What next for The Curmudgeon?
He had a neurologist appointment on Monday. They took him off the Tecfidera. Again.
Once the paperwork goes through, he’ll be starting another medication that has been around for awhile. You can see all the information on Rebiff in the link below.
Here’s hoping for some good results.
OMD…more?!
Okayz, dat iz it! Two nightz in a row ob da mean nasty thunder boomer storms is enuff.
Diz one tooked our lights away for hours!!!
Mudder Nature needz to settlez her azz down!

Gardening day.
We had a lovely day yesterday. Mid 80s fabulous breezes. Perfect for me to get some work done in the yard.
I didn’t get a great deal done but enough to make me happier.
I ran the weed eater in the pond area. Gee, maybe one day I can stop saying that when we finally get it level.
Then I cleaned out some of the weeds and suckers under the sweet gum tree and trimmed a few low hanging branches off the magnolia. I still have plenty more to do.
Looks like today will be the same routine and maybe I’ll actually get some of the mulch down.
You all have a good one!
I now have two of these wind chimes. I love them!
Yay! He will have teeth!
Another fitting of the wax dentures yesterday was a great success. He is finally happy with the fit!
He will have his new dentures in two weeks. I think the new ones are great looking.
Now all we need to do is pay them off. It’s amazing how expensive dentures are.
In fact, the cost of dental care these days often makes it out of reach for people on fixed incomes. A damned shame that dental insurance is not part of the healthcare system when the condition of your teeth and gums can have such a huge impact on your overall health.
Here’s to Aspen Dental for hitting a home run With The Curmudgeon’s new teeth.
Stress and heat levels rise… not good for MS
The Curmudgeon is already showing signs of the no medication downhill spiral. His legs are weak. His walking is crap again. I do believe he’ll be back to his walker tomorrow.
Of course his being taken off the medication was bad enough, but now we have the addition of extreme heat to give him a real face plant.
So glad G and I took our young neighbor along with us to our favorite sushi joint. We enjoyed watching him dig in and relish the wonderful items on the menu. It was a bright spot in the day that will have to last me for a while as The Curmudgeon goes into his spiral.
Now I think I’ll kick back and have a tall one of these…
Another setback for The Curmudgeon
So another day where The Curmudgeon’s MS hits us between the eyes with a jolt. He went in for his monthly blood test early in the morning and by afternoon we had a phone call telling him to stop the Tecfidera again.
Crap.
His hemoglobin and lymphocytes are all screwed up.
Double crap.
The weather is heating up too so he won’t even leave the house later this week.
He did go with Lucy and I to the vet’s office yesterday. He got to see her getting hugs and kisses from the entire staff. They love her at ABE Veterinary Clinic. Unlike her brother Gavin who hates to leave home, Lucy is a social butterfly.
Come on Daddy, let’s play!!!
Wild weather
The sky darkened considerably while I cooked dinner.
Just before I served it up, the sky opened and the air between the clouds and the earth flooded. We couldn’t see across the cemetery.
The street out front was no longer a street but became a raging river. I was on the lookout for white water rafters.
Thunder rattled the windows.
Needless to say neither dog wanted to go out to pee until the rain slowed to a trickle.
I hope you all had a good day.
Momma I need a raincoat!
How does your garden grow?
My potted garden is growing well. I have peppers coming on my pepper plants, tomatoes on the tomato plants, and blossoms all over my little cucumber plant. The eggplant hasn’t any blossoms yet but I don’t expect them for a while.
Now if only we can keep the squirrels away from them, we might get to have some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants.
Anyone have any fool proof squirrel chasing tactics?
What a race! What a horse!
Yay for American Pharaoh! The 12th winner of the Triple Crown at Belmont Stakes! The first Triple Crown Winner in 37 years. Last triple crown winner was Affirmed in 1978.
Can’t live without them
Spent $102.00 at the vet’s without taking either dog there. Yep, that’s what six months worth of heart worm medications cost us.
Lucy is scheduled to go in for shots, heart worm test, and intestinal parasites test. Yeah, that’s going to cost us a pretty penny too.
We don’t mind, truly we don’t. We love these two lunatic dogs with all our hearts.
I might bitch and moan about them from time to time but I don’t know what I’d do without them. They are my heartbeat.
Lucy and Gavin
