Life goes on

Wow, it took me forever to figure out how to get into this to write a new blog.  I guess I need to make time to write out the directions.  I am happy I am still laughing out this situation.  Oh well, life goes on..............

It is so strange that with PD you never know from moment to moment on how you are going to feel.  Today, I went over to plant some flowers and veggies with my Great Nephew, Barrett.  We did get it accomplished, however, I had to ask my sister,  Barbara, for help.  My hands didn't want to cooperate putting together the little greenhouse.  I did my best, but didn't get frustrated.  I guess I have realized that some times I need help. 

I had another fall.  This time, I was sleeping on the couch and all of a sudden my body took a leap and I fell on the coffee table and broke it.  I hurt for a few days and have a bruised arm.  I guess I need a bed rail for the couch too.  LOL!!!

I am still looking for my purpose in life.  I have been taking it easy and doing my exercises at home and doing my best cleaning the house.  I get a little done each day.  I only leave my house to go visit the boys and from time to time run to the store with Tony.    Oh well, life goes on...........

Chaos, Crisis & Life

I'm not trying to rush my life, but I can't wait for the month of August to be gone.  There has been so much chaos in my life this month.  My husband started having double vision earlier in the month.  He has to wear a patch over one eye so he can continue working and continue with life.  He has been through testing and still to this day we are unsure why the double vision or when and/if it will go away. 

Over the past 5-6 day, both of us have had a viral infection, which has kept us in bed for days.   I'm starting to get stir crazy from being in doors so much.  Since we got ill, I have been neglecting my parkinson's meds on a regular basis.  It has been hard to keep up with the family, laundry, dishes (even though not cooking this week), and being ill and taking care of myself and Tony.  I have been sleeping a lot and a little out of connection with life in general.  Hopefully, I will get back to life soon.

I hope when others have to go through this type of chaos and crisis that they can just keep faith and realize their illness will pass.

I've been having problems with my memory.  I have been forgetting id's and passwords and how to get in and out of computer programs.  My dementia is really kicking in.  Today, it took me a while, but I got in here.  Therefore, I'm going to tell you what has been going on in my life. 

A couple of my face book friends that have Parkinson's are really having some problems.  They are both really young in age and I hate to hear the pain they are in because of this disease.  Please keep them in your prayers.

I went to my new Neurologist the other day.  She is great.  Told me to continue with my meds and come back in 4-6 months.  We are still working on some lab work to find out about my feet and hands, plus try to figure out why the M-Spike.  I will update you on that again later.

My new companion Ellie Mae is doing well.  She is now 7 months old.  She loves to jump and chew.  We work on correcting this everyday.  I am now taking her out side from the basement where her room is.  I was afraid she was going to knock me down the steps.  So now I'm taking the safe route.

We got the swimming pool.  I can now do my exercises at home.   My body is still aching since I started the water exercise because I am using muscles that I didn't before.  Everyday I can't wait to get in it for more exercise.  It is really helping me.

Thanks for listening.  Got to rest.
