My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 010925

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Possums!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Thursday, January 9, 2025. It’s going to be a cloudy, rainy, snowy day with a high of 34 degrees.

Happy Birthday to:

Mara Morhouse

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Thursday.

It’s cold and snowing (right now) here in Dallas. The forecast this morning said we would be getting one-to-five inches but it keeps changing. No idea what the forecast is now. Regardless, it’s pretty falling down in the trees and on the ground. I do not think it will stop me from having my plasma exchange tomorrow afternoon and that’s a good thing.

This time next week I will be in New York City; hopefully celebrating our arrival with an appropriate cocktail I’m thinking an Old Fashion (made with a good whiskey) or a martini. You think it would be a Manhattan, but no.

We will be seeing the play, “Oh, Mary” tonight. This will be the second show of a four (or five) show week - hanging seen “Come From Away” the night before we leave. Reviews on all shows upon my return to Dallas.

So today is dedicated to laundry and deciding what to pack and what to wear. It’s going to be chilly in NYC but that’s no big deal. I’m a little excited.

The results from my MRI are in, but I don't understand all the medical lingo do I will have to wait until my appointment with my neurologist on Monday.

Season three of our podcast will begin the week of February 3rd.

I have no kankles today.

Anyhoozle, that’s all I have for today, Possums. Have a wonder Thanksgiving and a Joyous Holiday Season. 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

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Possums!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Wednesday, January 8, 2025. It’s going to be a partly sunny day with a high of 41 degrees.

Happy Birthday to:

Robert Contreras

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Tuesday. Can you feel it? - the children’s excitement of possible snow days their first week back at school; the adults who aren’t allowed to work from home may get to work from home; all the grocery stores running low on water, toilet paper and batteries; and finally, the meteorologists on every network on every channel jumping with joy over the first weather event of 2025.

Yes, we are going to get snow; one to three inches. Even the chance of snow has always been exciting. It makes no difference to me. While I hope it is a pretty snow and the kids do get out of school to enjoy it, I have stuff to do: laundry, cleaning, plasma exchange (PLEX).

I have a little bit of work and planning to do for my trip next week but that’s fun - not really work.

My MRI was yesterday. Not only was it a nightmare, it was a nightmare with a hair stuck to it. For three hours, I was stuffed in that infernal tube with a technician who had a very bad case of the Crabby McNasties. She was forever telling me to be still. Well, that is not something I can control. If I am in one position too long, my damaged nerves will twitch my legs - nothing I can control.

I explained that to her several times but it did not seem to sink in through her thick head. Regardless, it is over until my six month check-up.

Season three of our podcast will begin the week February 3rd.

I have semi-kankles today. Thank goodness for PLEX 0n Friday.

Anyhoozle, that’s all I have for today, Possums. Have a wonder Thanksgiving and a Joyous Holiday Season. 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.

My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 010725

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Possums!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Tuesday, January 7, 2025. It’s going to be a partly sunny day with a high of 40 degrees.

Good Morning, Possums and Happy New Year.
I hope everyone had a great day Holiday with family and/or friends and enjoyed some fun, fellowship and fantastic food.

My holiday time at home was the best. Sadly I did not get to see everyone I wanted to see, but my schedule was packed tight. And being with mom and dad everyday was priceless. I think we got dad back on the road to recovery and he is much better.

I have been back in Dallas for one week. This has allowed me the time to prep and schedule for my trip to NYC. Unfortunately, aside from getting my head shaved, beard trimmed, and a mani/pedi, everything is medically related.

It all begins today- I have my annual 3-hour MRI. I cannot contain my excitement. Once again I am foregoing any sedatives because apparently I move around. And If I move around in there they have to redo that part of the MRI which prolongs my time in that god-awful machine. So I stay quiet, still and suffer in claustrophobic silence.

Next up is plasma exchange. I have not had PLEX since early December. It’s time. I can tell. My legs do not want to cooperate. Some of the problem is the cold weather. MS hates the cold.

It looks like we will be getting snow/sleet this Thursday and Friday. It will be pretty see but it will NOT be around long.

We have two more podcasts this year before taking a break until 2025.

Season three of our podcast will begin the week February 3rd.

I have kankles today hence the need for PLEX this Friday.

Anyhoozle, that’s all I have for today, Possums. Have a wonder Thanksgiving and a Joyous Holiday Season. 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
