My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 013123

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.  Today is Tuesday, January 31, 2023.  It’s a sweltering 27 degrees in Big D today and it’s yucky outside.  Freezing rain and sleet today and more coming tomorrow.


Happy Birthday to:


Allison Sojouner DeYoung

Michele Gough


Good Morning, Possums - Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is staying warm (if you are being affected by this wintry mix).


I stayed at home today (one of my days to be in the office).  I may not make it in on Thursday - we shall see.  It’s not going to be above freezing until late Thursday morning.


BroadwayDallas announced our season package of shows for next year.  It’s an OK roster of shows but I am going to be selling some of mine - one particular may be for sale - Hamilton.  yes, it’s creative and bald, blah, blah - but I just didn’t think it was all that.  I know I am in the minority on this one, but I have seen shows that are much better (in my opinion).  I didn’t leave the theater singing or humming a single song from that show.  This, to me, is an indicator I didn’t much care for it.


But we shall see - I may give it another shot.  I’ll decide the closer it gets to showtime.


My legs are behaving in this cold weather (cuz I’m staying inside).  I am actually ready for my next MRI (and the valium I take when I get it).  I cannot wait to see what this new treatment has done/is doing.  I know it’s doing some good.  I just want to see if the lesions are inactive and not being a pain in my ass (brain/spinal cord).


OK - That’s it for today, possums.  Y’all stay warm and safe.  


What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  


Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.  -AJ

My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 013023

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.  Today is Monday, January 30, 2023.  It’s a sweltering 28 degrees in Big D today and it’s getting yucky outside.  Freezing rain and sleet are in the forecast for the next few days so I’ll be staying inside.


Happy Birthday to:


Stephen Dunn

Stephen Schnorbus


Good Afternoon, Possums - Happy Monday. Time to kick off a new work week.  I hope everyone is staying warm.  It’s a little cold outside.    Not to worry.  I have plenty of work to do to keep me busy.


I keep waiting for the cold weather to start jacking up my legs, but nothing has affected them so far (thank goodness).  Hopefully as long as I stay inside, I should be good.  I may cancel my occupational therapy appointment on Wednesday morning (depending on how the roads are) but I’m gonna play that one by ear.  You never know with Dallas weather if the cold stuff is really going to happen or not.


Don’t you know the local news meteorologists are loving this.  They live for these weather-related events.  They get more screen time.  LOL


My only concern is the Texas power grid.  Int is supposed to be ‘ready’ but every time the news shows a picture of it on the news or on television, it looks like it could be knocked over with the slightest wind.  It’s not a real confidence-builder.


And then there are the grocery stores.  You know they are having a field day.  All the water is gone.  The toilet paper is gone.  And I bet their delivery services are going non-stop.


Oh well - ’tis the season.  I am going to get back to work.  Y’all stay warm.


What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  


Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.  -AJ

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.  Today is Sunday, January 29, 2023.  It’s going to be a mostly cloudy day in Dallas with a high of 49. 


No birthdays on my calendar today.


Good Morning, Possums - Happy Sunday.  It’s the start of a brand new week.  It’s going to start off yucky.  The temperature is going to drop all day and the rain rolls in later this evening through Thursday.  So get ready for cold, rainy week.


I am going to start the hunt (AGAIN) for my personal assistant.  I thought I had one this time, but the right one will come along.  I just need to be patient.


My feet/ankles remain feet/ankles and not kankles.  This new treatment seems to have done some good.  However, my body informs me when it is time to take it again.  The numbness and tingling begins to return, but at least it retreats for a little bit.  I will take that over not retreating at all over any day of the week.


OK - I need to prepare for the week and I think I will start my taxes today as well.


What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

Good Morning, Possums - Happy Saturday and Happy Weekend.  It has been a very busy week - busy, but productive.


*This post contains a few expletives and colorful metaphors!


I guess the big thing that happened (to me) would be my trips into the office on Tuesday and Thursday.  While it was great to be in the office with my teaming everyone, it was a beat down.  My body needs to build up some strength because I was wiped out whenI got home.


Wednesday, I got the Botox in my legs and as expected, my legs were transformed and rejuvenated into those of a young, vibrant Juliette Prowse.  But that’s not the only thing that happened…


All Wednesday morning as I fixed and ate my breakfast, worked and got ready to go to the Botox doctor, little things would happen that pissed me off:  dropping things that were difficult (for me) to pick up, running into that, hitting my foot on this - and testing my already dysfunctional relationship with God, I told him in no uncertain terms, that he could get down off of his high, holy thrown and help me out a little bit (like I had asked him earlier in my morning prayers).


Well, I thought my prayers fell on deaf ears because things continued to happen that (I thought) he could have easily prevented - things (I thought) should not happen to anyone with MS (not just me) or any other debilitating disease.  So I continued to be mad at him.


I went downstairs to get my Uber to the doctor.  My Uber driver pulled up in an Escapade which I climbed alley myself.  As we began the trip, she was playing and rapping along with the music.  It was some hard core rap about shooting and killing and the “N” word was used a good bit as well as some rough language.  Having the mouth of a sailor, the rough language was fine with me.


About half way to the hospital, my Uber driver turned the music down and said, hand to God, “Mr. Jones, my heart is telling me to tell you that Jesus loves you.”


Well shit!  He couldn’t have sent me that message a few hours ago?  My Botox appointment went well as did the rest of my day.


Thursday was quite busy.  I was in the office for eight hours and that evening, I went to see theBroadway touring productions “Pretty Woman, the Musical.”


Yes, the movie (of the same name) has been transformed into a musical.  And like so many other films that have suffered the same transformation, that transformation never should hav happened.


While the musicals boasted some fire power from Adam Pascal, Tony nominee for his performance in “Rent”, another show I’d rather roll around naked in broken glass than sit through again, it just didn’t work.  And the young woman playing Vivienne tried as hard as she could, but her singing was pitchy at best.


The entire cast (in my opinion) was entirely too young for their parts and they were either not believable or tended to overact because, I can only imagine, this tour was their professional debut.  


The choreography was juvenile at best and not up to the standards (again, in my opinion) of a musical on there main stem.


Here’s my take on musicals - if I don’t leave the show with at least one of the songs playing on repeat in my head, then I’m sorry - that dog just won’t hunt.  While the show didn’t completely suck, it is not one I care to see again.


In MS/Kankle news, I am still moving around fairly well and my kankles remain at bay.  I cannot even begin to tell how nice it is to look down and see two feet instead two hooves.


In Personal Assistant news, I made an offer - a very nice offer - and i believe I have been ghosted again!  Seriously!  Can you believe it?  I am going to keep searching until I find someone reliable that is not a complete flake!


Whew - I have been holding that in for two days!   OK, I need to start my weekend.


What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  


Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.  -AJ

My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 012523b

Hello again, Possums - Especially my MS Possums.
I just got back from getting my botox in my legs and I Ubered - didn’t feel like driving. The driver pulled up in an Escalade. Those are pretty high off the ground so I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to step up and get in. No matter, it took a little doing but I STEPPED UP ALL MY MYSELF WITH BOTH LEGS and got into the car. PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I couldn't do that three weeks ago, or hell, even last week. Don't give up MS Warriors. Keep fighting the good fight even if it's baby steps!
OK, that’s it. Have a great day! Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Hump Day. We have made it half way through the week. I went into the office yesterday and worked for almost nine hours. I was wiped out last night. I am not quite ready for those hours yet. On top of that it was rainy and cold yesterday - it was nice to get home and get comfortable.

Back to working at home today. I would love to stay inside today but I have a Botox appointment (in my legs, not my face) at 11:15am. But that will not take too long.

I am pleased to report that I have two feet again instead of one foot and one kankle. It feels better too but this cold weather is doing a number on my legs. Oh well, gotta push through it. I don’t control the weather……….yet! LOL

OK - I gotta get crack’in with work. What are your plans today?

Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything today with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one!

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.  Today is Monday, January 23, 2023.  It’s going to be a sunny day in Dallas with a high of 54. 


Happy Belated Birthday to:

No Birthdays on my calendar today.


Good Morning, Possums and Happy Monday.  It’s time to kick off another work week. Last week went by so fast (and that’s rare for a four-day work week - they usually drag).


I got out a little bit this weekend AND I drove my car on Saturday.  I didn’t drive far; just a few blocks.  But I got behind the wheel and my legs cooperated.  Tomorrow morning, I will decide if I can I drive to work or if I will need to take an Uber.  


While my legs seem to be cooperating a little more each day, sadly, my left foot was very puffy yesterday - almost like it was determined to become……dare I say it…..a kankle (gasp)!  It is still a little swollen today, but not like it was.  My left foot looks like a left foot (in need of a pedicure) - and for this I am grateful.   I need to email my neurologist today.  I promised her an update every few weeks  Minus the minor swelling in my leg / foot / psuedo-kankle, I think she will be pleased.


I think I may have found my personal assistant.  I need to schedule a call with her today.  But if she passes muster, it’s on.


OK - I gotta get crack’in with work.  What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Friday - Happy FriYAY and Happy Weekend!.  


I survived two days in the office this week.  But I tell you what - I was completely exhausted after each one.  Geez - it really wiped me out.  But next week will be better and I will build up my stamina.  I have to say, as much as I like working from home, it was nice being back in the office and nice seeing everyone.


I have officially doubled my daily treatment medication intake.  I started that on Wednesday and it is officially tearing up my stomach.  It took a while to adapt to the lower does so I can only imagine hat doubling the dosage may take my system a hot minute to adjust to it as well.


My legs are still cooperating for the most part.  However, at the end day of the work day, they act like they have just finished physical therapy.  On the days i work from home, I walk in down the hall with my roller a far as I can.  After the roller comes the cane…I’m just not sure when.  I don’t want to jinx it, but I think this treatment may actually be doing some good - eyes, toes, fingers, arms and legs crossed


Alright - I need to get crack’in and get to work and get more coffee.


What are your plans today / this weekend?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

No birthdays on my calendar today.

It's Friday eve and almost the weekend. I am headed back into the office today. I think I have made it through all of my email and now I need to get my projects organized and set up a few meetings.

Change is never easy and changing something on someone as OCD and anal-retentive and scheduled as I am - and I do love a schedule - well, it may take a hot minute for me to adapt.  But I will adapt. 

MS be damned!  MS Warriors Fight!

OK - my car is almost here to take me to work. What are your plans today?

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Wednesday and Happy Hump Day.  We have made it half way through the week.


I made it into the office yesterday with no issues, but I was a tad nervous for some reason.  It was good to get back and see everyone and settle back into my office.  I spent the majority of the day going through my 1100 emails, most of which were junk, and I left around 3pm.   And let me tell you - I was whooped.


As soon as i got home, around 3:30pm, I changed clothes and stretched out on the couch and woke up at 6:30pm.  And I was still tired when I woke up.


For now, I will go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursday and work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  I am comfortable with that arrangement.  Looking back at yesterday, I definitely need to start off slow.


I had no MS-related issues while I was there, but it is still difficult to believe that the building is NOT fully accessible.  We are moving to a new location next spring.  I hope that one will be.


Thank you, everyone, for you “Back-to-Work” well-wishes.  I really did appreciate them.


Alright - I need to get crack’in and get to work and make coffee - lots and lots and lots of coffee.


What are your plans today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 011723

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  

Today is Tuesday, January 17, 2023. It’s going to be a partly cloudy day in Dallas with a high of 71.

Happy Belated Birthday too:

Sallie Ann Plaxico
Tim Anglin

Happy Birthday to:

Terri Naab Versen

Good Morning, Possums. From the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas, 

Well, the day has arrived. It is not only Tuesday, but it is my first day back at work. I am allowed to go in no more than two days a week. I can handle that. It feels like it='s the first day of school. I guess that's what happens when you haven't worked or been to the office in two months. However, I still think that taking the time off was the right decision.

I think I got up too early this morning. I am showered, dressed, packed and ready to leave with 45 minutes to spare. My car does not arrive until 7am.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone and getting caught up on everything except email. I can only imagine the horror show awaiting on my Inbox sitting there for me to shuffle through today.

MS-wise, I am still using my walker around my house but using my chair everywhere else. It's best for the time being until my legs get a great deal stronger. The tingling ion my hands and feet is minimal and my shoes are still too big - NO KANKLES.

OK - I need to get crack’in and make sure I have everything I need.……and get more coffee.

It's going to be a GREAT day - not just for me but for ALL of us!

Anyhoozle, what are your plans today?

Whatever your day holds for you, do everything today with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one!  

To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight. And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You! Your support means everything.

Good Morning, Possums.  From the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas, Happy Saturday and HAPPY THREE-DAY WEEKEND!  


I am moving a bit slow (slower than normal) this morning.  Physical therapy from Thursday has kicked in for sure.  My legs are sore and a bit noodle-like - but that’s a good thing.  I know I worked hard.


Well, I did NOT win the MegaMillions lottery last night.  I sure could have used the 1.3 billion dollar jackpot, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.  Some lucky soul in Maine won.  While I am not surprised I did not win, I only hope the person that did win does something good with his new-found wealth.


I am starting off today with a trip to the Boardroom.  I haven’t had a hair cut or a shave since late November.  I look disheveled and…let’s just leave it at that.  Regardless, I need to look nice for my first day back at work on Tuesday.  


I received a few new applications for my Personal Assistant so I can review those today and there may be an afternoon nap in my future as well - going to have to play that one by ear.


OK - I need to get crack’in and start my day……with more coffee.


Anyhoozle, what are your plans today?


Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

Good Morning, Possums. From the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas, Happy Friday and Happy FriYAY, HAPPY THREE-DAY WEEKEND and Happy Friday the 13th! 


Today is also my last day of my leave from work.  I shall return to the office on Tuesday.  And I am actually going into the office.  I have to plug into the network there since I have been gone for a long period of time.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone, but I am not looking forward to going through my email.  I can only imagine how many I have.  This may take a while.


My neurologist has given me permission to go into work no more than two days a week and work from home the rest.  So, I will mask / glove up those two days and go into the office.  I just need to figure out which two days that is going to be.


I had physical therapy yesterday morning and for some reason that wiped me out. I slept a lot yesterday afternoon so today I need to be productive.  Regardless, my legs are still pretty sore.


I called and cancelled my PLEX (plasma exchange) for next week and that was sad.  After going there every week for nearly two years I am seriously going to miss those guys.  I am sure I will go back at some point (given my track record), but for the foreseeable future, I am through with PLEX.  I am keeping the port in my chest, but I am done with PLEX…..and chemo.  But that one I WILL NOT MISS!


So much to do - not sure where to start.  I wish life came with an instructional manual.  Who am I kidding?  Even if it did, I don’t think I (or too many people) would read it!  I may thumb through it from time to time or put it under the wobbly leg of a chair or table, but I probably wouldn’t read it. 


OK - I need to get crack’in and start my day……with coffee - lots and lots and lots of coffee.


Anyhoozle, what are your plans today?


Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!

Good Morning, Possums.  From the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas, Happy Wednesday and Happy Hump Day!  We have made it half way through the week!


It’s been a busy, productive week so far but I have a lot more to do before going back to work next week.  Physical therapy went well yesterday but it was hard.  Learning to walk AGAIN is not something I imagined I would be doing at my age, but here we are.  


I spoke to my neurologist yesterday and she is increasing my treatment medication.  Well actually, she is doubling the amount I take from 500mg a day to 1000mg a day.  We discussed all of the side affects and I told her three of them were of concern to me:


  1 - the risk of getting skin cancer is significantly higher so I need to stay covered up in the sun.  I guess I will be pasty year-round and I need to start going to a dermatologist for an annual Mole Patrol.


2 - I cannot donate sperm.  I am OK with this, but she wanted me to be aware of this.  I assured her that the world does not need any more of me roaming around.  It couldn’t handle it.  She agreed.


3 - I cannot breast feed.  She didn’t seem to think I needed to worry about this one too much!  Well, there goes my post-retirement career as a wet nurse.


Actually my biggest concern is what the increased dosage is going to do to my stomach.  My system will adapt to it but it may take a little time.


Multiple Sclerosis sucks!


OK - I need to get crack’in and start my day……with coffee - lots and lots and lots of coffee.


Anyhoozle, what are your plans today?


Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!
