I really hate this! I am sneezing, sniffly, nose stuffy and generally
achy and yucky!!!! I know…..it’s that
time of the year. Doesn’t make one feel
any better though!
I was hoping to get a few
things done this week. So far I have
blown my nose a couple of thousand times and sneezed almost that many. Soup is about the only thing that tastes
halfway decent and I just want to lie around and do nothing. Not that I don’t love soup…….it is one of my
favorite things. I guess it is like most
things, if you have to do something it is not half as much fun as if you want
to do it.
I was talking with a couple
of my MS friends and they are having a rough time with sinus infections and
colds also. One of the problems with those types of illnesses is that we are
already burdened with a bad case of fatigue and this does not help the
situation.
I am still thrilled with the
cooler weather, though. It is wonderful
to get up in the morning and feel the crisp air. It seemed like it was going to stay hot and
humid forever.
The trees are also trying to
start showing off their pretty autumn colors.
Some of them are really beginning to look nice and colorful. Like snow, the world in your own backyard
takes on a new look and doesn’t seem like the same place.
I am sitting here wondering
where this autumn and winter will take us on our life’s journey. I am getting more and more unable to walk
very far and cannot walk at all without help. We
are, as all are, getting older. My
mother is getting more and more to the point where we don’t feel comfortable
leaving her to care for Buffy and Hadji. I hope we will not get to the place where we
will be stuck at home all the time and become stifled in our lives. I can pretty much entertain myself, but my
husband and I do enjoy short trips, going out to eat and visiting friends and
family.
Life is so full of ups and
downs. When our nephew, Jamie, had
quadruple bypass surgery Monday, it almost seemed surreal. He has always been such a lively, happy
person who made everyone around him feel welcomed and loved. Although I thank God for Jamie’s surgery
going well, I wonder how he will be from this point on. I hope it does not change him into a fearful,
sad person.
I remember when I fell and
broke my leg six years ago. Although it
mended nicely, I have been extra cautious about getting up out of my seat and
starting to move forward. I guess all happenings
in our lives change us in one way or the other.
In talking with one of my MS
friends today, she told me that there is another twist and turn in the
neurology department in our county. I
have mentioned that there has been quite the turnover in that department and I
have been under the care of three different doctors there in the past seven
years. Annie informed me that her neuro
is now leaving that practice. What is
with these people? Do they not realize
that just up and leaving their patients to fend for themselves is not right? No notice, no reference to another doctor,
just leave! She is now in the same boat
I am in seeking another neuro. Wish us
luck!!
I hope all of you are
well. I am going to warm some chicken
noodle soup and see about getting ready to go upstairs and take it easy for the
rest of the day…….after I blow my nose………and spray my nose……and sneeze……and
cough……

Sorry you are not feeling well. I just got over a cold myself. No fun. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Judy.....I know it will get better I just wish it would hurry up!! :)
Janie, that stinks that you caught a cold! It won't be long until my allergies start up, then I'll be Blowy, Sneezey, Coughy, Snuffly, Wheezy, Droopy, and Grumpy -- the new seven dwarfs! Get well!
Peace,
Muff
