I went to my dentist appointment on Tuesday and here it is Friday and I’m not feeling much better. I’m not sure that I ‘bounce back’ anymore.
I have to leave the house next week for a naturopath appointment and a haircut. Then that is it for me for this ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL year!!!
After next week, I can actually start to think about how horrible this past year was! It all started January 7. Now that I won’t have anything to do after next week I can take a breath. I’m not sure that I bounce back anymore at all.
Today marked my last appointment for the year. I saw my naturopath today and I have a few more supplements to work on my gallbladder. I am so exhausted, but I am not finished yet because we have haircuts tomorrow and then we are going to see the lights! The Wayne County Christmas lights!
Haircuts tomorrow and I didn’t get one last month because I needed to get my shoes addressed. By the way, today was the maiden voyage and my Mom says they’re pretty! I think it stinks that I need these shoes but I do.
This morning when I woke up, and it was morning because it was 8 o’clock because we had haircut appointments later today and then we were going to see the lights with Sean, which is 100% a nostalgic thing for me! I remember taking him when he was three back when I could still drive… so he humors me and goes with me. With us because my mom drives.
My left toes are hurting me, even after getting new shoes. This morning, my Mom took my socks off and inspected my toes. She told me that my big toe looks red and she pressed it. She said it was non-Blanche able.
Well, that sucks!!!
Non-blanchable is a term we learned from the visiting nurse when I had my pressure sores on my heels. Which killed me from April until November!!! She told us that if pressure sores do not turn white when you press them, that’s evidence of further nerve damage:
My Mom got me out of bed and asked me if she wanted me to call and make up a podiatry appointment for me. Waking up as hard for me and I just said, “Yes.”
I had asked my Internist to refer me to podiatry after I saw her in November. My toe started feeling funny then and I got fitted for new shoes on December 9. My brother Zelled me money that day and Thursday, my Mom ordered them for me.
They arrived on Sunday and I have worn them outside twice. I won’t leave the house until January 20. That’s because my Mom made podiatry appointment for that day. I have a haircut on the 21st and a bone density scan on the 22nd.
I have just finished the most brutal year of doctors appointment of my life! I just added a third van rental for January. No, I will have to leave the house for three days in a row and that is going to wreak havoc on me and I am not looking forward to it at all! I’m trying to recover from this past year with my head still spinning.!!!
This evening when we were leaving the light show, I told my Mom that I don’t think next year will be a thing for us because it’s getting harder for me to see…
in three minutes, I will be 10 days away from 25 years I’ve been diagnosed with MS. I’ve had too much to deal with this year and it’s looking like next year’s going to be more of the same. I asked my Mom if I’m going to lose my toe. And she shrugged and said that it’s not black yet and we have an appointment on the books.
I pillaged today. I have vitamins that have not arrived yet. I ordered them on Wednesday and they should have arrived by now. I have a new supplement and I ran out of another supplement so I’m down two pills until I get the new package.
I do the same thing every day and today it’s just feeling like a lot. #ItSucksToSuck!!! #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
Sean came by yesterday and he was able to transfer me back to my chair after my Mom and me did our routine. He cuts out a 45 minute transfer by just picking me up and placing me back into my chair.
My Mom put my legs up and Sean looked at my feet. He has told me more than a few times that my feet are really small! He told us that it looks like my shoes are, “Tap shoes.”
My Mom and I laughed and I told him that I have my small feet from my Mom and my small hands from my Dad‘s mom.
I thought about it and I remembered seeing black shoes on SpongeBob. I look for it and I sent this to Sean.. I told him it’s my shoes:
I watched this video probably four or five days ago and I didn’t want to share it because I watched it and felt COMPLETELY ATTACKED!!!
I want to first start off by saying that we had a wonderful Christmas! It was so laid-back and Sean liked all of his presents! I thought that I would just not think about this video ever again, but I have to share it here because what he said, cut me straight to my heart!!!
And it didn’t happen once, it happened for all three songs that he despises!!! I felt so attacked. At first, when I heard it, I thought, Wait. What?!
here is the video:
Everyone in my family knows that this song is ABSOLUTELY my favorite Christmas jam! It’s not Christmas until I hear this song!
I have been a member of the virtual front pew since week 17 of ordinary time of 2021. I watched Fr. Mike every week for mass and I listen to him every day when I’m reading the Bible. I am going to go on to my fifth time next year and it is so wonderful!
I have listened to his homily every week and I thought we are almost contemporaries. I think that he is five years older than me.
I havewatched videos from Fr. Mike all the time and I thought this one looked fun with his Christmas coat. I was not expecting what I heard!!!
I told my Mom about this a few days ago and she couldn’t believe it either. I told her that he says it is just a break up song and it’s not even a Christmas song. I looked at my Mom and said, “Have you seen the video?!”
It is completely a Christmas song and my favorite one! I will put it here just to have it one more time before the end of the season:
This was my ‘Pic of the Day’ right before New Year’s:
This was from the fall of 2010. The second fall I lived in this house, but now the tree next-door got cut down so we’re not going to have that many leaves anymore.
I have two small mulberry trees in my backyard so I will just be getting the neighborhood leaves from here on out.
