Pets

Up until this year I was never much of a dog, cat, bird, reptile, or any other type of animal person. Then, we adopted Astrid. 😎

Limerick #2

Pets

A source of much joy,

But at times they annoy,

They can be so much fun,

Sweetly trusting everyone

And the stress of MS they help destroy.

A New Poetry Project

I don't pretend to think I am attractive, witty, or interesting. My life with this disease leaves so many thoughts cramped in my brain that I cannot get rid of them and all of their pain. So, at times, I take it upon myself to vent through the only art form with which I am familiar: poetry. 

     For January I have chosen the Limerick. Limericks are fun, simple to write, but can also carry weight. So below you will get to read my Limerick for the first week of the year 2025. 

Limerick #1 Goals

So,now it is a new year.

Let me make one thing clear:

A new goal was made,

And plans were laid,

To shove more lines in your ear.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So, I've begun a new poetry project for 2025. I'm hoping it goes almost like the last time: enjoyable and enlightening. I'll try to stay optimistically pessimistic about it. See you on Friday. 😎

Oops, life happens

Well, I've been slacking when it comes to this blog. Sorry. My most recent MRI was good, and I'm getting ready to start a new MS medicine: Kesimpta. I'm down to 218 lbs! 

A Week Away

In a matter of days I go back to Atlanta for my next Rituxan infusion. I'm hoping to see some progress in my weight loss journey. 

Closer and Yet Still So Far

Next goal: more poetry

I'm Still Trying

     I am continuing to chronicle my weight loss journey. Because of the size of my doctor's office, there is no one specific way to get my way definitively measured until I get back to my MS doctor in Atlanta. That will be on the 17th of October.

     However, there has been some possible improvement with using my lift to get my showers. This time around it was much easier to get into the sling and get lifted from my wheelchair to the tub and I was more easily balancing on my shower chair, cutting the time it normally takes for me to get a shower almost in half. Well there is still no definitive proof, I'm going to mark this up as a win.
