Speak To Me
Here’s what people (me, mostly) are saying about their MS….. What would YOU say about your multiple sclerosis? Tell me with a comment. …
Not So Ninja
My home has been overrun with ninjas. Not the mercenary type…..kitchen appliances! Ninja has become the new nameplate of kitchen gadgetry and more. Maker of the popular air fryer (we have), coffee makers, food processors, blenders (we have), toaster ovens, cookers, just about anything you can think of—Ninja makes it. Well, sort of. …
Button Holed
So many of my shirts come with extra buttons–but I’m not sure why. I have never used any of them. They are always just there. Hanging around. Riding the coattails (shirttails, in this case). Patiently waiting for their big break. Their opportunity to show what they can do. They are like a fastener under-study. The kid …
MS Health Assessment
As one with multiple sclerosis, you may be familiar with the pre-appointment health assessment. It’s basically a series of questions about your current condition, mood, symptoms, lifestyle…stuff like that. The health assessment gives your caregiver a better understanding of where you are as a patient, how you are coping with your condition and alerts …
The Nose Have It
During the pandemic I have found a new calling. An interest. A hobby. Almost an obsession. You see during these mask-wearing, difficult times I have become preoccupied by the nose. And the seemingly difficult time some have of keeping their nose snuggled within their mask, in particular. I’ve never had that problem. Maybe …
Crying In A Field
Multiple sclerosis has stolen a lot from me. It’s taken my ability to walk and run. Affected the way I think and talk. Disrupted how I sleep. Erased my energy. And squashed my vitality. MS has changed the way I drive. How I work, socialize & bathe. Pretty much every aspect of my life …
23 & Me
From the title you may think this post is about the popular DNA genetic testing company, 23andMe. Well, wrong you are my friend. (Although personally this subject matter is equally as complicated.) You see in THEIR world, the number 23 refers to the 23-pairs of chromosomes in human DNA. The genetic …
A Christmas Bender
Enjoy this repeat of an older My Odd Sock… The realities of life are sometimes difficult to accept. When things aren’t like you imagine them to be. I’ve been going through a difficult period lately as one of my life long idols appears to be in trouble. I have admired this man …
A Big Red Bow
Putting a big red bow on a gift carries significant meaning. A big red bow says this is it! The top gift! None better! What you always wanted! A show stopper! That’s why you don’t put a big red bow on dish towels, socks or underwear. A big red bow belongs …
Treat Yo Self
That’s right. Go ahead. Indulge. Treat yourself. You deserve it! After dealing with all the shenanigans MS has to offer…the sleepless nights, the falls, constant potty breaks, spasms, vertigo, fatigue, you name it–you also had to cope with a pandemic in 2020! Add it up and you are MORE than deserving of a treat …
