Happy Summer bank holiday Monday for those who it is a holiday. Typical bank holiday weather not a sign of the sun
and it still remains very overcast but not too cold though. I spoke to soon about not having any rain yesterday just about as I finished posting the down pour came quickly producing puddles in its wake. This morning on getting up all the puddles have gone and it looks as there has not been a spot of rain. As overcast as it maybe it appears to be good drying weather as several of the neighbours have got their washing out and it is blowing a treat in the garden on the washing line.I woke up this morning with the larks well it is very early for me at just a shade past 7am and was wide awake. Maybe it was due to the nap I had taken in the afternoon for about 1½ hours on the sofa due to being so tired. I have had to take an extra tablet about half way through the morning as I started to have a trigeminal attack. I was fortunate though that the tablet worked swiftly unlike sometimes when I have to take numerous pain killers which only just takes the edge of the pain but doesn't take it away
So I am hoping that the pain killer does not catch up with me and the early start making me want another nap else I will be in the revolving door syndrome as I like to call it. Where you wake up early then need a sleep in the afternoon and to top it off you're not tired till quite late into the evening. Then the next day it all starts again and it is a hard habit to break if you do not watch out.I have been a good bunny this morning and done 12 minutes on my wobbly machine. So if I don't feel like a stroll later on it is not quite so bad. Though you can guarantee every time I use it despite having a potty break prior to using it all the shaking and wobbling it does makes me want to go again
There is a machine the same as the one I have at home at the ms therapy centre and many of the users of this machine say the same as me.Good news for the therapy centre we were left a 6/8ths share in a bungalow. The bungalow has now been sold and that has raised £88.000 which converts to $153,000 CAD. The other 2 x ⅛ths have gone to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and the Royal National Institute of the blind. I must admit this is a very generous and kind offer from a gentleman who was a user of the centre in the 1980's.
Apparently the centre is looking for other premises now and are look at sharing it with the Nottingham branch I think of the MS Society. For years the MS Society did not want to associate with us and the treatments we offered. Though now I think whom ever is running that branch has realise that maybe we are not so way out and we both really do aim to support those with MS and their carers. Carers must not be forgotten as it is has hard for them as for the person whom has MS I think. It is often harder in my opinion as you feel helpless at times and there you slowly go from "lover" (sorry can't think of a better word to term this) to maybe having to care for their every need. This is a hard role to juggle no matter how much you love your partner, husband, wife. I think they are now in the very early stages of negotiations on how this may work and the responsibilities of each. I think it would be good to share the costs in this day and age of economic climate and the reduction of donations from businesses during recessions. We are a charity and run partly on money donated plus money we give for our treatments. I pay £10.00 for my oxygen therapy which is about $18.00 CAD which compared to a lot of such centres is cheap apparently.
I have been given a whole bag of apples they are mostly cookers but there are one or two eaters in there. So I did the cookers and put a tad bit of sweetener in as my DH tried it and well I could tell it was sour to him by the faces he pulled
. I do not mind things a bit tarter but he likes them sweet. Though since embarking on this healthy eating he has now stopping having sugar or sweetener on my fresh fruit salads I make. So he has make some progress in that area. I must admit I enjoyed the stewed apples with cinnamon plus a bit of natural yoghurt.I have been well prepared as I have already made sandwiches for tea and they are plated and sitting in the fridge with cling film (maybe called plastic wrap to many of you) over to stop them going dry. Plus made pack up for tomorrow at the centre. I have made 4 individual sugar free strawberry jelly (jello) with a few fresh strawberries in. That will be taken with us tomorrow and the other portion will be eaten on Wednesday. We have a fresh fruit salad for tea as well so it is all in hand. Though at dinner time whilst I was cooking I ended up needing help from DH has I just couldn't keep my eye on gravy pan, stewing apples
and the meat in the oven. Not to mention the pack up and this afternoon's tea on the go. So I got myself very disorganised at that time I really should have waited to do the sandwiches etc but I got side track by the thought I had to make them that I did not think when I commenced the job the juggling it would involved.Hello
