My husband walks the dog, and I use potty pads for night time. She likes to sit on my lap, so I take that time to brush her and cut where is needed around her eyes and mussel. She is part Yorki and Doxson. She has the Yorki hair and dox body. I have to keep her hair short around her face or I am always cleaning it after meal time. If I don’t get…[Read more]

Hi Debi, It is indeed difficult for me to do daily tasks. Even brushing my teeth. I had to get an electric tooth brush. Before I was diagnosed I could not figure out why my arm got so fatigued. I had to stop mid way and rest. So much better now. I have been trying to find little ways to cope better. Shower/bath chair, toilet rails. I can still go…[Read more]

Ed Tobias, I work on my core and stretches on my legs, I try to work on my arms but I have been getting a lot of pain as of late. I have a gym in my garage. I wish I had a bike. I can not do much on my legs as Debi also mentioned. I find if I don’t anything, my legs are harder to deal with. I do 40 setups every other day along with weight work out…[Read more]

This is a good post! I have been wondering the same thing. My come and goes are, my voice leaves and sometimes it is an all day deal. I have recently found if I eat a Popsicle it helps, or a cold pack on my neck. My eye wobble or shake. So, no more driving. Bladder and bowels come and go. Either I am running to the restroom or sitting and sitting…[Read more]

Hi Debi, I use a four leg cane around the house. Walls, chairs and sofa to hold onto when walking. I don’t go anywhere except the doctor’s. Only one time they had to wheel me out in a wheel chair because my eyes decided they were going to go cross on me. I got really disoriented. I had to teach my husband how to do the shopping. I used one of…[Read more]

Stress.

I always loved to host dinners. Thanksgiving and Christmas. The last three or so years I noticed I was down for about a week or so afterwards. Last year I had to tell my kids, mom can’t do this anymore. It’s your turn. Thus far, no one has called me to ask me over to their home for Christmas celebration. In a way, I am relieved. I spend…[Read more]

Happy 60th Birthday Cathy Chester!.. Im right behind you.  Goal Setting. I set a goal about 7 months back to eat better and work out more. I got off gluten and dairy and animal fats, trying to get off sugar but I just love my coffee creamer. That is a tough one. I joined WW. I have a gym in my garage. So, started walking on tread mill about 1 or…[Read more]
