Ice Helps Calm Spasms

I have been dealing with leg spasms forever it seems..  The baclofen pump I have helps me tremendously .....until I get hot.

Spascitisty is very painful but when I cool off they go away??.   I dress as cool as I can.  I turn the  air down til I freeze hubs to death!

I was surprised but happy that an ice necklace helps my leg cramps.  I feel I can breathe again when I cool down!

I cannot believe it’s September and I am sharing tips to survive the heat! 

My Painting Despite MS Damage

I painted the above picture during my acrylic class at our local Senior Citizen Center.

I am right proud of it!  I didn't think I could paint anymore since high school.  I have aged and with MS damage (feels like I have a glove on) in my right hand.


My instructor said I should take it to our local courthouse since they were showing art by local artists in August.

my aunt Sue and friend Marilyn looking at my painting.
It was displayed very nicely in the courthouse

I encourage others to try something you didn't think you could do anymore.....

My Daughter Has Improved

Leah had the procedure done to repair her spontaneous spinal fluid leak,  almost a week ago.

The doctor was optimistic that her blood that they placed in her spine will do the repair as a blood patch.

She has shown me how much we need “normal “ .

Thank you for your prayers.....it can require more procedures so please keep her in your prayers!

Pray For My Daughter

My daughter has went to the ER three times this week because of head and neck pain.

They now think it’s a spontaneous spinal fluid leak??  Which would require a shunt....

Please keep her in your prayers.....she is still my baby!

My Wheelchair Broke My Dishwasher

Occasionally I hit my dishwashers door open with one of my 6 wheels on my power chair as in the photo above.....

I never thought it would actually brake the door and cause the dishwasher to start leaking. 

But in my defense I was always doing the dishes.

My wonderful Hubs installed a new one with a steel interior, hoping that it will be tougher.

Oh well, I am sweating the small stuff!  Thankfully I have a Dishwasher!
