It has been another very long day. I had such severe pain as I came near my 4 hr injection times it was hard to deal with (mostly tireing and frustrating that I had to go to the hospital as I now know I have other options that should be made available to me and [Read more]
Pipe Cleaner Fun This afternoon, when Emeraude would normally take her nap, we settled on my bed with a mountain of pipe cleaners and worked on the craft I had found from MarthaStewart.com the other day. The instructions were very clear, definitely a fine motor development activity, and tons [Read more]
The last 2 weeks have been very long and yet have flown by so quickly… Last week we travelled to Thunder Bay, an expense I could not afford for an appointment I did not feel was in any way necessary which made it quite stressful and I am still trying to figure out how I [Read more]
Posting photos for now, will try and fill in the story later as time permits (and pain levels… having a worse than usual day for pain). [Read more]
Though I have to be aware of how much physical activity I do, I have come to realize that in regards to living with multiple sclerosis it does not seem to generally make a difference as to fatigue or pain levels afterwards. Having said that, keep in mind that no two people diagnosed with multiple [Read more]
Had some spare time @ the hospital earlier and took advantage of it to make this video… [Read more]
proud memories of being a little girl and my Dad coming home from work sweeping our street so that I could roller skate - without getting tripped up by rocks. [Read more]
I continue to work diligently on the Emeraude Exploring collection. Last week we visited Canada Post. Jen was AWESOME! Emeraude enjoyed herself very much and we both learned all about the journey an envelope takes through the post office. The photos went well (unfortunately, the Post Master is shy [Read more]
LOL… that’s Emeraude’s motiviational song for when she & Lloyd are doing there Saturday morning garbage pick up around the house, great tune lol Spent way too much of my morning at the hospital earlier although it’s hard to complain about it when Vickie drove me and lost [Read more]
this excruciating, dibilatating pain in my bones like I have rods being shoved up my legs, arms, my hands and feet being a pile of broken bones that if I could somehow keep in one piece I would get some break from it... I know that there are answers to me having [Read more]
On a different note, I was advised today that my readership included a group I was not previously aware of. Apparently there are some among the staff @ MGH (our local hospital) who are fond (or perhaps that's not quite the right word lol) let's say who have noticed my blog. Apparently some are [Read more]
Ok, another very busy day (in spite of having less than adequate supplies of energy). The kids were a huge help. So was Vickie as she has been ever since my symptoms began coming back with a vengeance last week. She goes beyond giving me rides to the hospital and has been calling to arrange [Read more]
When I finally got called in Mrs. Ormston had completely won Emeraude over ...and she (E) had no interest in accompanying me lol. Mrs. Ormston said she didn't mind her staying with her to play and I knew this was sincere and that she was in great hands so let Emeraude stay with her having fun... [Read more]
It is great to see just how much she trusts him, Emeraude began feeling weary of swinging last summer...much more impressive when she kept asking to sit on Lloyd so he could pump them so hard they were up side down ... [Read more]
I needed to stop by the hospital first for a dilaudid injection before the three of us went to play at the Lion’s beach to play (Lloyd would be heading out for NSSSAA in Geraldton tomorrow) and the kids went by the cafeteria for some sandwhiches in the meantime. After eating they headed [Read more]
