Just two more days...

In just two more days it will be exactly one whole year since I started writing this Blog, and what an amazing feat that is for me. You see I have not in the past few years had what you would call someone who has stick-to-itiveness. Don’t get me wrong, over my nearly 59 years on this planet I have spent many long periods with being involved in things that I really cared about, for example: my relationship with my husband will be 42 years old this August, although we have only been married for about 38 and a half. I did take dancing lessons for 12 years, voice and choir for 7 years and piano for 5 years, not too bad, huh? My education has been diverse in many areas but I took the basics for about fifteen, but then more classes over many years in all different interests from creative writing to law to medical issues, which gave me educational credit units through my volunteering all those years, since I stopped working for money when I became ill. And far as my working history goes it has been many different types of jobs from credit managing for a major department store to co-owning three businesses with my hubby to working in promotion and for an International company, all those for on and off for 32 years.

Any-way, last night was a miserable night for me. My spasticity returned with a vengeance! I awoke stiff and in extreme pain, fortunately I remembered I still had my Baclofen, my anti-spasmodic, that I had avoided taking, but I took it this morning at 8 A.M. and by 11A.M. I was able to put my walker back in the closet. I had taken it out feeling that I needed it to help me get around the house, I hate it, but it does help when need be. I much prefer using the walls and furniture to hold onto when at home and my scooter for outside and long excursions. But right now the pain is returning so I guess I’m not out of the woods yet. The directions on the medication say that I can take it three times a day, but I was going to wait until bedtime to take another dose. I guess that idea is shot to heck, and so I just took another while I am writing perhaps I will get some relief.

A few upsetting pieces of news today: the train wreck in D.C. claimed 9 lives according to the last information from our news.
Another item in the news is that Ed Mc Mahon passed away today at the age of 86, what a personality and he will be sorely missed by all.
Sadly, Farah Fawcett is back in the hospital today and not doing too well, but still giving it her all to fight her anal cancer. Ryan is ready willing and able to marry her, and he is also trying to get their son, Redman released from prison to see his mother. We wish the family well.

It is time to wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
