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.

We Laughed!!!

I read on Facebook on Saturday that today was 35th anniversary of Home Alone release date. I arranged for Sean to pick up Roman Village and bring it here so we could watch it.

It had been about three or four years since I saw this movie so I knew that we would laugh! And did we laugh?!!!! My Mom laughed especially and I loved hearing it!

Before Sean came over, we talked on the phone andhe asked me what my favorite part was, and I told him this part:

It’s still my favorite part!!!

I had too much bread, but it was from Roman Village and with each piece, I stated that it felt like I was back at CCA. We used to get Roman Village for the staff for Parent-Teacher conferences constantly!

Here is the deal with me, I have been on the SouthBeach diet pretty much since I had Sean. While I was working at CCA, I would say that I don’t break my diet, but I WILL for Roman Village bread! I had A LOT of Roman Villiage’s bread today while it was hot! Can I pay for it tomorrow but it was worth it because we laughed so much and I loved hearing it!!!

“Meeting of the Minds”

I am currently having issues with my feet. My big toes are hurting! I was at a loss and did not know what to do but then I thought for a moment and decided to commence a ‘meeting of the minds’

My Facebook friend, Ashley started this group a number of years ago, and it consists of people who have had MS for a long time.

I decided to ask them and I posted that ‘I am a homebound, chair bound person and what kind of shoes do you use? Which works best for you?’ I got responses! And I still am getting them! Over 20 people have commented on the shoes they use and it’s so enlightening and I have a lot of ideas.

That’s really good because I canceled my hair appointment on Wednesday:

I have no idea what’s going on with my phone. It’s not letting me pictures but it’s not.

So, for this month, I will forgo my haircut to go to Optimize to get new contacts and then wherever we’re going to end up, going to to get new shoes. nedical shoes I think. This really scares me!

#ItSucksToSuck #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

Rando Tune #77

This song was released on May 29, 2001. My freshman year of college had just completed.

I had just found out that I was pregnant and I had just put in to transfer to EMU from WMU. I was accepted but plans changed when I found out that I was pregnant.

The whole story of my enrollment and U if M – Dearborn is absolutely insane, but I’m too tired to write about it now. Here is this song:

31 Years?!!!! OR My Eyes are Sick

Today is day #2 of Recovery and I’m thinking it’s going to be a full weekend recovery but I have another appointment on Tuesday so…

Let me talk about these new contacts! They are the easiest thing to put into my eyes! I have been struggling to put them in for the past 31 years?!!!! Each time I go to put them in my eye, they just suction to my eyeball! It’s so surprising!

I thought I was just going to see Liz to get fitted for them, but she wanted me to see Dr. Harris. He looked at my eyes through the machine in the room and had me look up and blink and he poked the bottom of my eye just to see how they were moving in them.

is going to see him on Wednesday and my mom told him and she said, “his”His name is Sean.”

He looked at me and asked a question that I never thought I would ever be asked and to be able to answer in an affirmative way! He said, “I bet he has your eyes.”

I let out a surprised gasp, but I think, I could feel my eyes light up, and I told him, “He does!”

Dr. Harris said that I could discontinue using my Renu re-wetting drops. These contacts fill excellent in my eyes, but I’m not going to discontinue using my re-wetting drops because my eyes are sick. They have been sick for the past 24 years. They got sick when I was pregnant with Sean!

I Remember EXACTLY How this Feels!!!

This is not a new random tune, but I heard it today and we talked about this not too long ago:

My Mom had recently watched videos about Linda Ronstadt. She wanted to listen to the mariachi concert she gave.

I declined. I told her that listening to women sing is painful for me! It’s painful because I still remember crystal clearly how that feels to sing!!! I have been missing it so much right now!!!

I think that I am really feeling vulnerable right now! We had a great day today and I did not even cry for my mammogram which that is the first! I will sing praises for Lauren and Tammy my techs! I think I exclaimed in the room five or six times, “I didn’t even cry?!!!!”

We are going to handle my shoe situation on December 9 when I get my teeth cleaned. This disease progression is brutal! I was not ready for it, but I guess I was?! This stinks!!!

Gorging Myself

I saw this meme on Facebook and it made me laugh so much because this SERIOUSLY was me in 2001:

I was pregnant and was not due until December 27. I was hoping to eat my fill on Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas as well!

Turns out that God had a different plan because I gave birth to him via emergency C-section on November 2, before Thanksgiving! I didn’t even have Thanksgiving dinner that year because I was at the hospital to see him in NICU. he was there until December 3.

I put him in his portable bassinet under the Christmas tree and whispered in his ear for him to grow! He slept for all but 20 minutes for two weeks when he came home. I had to wake him up to feed him.

I have recently been seeing so many March of Dimes fundraisers on Facebook and they show a picture of a preemie baby with a breathing tube in their nose. Seeing those makes me wince a little bit that was such a painful time and I only now am realizing it. Sean was on oxygen the first 24 hours and they told me that was really good for his eyes. Being on oxygen for multiple days can make them blind.

I can’t eat turkey anymore, but seeing this meme made me laugh and remember my plans of gorging myself on Thanksgiving. That didn’t work out.
