Too tired to write tonight…
We’re so tired after running around our yard that we won’t even give Mommy any room to sit.
A rare occasion when both of them are on the couch together. 🙂
You all have a good one!
One step back…
So the appointment at the neurologist didn’t go as hoped. On the bright side, the MRI of his spine didn’t show any new lesions. On the dark side, his EEG has them worried.
Now they want an MRI of his brain with contrast. He has to have blood work done beforehand because the hospital won’t do the MRI without the blood work.
His nurse practitioner (with whom he had the appointment) and his neurologist were both in the room at the end of the appointment. Not something that happens often and something I find a tad disconcerting.
There big concern was his one medication, Ampyra. It can cause seizures. What they found on his EEGs had them concerned.
He is showing more muscle weakness as of late. His balance is poor and he needs to use the walker and rollator more.
I can see the day coming where I will need to get help in for him, and I have no idea how we will manage to pay for that.
What scares me the most, is that the time to do this, is coming closer at a faster rate.
Well, we’ll deal with it when it gets here. For now, as usual, it’s one day at a time.
You all have a good one.
A quick funny for you today.
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful princess happened upon a frog, as she sat contemplating ecological issues, on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the Princess’ lap and said, “Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back Into the dapper, handsome, charming, young Prince that I was and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my mother. There, you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.
That night, on a repast of lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought, “I don’t fucking think so.”

You know we all have some days that are pure crap. However, once in a while, along comes a day where you feel like you are farting rainbows. Where every miserable thing that’s gone before feels distant and blurred.
That was my yesterday. Little things went right all day. In this house that is not normal.
The dogs stayed out of trouble. The Curmudgeon’s mood lightened. The sun came out to play all day.
Then the package arrived. Addressed to Gloria’s Cousin. That would be me at this address. Inside, I found a ring I’ve coveted for at least two years. I’ve entered each contest put on by Bella Morta Jewelry to win it. Seems that someone who knows my cousin made sure I got it. 😀 Color me delighted.
You all have a good one today because I sure had one yesterday!!
My two therapists
I do wish I’d grabbed my camera yesterday when The Curmudgeon’s friend showed up. Gavin and Patty were so excited to see him I thought they’d mow him down.
When he finally sat down on the couch both dogs took that as an invitation to roughhouse. He took it in good spirits because he needed doggy attention. He recently lost both his dogs mere weeks apart. By the time he left, he’d been thoroughly loved on by my two. They make good grief counselors.
We told him to come back any time for a doggy fix because they certainly enjoy the attention.
You all have a good one!
