The wonderful world of… what???

I woke up many times at about 1 a.m. by my calculations, although a total wild guess would be a better descriptor. The gurney was still extremely uncomfortable as I lay in the hallway waiting for them to take me to my next destination. It felt like they were playing three-card Monte, getting moved so much, hiding me from someone. But who would they hide me from? I spent several hours in this…

I understate, not exaggerate…

I wrote this blog approximately five years ago while going through weird MS issues. I was also having difficulty getting in and out of bed, so I thought this might give a peek into what I was experiencing. There are detailed examples of disabled life to allow you to practice and comprehend what I and many others deal with daily. I hope that when people read this, they realize that perception and…

Goodbye, Norma Jean swim team…

This pandemic affected me in various ways, negatively affecting my daily life. The medical emergency forced us into isolation and did not allow me to continue swimming, so I got weaker. Prior to the catastrophic calamity that isolated us, I swam two to three hours a day, three days a week. Every time we conducted strength testing, my doctor would express astonishment at my level of strength.  I…

Gratitude with gusto…

The following writing is another letter that I am sharing with you because it shows my writing and how it always stays the same. It was written to the saleswoman…er, uh… the salesperson who helped me attain my vehicle. I hope you read my words and descriptions and can understand my excitement and gratitude for this van. So please read and enjoy my writing, as I have more to come. Dear…

Life is like a box of chocolates….

You need to know that I am sharing this writing not for sympathy or to make you feel sorry for me. I am sharing these letters because they are my writing. I sometimes struggle to find things to write about, so I came up with these. The following is a victim impact statement letter that I wrote and sent to the judge, hoping to do my part. I also changed the names to protect the innocent and the…

Start spreading the news…

Who wrote letters to three people in various places. I am going to share them like A blog because they are still my writing. I enjoy writing and thought this would be good to share. A few weeks ago, I thought contacting Brianna’s boss would be a good idea, as she does not know how things are. The caregivers work alone with each client, and their supervisor rarely asks the client for their…

Lurking devil in the darkness…

Did you know that 988 is the phone number of the suicide and crisis hotline, so call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org/chat. I recently learned that some of my readers struggle with issues and demons I fought with years ago. We all understand if individuals are battling beasts in the open, then others are raging wars alone in the shadows. I want you all to know that you are not alone on this…

And the truth, shall set you free!!!

I share the true stories of my MS life with any person perusing my papers to show how in life I deal with the good, bad, or ugly. I want people to see that no matter their concerns, bad news medically, or just a person in a mood of constant negativity, we will make it together. My hope is that when people read my words, they feel encouragement and inspiration slathered with a thick, meaty layer…

Conquering chaos…

It is essential to stay organized in this world where chaos confounds everyday life, challenging our existence. Keeping a list of your doodads and do hickeys diligently divided is beneficial so you can reach them instantly when needed. The intelligent choice is keeping your widgets and digits stacked neatly for quick, convenient contemplation. In addition, having your entire calendar of events…

Unconscionably unseen…

One of the most significant issues with multiple sclerosis is the many hidden symptoms leading to accusatory statements from strangers. The invisibility of these MS issues means others do not see, perceive, or believe they even exist. The primary posed proclamations towards me or other MSers are that we do not look sick, so we must be okay. My friend Jim even told me about Mark, a guy he knows…

It’s a New Year, let’s think time…

Astrophysics teaches us that traveling back in time is impossible, meaning we only have it now, so let us use time intelligently before it slips away. Time makes us all prisoners of the present, forever transitioning from our past to an unknown and mysterious future. Therefore, our social circle must understand the adoration, admiration, and appreciation we hold for them without question. We do…

Come on and Rescue Me… The last episode…

Everything on me hurt, like my hand that I had been painfully smashing between my body and the hard surface floor for three hours. The fall twisted my head and neck, leaving my face smeared onto the floor while my cheekbone burned in pain from the slam and continuous pressure, and I could not move. The sound of my snapping neck during the fall echoed through my brain bucket, causing my…

Down, but not out…part 2…

Although the light was bleeding through the window blinds, I could barely see the empty floor before me. Struggling to take in air as the seat belt continued to crush my stomach caused panic to run through my brain, full of the worst-case scenarios. Then, finally, I understood that being unable to breathe oxygen was terrible as the human body needed air for life to exist. I did not know if mine…

Dangling over the edge…

I had been battling severe spasms in my legs for several weeks at that point, and no one had a resolution solution. The occupational therapist had no explanation, although she thought my makeshift seat belt was a brilliant and creative idea. On the other hand, my physical therapist recommended I speak with my doctor about attaining more muscle relaxers. However, while trying to ease the violent…

Gratitude for your appreciation…

During this triple holiday season, most people will visit with family and friends first, catching up on thankfulness. Everyone will question each other about what they are thankful for and what makes them happy during this season. However, ask me, and I will share my gratitude for my blog readers while they also give me bursts of quick complimentary comments. Whether we are talking Avid readers,…

Tug of war, Angel versus devil…

Previously, I wrote a blog on the topic of toxic people, focusing on seven types of these noxious individuals. Since the release date of the blog, I have found that some people do not fit neatly into only one category or in a specific grouping. Sometimes, they are a smorgasbord of toxicity boiling in a cauldron loaded with controlling narcissistic self-importance with a smattering of jealousy.…

When pigs fly…

This writing is a classic blog showing how life while training was a three-ring circus. So I juggled every word, punctuation, and capitalization to mix and reconstruct to make an updated, enjoyable blog. Like a lion tamer, I whipped these sentences until they correctly formed paragraphs best for your situation education. Just like with the elephant, I have sat and squished all the past…
