Can You Hear Me Now?

The past couple days ~

• I’ve been putting myself to bed (wipe, wash, undress) all by myself for the past few nights. Now that is PROGRESS!
• Everyone is amazed at how my wrist has healed. I give credit to all the meditation and visualization I’ve been doing.
• After my assessment yesterday, it looks like I’ll be heading home late next week! That gives me a few days to get all the GST returns filed that are due July 31.
• Woman’s World magazine had an article about Pets that Heal, and it said the purrs from cats heal and strengthen bones!! The sound frequency is the same that clinics use on osteoperosis patients. I did a Google search and there’s tons of info on that! So I guess I made the right investment.
• Famous words around this place lately: “what a bloody life.” “I’m no use to anybody anymore.” “So, it’s come to this.” Sigh.
• I received a phone call from a cute guy I met back in May; he wants to get together this week (to talk taxes ) Good timing.
• Blanche now knows her daughters want her in a nursing home, one close to her husband. They use the “dad would like that” excuse, but she knows her husband doesn’t even know who she is anyway, so what difference does it make? I worry about what she might do if she doesn’t get to go home, but I worry what would happen if she did. (I worry too much). I know she won’t be going home though, her daughters have Power of Attorney.
• Our Rec. Aide has another job at a fancy make-up counter place and wants to do a makeover on me. I may take her up on it, if she promises not to make me look like a ‘ho… I also need a haircut, highlights, manicure and pedicure at my salon. I CAN’T WAIT.
• I got a shower last night!
• Someone finally turned the calendar to “July” that is hanging in our room. The picture? A field of sunflowers
• Blanche found her mother’s wedding ring.
• They want to move Elaine to a nursing home. Nooooo!!! If I was in better health, I would so take her home with me to live. She said I am the second person with MS to make that offer. She’s too independent for a nursing home. She’s just incontinent and doesn’t like to admit it.
• Most of the unused cells are tossed anyway. I am pissed at Bush, but what else is new.
• Elaine asked me “what’s for dinner tonight?” I answered “I forget”. She said “Well, I dunno… but ‘I forget’ doesn’t sound very tasty”. LOL
• Coming out of my room with my walker, Clive was right there hunched over his, too. “I’ll race ya!” he said. “You could make a little money… Oh, wait, you don’t want money. You want PEANUT BUTTER!” heehee (I steal the peanut butter packets out of our bowl every morning).
• Ken came by this afternoon with a soy vanilla latte and a coupon for a free one He also told me I could use a couple of his Westjet Buddy passes ($35 + taxes each way) to go to Montreal in September!
• I have TWO Frappuccinos left. I’m not sure if that’s a cry for help, or a point of pride at how well I have paced myself.
