Give me another day like this!
I need more days like yesterday. I was out and about with G from 11:30 until after 3. We went to a bagel shop, a dollar store, and a grocery store.
Then we went for a good walk in the park. All the trees are in bloom there.
Then we made a stop at the farmers market.
You all have a good one!
Let’s see what happens.
A while back I posted a bit of a rude comment on the National MS society’s FB page.
I was actually surprised when they asked if they could contact me in person. I said they could.
I got a call today. So far it sounds as though they will try to help. We’ll see. We have yet to have any sort of help from any MS group. Once they find out our income (just above what they consider ‘in need’) and that he is secondary progressive and not relapsing remitting, they and any help offered tends to disappear.
It is still my opinion that all they do is take in money and do not truly assist anyone. I hope they prove me wrong.
The only thing The Curmudgeon ever got from an MS group was an ice vest and that was because of his neurologist more than anyone. I’m not looking for a free ride, but we do need some help because I cannot do it all!
After spending so much time clearing out his mother’s house, having the heart attack, and feeling so darned tired all the time, I fell far enough behind in my house cleaning that it seems overwhelming. If only the house were cleaned to a level where I could keep it up without feeling so completely overwhelmed, I’d feel very less stressed each day.
The fact that I wake up stressed on a daily basis, which in turn stresses him out, has become a vicious circle. I no longer smoke because of the heart attack but it doesn’t mean that I’m not tempted to light one every single day.
He can’t do much around here, he can’t even take the dogs for a stroll like he used to, with his scooter out of commission it’s a no go. His scooter came out of our pocket in total and when it stopped working the manufacturer never responded on repairing it. (Basically we were told screw you.) Now it sits in the yard collecting rust and weeds. I can’t fix it and he most certainly can’t.
Anyway, it’s another day of one foot in front of the other, trudge forward, and hope tomorrow is better.
You all have a good one!
Sheeee’s baaack!
Every year a dove nests here. For years they made messy attempts to but couldn’t make it work. Finally, several years ago, The Curmudgeon put that plastic shelf up for them.
Momma’s on her second nesting this year…
You all have a good one.
In theory it works…but in real life?
We’ll see.
Oh, yeah the theory…if I keep taking the dogs outside with me eventually they will get bored with grazing or beating the crap out of each other and will begin to relax in the yard and let me work rather than have to keep my eyes on them all the time.
Or not…
Patty says, “Oh, Brudder let me gnaw on yer neck.” Yeah, I’ll get to work out there with them…not very likely.
Good news and more pictures…
Ultrasound is over and I passed with flying colors. Won’t hear about the blood test until my next appointment unless there’s a problem.
Here’s what the rest of my day was like:
More pictures!
My cardiologist appointment went very well. He is extremely pleased with me. I don’t go back to him again for another 6 months. Yay!
Yeah, it does need weeding.
You all have a good one!
Another day of MS fogginess for The Curmudgeon
The Curmudgeon was all befuddled yesterday because his routine suffered interruption by some religious idiots knocking on our door. It threw him so far off, that he forgot to take his morning medications, thank you very much you useless fools who knock on doors trying to force your religious views on others. Be glad I was asleep.
Once I woke up, I managed to get things back in order. I’m so glad I’ve taken to checking his pill containers twice a day to see if he took his morning and evening pills.
Yes, his MS is affecting his brain function. If he doesn’t do things in a certain order each day, he forgets stuff and gets all muddled.
You all have a good one.
