Good memories can help calm bad symptoms of chronic illness or bad pain from sitting in a wheelchair. Not always, but they help a lot.</p>
<p>This week I talked about some of my memories & the power of your memories.</p>
<p>(And for any nitpickers who get on my recollection of dreams, you've never been to the end of an Italian women’s party when the men come back to pick everybody up and something big’s going to be on TV!)</p>

So I don't know why I ever thought things would be different for me!</p>
<p>I took a few weeks off to catch up on some important things at home thinking to myself but three weeks later I have a good amount of things done and underway. Now don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things that are underway. They just aren't done. I'm really not that uncommon in wanting, or at least hoping for, instant gratification.</p>
<p>I guess the hardest part is expecting things to be done in a certain order and "things changing" makes up my mind in what order I'm going to get things changed.</p><p>One of the big changes I had to live with this week is my editing time got cut really short. But I'm here! But if some of the things look choppy, please forgive me. If it's really that hard to look at just listen because the vocal sounds pretty good. LOL</p>
<p>*What construction sounds you hear from time to time during today's program are not house reclaiming it’s the cats trying to organize for me. They're not very good at it.</p>

This is actually a replay of “Rant" from last year. I am feeling frustrated over many of the same things only some of them worse. I'm also dealing with it better. Maybe that's a warning!
</p>
<p>I've got some things to tend to but I'll be back in 3 weeks.</p>

<p>It was also another week where I recorded edited and did the whole shebang on Wednesday all day and most of the night. I'm uploading and going to sleep.</p>
<p>Hopefully things are getting back to normal and I'll be tackling "list 2” to get my life back!</p>

<p>And for once I'm not quoting Trevor Noah. I'm paraphrasing Forrest Gump. Stubborn is a stubborn does. No matter what gave me trouble this week I was gonna get done what needed to get done. And it got done.</p>

I've jokingly said before that I'm the most overworked disabled person I know. Some are by choice. I don't HAVE to do Chronicles of Nani and yet in so many ways and for so many reasons I do have to do it. </p>
<p>But there are other things too. My husband works all day and there are a lot of things he doesn't have time to do. It's a choice between having dinner or getting me clean. I have to be honest sometimes that's a rough choice. But my being clean, while it's healthier in the long run, doesn't put dinner in his belly.</p>
<p>So I have a list of major priorities that I have to take care of. I'm not physically able to clean the house but I have to get the house tidied and in order or I can't get a home health aide that will stay and work with me to keep me clean and healthy. I also need to make sure that things are put away in an order that I know where everything is so that when someone asks me or some thing is I can tell them exactly where to look. I have drawers labeled for everything and I'm going through now figuring out if I need to get some more drawers. I am also desperately trying to figure out a way to get my haircut and the color adjusted before looking at myself drives me crazy. (That part is personal but it's very important for my mental health.)</p>
<p>So there's an abundance of things I need to do, but there are things that I need, especially for my health, and want really badly. And I'm the only one who is going to be able to get them done. So this wiek I am taking a break to try to get things caught up than I need to and I'm showing a rerun from a year ago that I should've watched a couple weeks ago.</p>

(But I'm Hiding) <p>Now you see me, now you don't? Oh you'll see me in this vlog, just not a ton at first. My husband washed my hair when he was really not in the mood to be washing my hair. That only do I look like my hair was washed by someone who didn't want to wash it, but I look downright scary!</p>
<p>It's not fair! This blood premieres on my birthday and just one day after the two year anniversary of Chronicles of Nani on YouTube. I should get to look like happy party girl that is scary Halloween girl.</p>
<p>But there is some fun video of me in my house and some fantastic pictures of deer & fawns take a note just by me and my husband but with the permission of neighbors in the nextdoor group. Thank you so much to everybody that added their photos of sweet spotted little babies!</p>

<p>Okay, I was forced into early retirement because of MS and as a recovering workaholic, I'm not even sure I would have actually retired. I just spent a week with my dad, also someone who sucks at being retired. He limps badly, it hurts me to watch, but it's moving that keeps him feeling okay. Aside from being wonderful company and conversation for me he was also an incredible cook every day he was here, cleared the weeds out of my wheelchair ramp area, washed a huge backlog of dirty dishes, scrubbed the stove surface and repaired the broken trimwork that keeps the bathroom door closed. He also made a few trips to different hardware stores to get all of the pieces necessary to fix our broken mailbox. THAT'S how I wanted to retire someday. And probably still do a YouTube show about some thing because I really couldn't stop working.</p>
<p>But well my husband seem to have had a miserable week because he couldn't spend it all completely away as originally planned, I actually had a nice week of vacation. But then also left me with a HUGE list of things that I need to do including record and get the show ready to premier.</p>
<p>This week’s show is all about what you put together when you have about 10 minutes to figure out what you're going to do in two days to record and put together the entire thing. I think I'm still pretty good at what I did before I was forced to retire early.</p>
<p>(Of course thanks to MS, it took lots of caffeine to get it done and about a three hour nap when it was finished.)</p>

<p>When we last left our face in the recliner talking about home health aides, things ended with the happy announcement phone with an aid that was going to come in every day while my husband was away. Now is where the “best laid plans” mine comes in.</p>
<p>The nurse who was coming in to do aide work
for the week is terribly allergic to cats. I don't usually think about the cats first I worry about the Hoyer lift first</p>
<p>So we had to come up with Plan B, definitely some thing I learned and taught my nieces about from Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Book. "Always have a back up plan.” </p>
<p>That works for any plans anyone has, but it also works for when you suddenly find that you have a chronic illness or you end up in a wheelchair. That's definitely a situation where your best laid plans for life change.</p>
<p>It also prompted me to look up the phrase "the best laid plans of mice and men," because I was curious about exactly where it came from. A Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1785. It's fascinating how many books, other poems, movies and even a Jethro Tull song have mentioned parts of that poem or parts that are translated from that poem. The Wikipedia page (It's not a very long page) is worth reading just to find out how many things you've heard it in. Very cool!</p>

Sometimes it takes a while before we admit that. It's human nature to try to be determined enough to do it on your own as long as you possibly can. But when you do need that help you need either someone that lives with you and is there 24/7 or you need a home health aide that can come in and help you with the things you can no longer do alone.</p>
<p>There are a lot of us that need more than someone to just keep us company, microwave a meal or play a game of checkers. I can't move without a patient lift and I'm not capable of cleaning myself without assistance. Those types of home health aides are not so easy to find. Back to, as I've said before, “home health aides are the most overworked and underpaid members of the medical pyramid." Truly skilled people are so underpaid that they either move on or continue with school to become qualified for a better paying job in the field.</p>
<p>In the area where I am it is especially difficult to find not just qualified for my needs, but Home Health Care at all</p>
<p>This weeks vlog has happy moment and sad moments. And keep your eye on the left side of the screen if you just want to see lots of cat and kitten play video bombs!</p>
<p>Be sure to stick around for my happy ending slate!</p>

I had a few wonderful days of exactly that, including enough energy to accomplish "too much to do." With MS they don't last forever, but when they do it's heaven! Everyone enjoyed having me around, ESPECIALLY me!</p>
<p>Please come and enjoy with me a great weekend including a new kitten!</p>
<p>(Thank you David, Mike, Claudia, Sheri, my Dad & Aunt and Casey, the sweetest little kitten around, for making my world fantastic this weekend!)</p>

She's just a year younger than me, she's returning to school to earn an associates degree.</p>
<p>Some people might find that scary, to return to school after all those years. I find it just a little bit different than what all of us do every day. We learn. Sheri is just smart enough to know that.</p>
<p>And going back to school is so incredibly similar to learning to deal with chronic illness and being in a wheelchair. We have to learn about our illness, about the wheelchair & about how to continue to exist the best we can. Like someone returning to college, we have to learn too, but we have never stopped learning.</p><p><br /></p>

It's been a really rough week for me, or anyway a rough second half of the week? Let's just say it's been a rough June so far as far as my glucose levels are concerned. I've got a new home health aide who's doing really well but she's not so up to speed that we've started cooking yet. So I'm not eating the best for my glucose yet because David doesn't cook unless it's directions on the box.</p><p>We are getting close to her having regular stuff down to the point of being able to do it quick enough to do some simple salads. Just right now I need to put together a grocery order that has fresh vegetables that go in those simple salads. LOL.</p><p>The point is, glucose is worse than MS for this, I fall asleep without any warning for hours. And then sometimes I'm only awake for a little bit before I fall asleep without warning again. This is why I really need to get the new aide ready to start cooking. It helps that she's excited about getting there too.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, here is the intro for this weeks YouTube adventure:</p><p>We I'm back from being sick! At least as heck hope I'm not going to get sick again. This week is short stories from my homemade Smash Books. (Old school type scrapbooks with random things in them that I put together using some of my old scrapbook stuff when I couldn't scrap by hand anymore.) I took some pictures of the pages and from the pages and then filling them in with the short stories that go with them.</p>

When I do and I can put together my weekly list of daily tasks for myself. Yes I do that and I have always been a make lists for myself person. That's how I got through high school and still had time for a part-time job and seeing my friends on the weekend! One of the things on those lists will be at least once a week I'm going to do a regular blog just for my blogspot readers and I want to get involved in more of the cat fun from the blogs I read.<div><br />
Keep your fingers crossed for me!</div>Nanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293801213945010529.post-28038993855753760292022-05-16T07:28:00.000-04:002022-05-16T07:28:39.538-04:00Chronicles of Nani - Be Back Soon<p>OK, I've had a couple of colds, 2 bouts of food poisoning & I just plain don't have enough help to keep me going. Very soon that last part, I pray, will be fixed and I can start being human enough to tape again every week.</p>
<p>I'm sorry that I just disappeared for a while but I'll be back again on my normal basis soon. As always prayers and good thoughts are all greatly appreciated.</p>

What I thought was allergies or a cold ended up being a urinary tract infection. <div><br /></div><div>Today's vlog it's not so much silly stuff, but the reality of why I am still a little sick and my doctor diagnosing my UTI. I'm going to talk about all kinds of fun stuff. Information I got from the Mayo Clinic about UTIs, catheters and suprapubic catheters. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are living with a chronic illness or in a wheelchair this could be a reality you live with. It's not something you brag about, but you are absolutely NOT alone!

When she changed my catheter she told me that how sick I've been feeling is because I have a nasty UTI. So I'm back to showing a rerun this week while I'm letting the antibiotics make me healthy enough to do a new vlog. <div><br /></div><div>While I'm uploading I already feel like I'll be up to doing a new video for next week. </div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy the opposite of sick from a UTI this week!

I get the whole need a break every now and then. Right now David helps out but for the most part it's just me and the editor. And yes, I absolutely do realize that the editor and I are the same person. I probably deserve the occasional break more than the network people do. <div><br /></div><div>But, check out the chosen rerun from last year. That's all you need to know about why I needed to take a break this week.</div><div><br /></div>

Sometimes, I just don't have something I can talk about for a long time but there's a bunch a little things that I want to talk about. That's today. I'll talk a little bit about one of my best friends, things going on with Russia (YAY Ukraine!) Walk MS, my visit from the EMTs and the deer in my front yard. <div><br /></div><div> May be interested in some things more than others. Might get a chuckle or you might just think hmmm.

I was actually pretty excited about what I was planning on doing, but things that happened at the end of last week change my mind. <div><br /></div><div>I've said before and I don't currently have any home health aides that can help me out and my husband is usually the one that gets me is ready as he can to record. But this weekend he's been very sick with a series called and as a matter of fact on Tuesday when I recorded and edited this weeks video. I ended up talking about some thing very different. </div><div><br /></div><div>I had a horrible night last week ended up in some nasty self harm and today is just a little talking about the fact that there are definitely self harmful things that go through the minds of people with chronic the most positive of us on a bad day and we all have to do our best not to give in. </div><div><br /></div>

But at our house late February and early March also means flowers! Crocus is a perennial flower, that means it's a bulb in the ground that you don't have to plant every year it just buds and then blossoms. It can start to bud and then be snowed on again and it doesn't stop. <div><br /></div><div>I consider myself a crocus. Things can be thrown at me, like snow throws itself on a crocus, and I may be slowed down or I may even disappear for a while, but I let it go away or make it go away and then I'm ready to blossom again. </div><div><br /></div><div>A chronic illness or living in a wheelchair does not mean you stop blooming. Every time you do some thing in spite of that illness or chair, you bloom a little brighter. You are a crocus too.</div><div><br />
