacts in today either and I got an email today and this is what I will be doing for the rest of the evening:

I already queued up my Apple Music!

Hopefully Just ‘Bent’


My feet really hurt today and A Facebook friend and fellow and MSer posted this and I paused and gasped:

It looks like this recovery time is taking longer and I didn’t even put my contacts in again today. My feet hurt so much though! Hopefully tomorrow, I will tell you all about it. I hope I am NOT broken and I am just bent which will ALWAYS remind me of Sean and this song:

A dj on the Pulse while we were driving to Barwis Methods, “It looks like it’s Pink and Nate at number one for the 13th week. So a little 13 week old baby does not know a world without Pink and Nate at #1”

‘Easy”

My bounce back from my three day van excursion is taking a lot longer than anticipated. I thought I would write about it today but I guess not. My feet are killing me! STILL. Hopefully I can write about it tomorrow. But for right now, it’s easy. This song has been in my head since this morning and I prefer a more mature Lionel:
