Trying

Oh joy!
Life can be whatever we make it, can’t it?
Just finished reading another blog I follow.
This gal has gotten into it big time and she is very capable of making this thing called blogging a dream machine…
Styles of writing are as different as people are though I must admit I am still trying real hard to do a better job than this!
We all think what we have to say is of some importance and that’s why we
share, yet some have a natural aptitude in presentation and so is the case with
my contemporary of the other blog notoriety, let’s face it… she is good!

She also handles life with more ease and class than I seem to have these fateful days… or perhaps ever! She’s basically on her own except for a very reliable son who at times appears to be as helpful as even my own Hubby!
You see, as I have given you the link above to her blog site she too has MS, but apparently has a better ability to handle it than me… oh how I long for more positivity and to feel better or as good as she seems to be! But it was not always the case for her until she had that CCVSI procedure, and now she is doing really great!
Hooray for her! I am thrilled beyond belief to hear of her most recent accomplishments!

And so from now on I will make a concerted effort to change things for the better too! TA DA!
As soon as I feel better… that is… you see that I have been keeping my health issues sort of on hold from all of you since I thought you have heard quite enough about them and you too must be as sick and tired of all of it as much as I am sick and tired with it too.
But this infection in my jaw apparently was in the bone and the penicillin wasn’t good enough to do the job and so last night the doc changed me over to Cipro 1000 MG daily, yep the stuff used for Anthrax!
Ciprofloxacin 500 mg. 2X a day works by stopping the growth of bacteria and in my particular case to rid the bone of infection.
So far I have only had two and with the good old fashioned penicillin I had fourteen, in a total of seventy-two hours worth and nothing seemed to happen for the better.
And so now I am hopeful, but last night was not too good either, you got that right yes I was up once again!

Today I did get to go out… for some fun and some dutiful occasion, went to the hospital for my yearly mammy-gram that is, mammography! But Hubby took me to the cultural center for lunch and a roll around the complex there, which has shops, a theater and classrooms as well as the cafeteria where we ate, he had chops and I had stew, thirst quenched on behalf of my water bottle and his by purchased coffee, all for a bargain price. It may have been a bit of a mistake since my mouth is not quite right for eating out with its cavernous opening on the lower left and still quite sore upper one above the hole, oh well! I must admit though it was great just to get out into this glorious fall-like weather we had, and more is predicted throughout the weekend! Mid seventies sun shinning and low humidity…ah Florida it is nearly predictable at this time of the year, gotta love it!

I am currently waiting for seven P.M. for another dose of my super drug, but sadly my left side of my face is still swollen and I am in still quite a bit of pain all the way up to that ear on that side! I must have been a very, very bad girl… because BAD Karma is catching up to me? (I am frowning with tears)
And you know something… all those years, nearly thirty on and off of volunteering and trying to help others for free, don’t seem to help counter all the apparent bad that I must have done… any suggestions?

In my head I have one big one and that is to listen to my own advice, yep.
When I am well enough to find something I care about in the realm of helping others similar to how I have in the past, and then get on with it with as much gusto as I can manage!
You know folks my happiest times were when I was selflessly helping others for that personal rush it gave to me! I am soooo bad!
Tis the season… so let’s all go out and do something we know will make a difference, how about that, for making your heart and other’s hearts feel better too?
Challenge yourself to be that person you always admired.
And then when done… look in the mirror and experience that wonderful sensation for yourself and smile!

On that note of let’s all be good to one another… folks I am doing self talk here, OK?

Happy night to all and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time be here of be square, OK?
