My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 082924

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas, today is Thursday, August 29, 2024. It’s going to be a mostly sunny day with a high of 93 degrees.

Happy Belated Birthday to:

Celia Klein
Terri Alford (may she rest in peace)
Clara Jones (my Sweet Angel)
Shannon Wherry
Steve Chan

Happy Birthday to:

David Watson
Kimberly Julian Arnold
Thomasea Hall

Good Morning, Possums and happy Friday Eve. The three-day weekend is almost here and so is the month of September. Where did August go?

I am heading out to a Board meeting this afternoon followed by a mixer with potential new Board members. There are about thirty ‘potentials’ attending. That’s great!

GENERAL UPDATE

Still holding steady at my baseline and enjoying my last week of no medical appointments. It has been so nice not seeing any doctors, go to the hospital to be poked and prodded and stuck with needles. No blood has been drawn. My plasma is probably filthy as sin but that will be taken care of next Friday!

PODCAST

We will record episode one of season two in 11 days. Live episode date(s) will be announced very soon, so mark your calendars and get ready to cal in and ask us questions and talk to the cast.

Season One is available in its entirety wherever you download your podcasts and/or for your viewing pleasure on you Youtube.

MEDICALLY SPEAKING

Again…holding steady but I can tell it’s about time for some clean, fresh plasma.

KANKLE NEWS

Still no ankles.

Anyhoozle, that’s all I have for today, Possums. Time for me to get some things done. What’s on your calendar? I hope you all have a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything 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.

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ

Good Morning, Possums and happy Monday.  Time to kick off another work week.  I would imagine that everyone is working for the three-day (maybe four-day) weekend ahead.


I hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend.  Mine was good and productive.  On Saturday, I toured a podcast studio that we will be using once (maybe twice) to produce live shows (heard internationally) of our podcast, “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere, Henny”.  It’s a great setup.  Our show will stream live on all platforms and be available to watch live on Youtube as well.  We will be able to take calls from listeners during the show.  I will share all of that information the closer we get to the broadcast date.


I am still looking for some part-time, work-from-home work.  If you know of anything please let me know.


GENERAL UPDATE

 

Still holding steady at my baseline and currently enjoying another week of NO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.


PODCAST


WE will record episode one of season two in 14 days.  Also, we may be having a live podcast episode (or two) in Season 2(which will return the week of September 9).


Season One is available in its entirety wherever you download your podcasts and/or for your viewing pleasure on you Youtube.


MEDICALLY SPEAKING


Again…holding steady.  Fighting and pushing through some fatigue but that comes with the MS territory.  It’s frustrating but I can either give in to it (which I WILL NOT do), or push through it,  I choose the latter.

No Birthdays on my calendar today.
HAPPY 64th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY to my mom and dad.
Good Morning, Possums and Happy Hump Day. We made it half way through the week.
It has been a busy few days - mostly on the phone researching my insurance options. My COBRA ends at the end of October so I am looking for insurance my neurologist/UTSW will take.
I only need it for a few months, then I can go on Medicare. You know, that’s not a sentence I ever thought I would type, think or say at this age. HA! But life has dealt me my next hand and these are the cards I have to play and play them I shall - with a gracious and thankful smile on my face and a dirty martini to wash it all down.
GENERAL UPDATE
My status is the same. I’m back at my baseline - holding steady. Also, I am currently enjoying three weeks of NO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. It’s a little slice of heaven.

WE will record episode one of season two in 19 days. Also, we may be having a live podcast episode (or or two) in Season 2.

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

Yesterday was productive. We decluttered my office and did some meal prep - I helped! Viola picked up some prescriptions for me and then we had lunch and started catching up on “The Real Housewives of Dubai”. I feel bad that I have her hooked on it now. OK, I don’t feel that bad. :)

Also, I was on the phone with Social Security for over TWO HOURS yesterday before I finally got an answer. EXHAUSTING!

Not too much going on today. I have PLEX (Plasma Exchange) at 1pm. I am hopeful that it will be uneventful and go by very fast with no issues…and that I get a fun nurse to perform the procedure.

Perhaps afterwards, I might enjoy an adult beverage and catch up with my friends.

GENERAL UPDATE

Back at my baseline - holding steady.

Happy Birthday to:

Shiloh Shannon

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

Yesterday was quite the busy day for me full of medical appointments and ending in a trip to the Boardroom. It may not seem like a lot to most people, but when you have to get in and out of the car and on and off of examination tables (and stylist chairs) for 5 hours straight and your legs seem to be there only for show that day…….well, it tends to be a bit exhausting.

However, I was reunited with my assistant Viola yesterday. She has been on vacation and yesterday was her first day back. We had a great time catching up. I fended for myself while she was gone (I was on vaycay as well for most of that time and I didn’t want anyone else).

GENERAL UPDATE

I’m going in for some blood work later this morning and then it’s home to make some phone calls and take care of some business.

PODCAST

WE will record episode one of season two in 26 days. Also, we may be having a live podcast episode (or or two) in Season 2. We will soon be touring a few podcast studios and discussing all of the services they offer. We will be able to take calls on the live shows. Stay tuned. Season 2 will return the week of September 9.

MEDICALLY SPEAKING

I’m doing well. My legs and the heat are not playing well together but I am pushing through and getting where I need to be and doing things I need/want to do.

KANKLE NEWS

Still NO kankles.
