My MS Damaged Foot

My foot that was damaged by MS swells mostly in the evenings.  Since only one foot was swelling it did concerned me.

I went to a vascular surgeon. He did a scan of my veins and fortunately they were clear.

The doctor said neurological damage from strokes, MS etc. can cause the feet to swell.

He said I could try compression socks.  However they would be too hot for me.....the heat causes my legs to cramp.  At least elevating it does help.

Oh my! the aging body....have you ever heard of such?

My Furbabies

As Mother's Day is here....I thought it was a good time to share my love for my dogs and cat. We spend lots of quality time together.

Bandit is my feral garage cat.  He has been here over a year now.  I feed him inside the house twice a day as the dogs are on the deck.

Bandit wants to go outside after scratching and playing with me.

I wish yall a Happy Mothers Day!

My Sisters Photos are Honored

Both these photos, that my sister Jill took were selected to be hung in Erlanger's Behavior Health Hospital in Chattanooga, TN.

I am so proud of her.  After she battled breast cancer she began her photography hobby.

Therefore I get to enjoy great photos of their travels!  then I share some with you....

Spring Beauty and Pollen

Our pollen count in Atlanta was 5354 a few days ago!   I had a runny nose, sore throat, coughing.....fortunately I have allergy meds.

Even if I have a few allergy problems....it does not taint my love for the flowers blooming, birds chirping, trees budding, and warmth!

I wish Springtime for those who are still dealing with snow.....

Our Family’s New Baby

Keegan

My niece had this beautiful baby last week.  Needless to say we are thrilled over such a cutie.

It reminds me of when I had my babies.  The doctors would not give me an epidural since they were concerned it might effect the MS!  At least they gave me some pain meds though.

Since I had muscle weakness, I consider my 9 pound baby births as miraculous!

I would do it again, some pains are worth the glorious outcome.
