Why does shopping have to be so painful!

Christmas shopping done & so am I! Done in & in so much pain! Sat in car waiting for DebbieRahRah whilst watching all the crazy people look for parking spaces!
The world goes mad at this time of year! This is when you never forget what month your in!

Funny old day! It must be Monday!

So far today…
*I have had the worst Xmas shopping experience ever, where I nearly got down on the floor in Argos to do some pilates stretches hoping they would relieve my back pain even if just a little! Decided against that, only because I couldn’t get down to the floor & it was filthy anyway! (Sorry Lisa Perry, thanks for the reminder but I did them when I got home!)
*I’ve been given a sample of snail gel, or ‘snail slime’ as the lovely assistant in Holland & Barrett called it! Im not even nearly tempted to try it & will gladly pass it on to abyone that would like to try it if DebbieRahRah doesn’t want to!
*The H&B assistant also gave me some lozenges to try as well as the snail slime! I very politely asked if they were made from the snails shell! Good job she knows me & my humour 🙊🙈
*I nearly broke down in tears whilst on the phone to the pain clinic, just because the secretary said she would try her best to speed up my appointment for treatment. Skipping the consultation in January as I’ve seen the consultant plenty of times now for him to know me!
*I nearly stabbed myself in the foot whilst trying to make sure my delicate and mahoosive bougainvillea (plant) is wrapped up & warm ready for winter!
AND
*My phone decided it no longer wanted to have the Facebook app on it any where, even though ‘Google Play’ said it was installed! After a mini meltdown, restarting my phone several times, taking the battery out, taking the sim card & SD card out the Facebook app has reappeared! I have no idea why I thought taking the sim & SD card out was a good idea but something worked!

Glad to be home! Not moving from this sofa except when performing the triangle manoeuvre… Toilet, Kettle & back to the sofa! 👍👏

The sissors that fell so close to my foot but landed perfectly! Couldn't do that again if I tried!

Multiple Sclerosis fact #5, vision problems

image

Needle point, one of my favourite things to do!
Threading A needle is fun when there’s TWO of them (thank you double vision)

Sewing a seam is joyous when you need the cloth and the thread to be identical in colour. This means with my MS vision I can’t tell where I have sewn and where I need to sew (thank you loss of contrast)

It’s no wonder I always end up with a pile of items waiting to be repaired!
When something joyful becomes dreadful!

40 minutes later and I’m still trying to thread the needle!

Obviously the danger is this, having a disease that drains my energy so rapidly means that I do tend to fall asleep at the drop of a hat! This always happens if I’m stationary for a long time. If you weren’t aware, sewing requires you to sit on the same place for a certain amount of time. It really wouldn’t take much for me to nod off & poke myself in the eye with the needle!

Thats why we’re MegaSpecial! Because we do really silly things, the great thing is, we train ourselves to laugh at the silly things! It gets us through!

Good bye wobble, hello balanced life

A brilliant article about MS & balance issues!

Makes me realise how well I am doing in pilates & know that what I’m doing in the gym is paying off!

I never thought I’d see the day that I’d loose my balance! After years of working with horses I had incredible balance! It wasn’t until I broke my leg that my balance started to shake & then my MS saw how funny it is to make me wobble when I walk so messed up my balance!

Well, tongue out to u MS cause yesterday I rocked pilates & the power plate!
Today I shall do it all over again just to prove that I am stronger than my MS, for right now anyway!
