Hey all. Mom is settling in well but is so out of it. They placed her on another medication and I think it's adding to the dementia. But they said with dementia there are good and bad so who knows? Sis was there tonight and she said mom loves the place so that's good.

Jim is doing well and eating more. He comes to me for food now. LOL That is sooooo great! We went to a Hawks game last night. Here's a pic of Jim with the mascot.

TGIF!!!

Sandy, Glad Jim is getting his appetite back!:D

I am so glad it is Friday even though I have grading to do this weekend. One half of the semester is officially over:Dancing-Chilli:. I still enjoy teaching most of the time, but I also despise meetings and grading most of the time.:rolleyes:

For some reason I cannot get the song "I don't want to work; I just want to bang on my drum all day" out of my head.

Hope you all have a good weekend! It is chilly but gorgeous here!

I'm just sitting here picturing Barb banging on a drum all day.....

Thanks, Barb......:rolleyes:......now I have that song in my head, too! :D

It's a beautiful, cool Fall morning here. The heat has finally broken and we're due for a spectacular weekend. I even had to turn on the heat for a few minutes this morning! I love it!

I need to get moving and find something productive to do. One thing I need to do is make another batch of hamburger buns to put in the freezer. We use them in place of regular bread and they keep so well in the freezer. I'll try to remember to post the recipe in the Food Forum.

I wish I could start the lawnmower by myself.....I'd attempt to push it for a few rows. I wonder how much I could do before totally collapsing? I'm a little scared to try it with nobody else home.

Ya'll have a wonderful Friday! :grouphug:

I agree with Kelly and Holly, Barb . . .Now I have that song running around my head as well as the memories attached to it. :p

Sandy - Glad Jim is starting to eat AND you mom likes the place. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Barb - Hard to believe the semester is 1/2 over. DDs haven't mentioned anything to me about mid-terms. I guess all is going well with them?:confused: *tkrik making note to call DDs today and send them cards.*

Kelly - I wish we would get a break in the heat here. UGH! Oh wait, I think it is supposed to be in the low 90s today. :rolleyes:

Hi Sarah - Glad to see you check in, if only briefly. Hang in there!

Debbie - :hug: In my book, you are an absolute saint. I really don't know how you do it all. You are a very special person.:hug:

Hi everyone else. Hope everyone has a good day!:hug:

Afternoon, everyone...yes, TGIF...bang away, Barb!! Yahoo! half over already!!:D

Sandy, so glad to hear Jim's feeling better...he needs some meat on those bones...

Went and gave a specimen today...I have to drive about 40 mi. one way, since the specialist is far from me and all of the labs he's connected with are as well.
On the way home, I was falling asleep again. I paid attention to what was happening, and it was so weird. I can feel my eye muscles doing adjustments to my eyes, as if they're spasming...then my vision gets foggy, and then I close my eyes; almost can't help it, no matter how I fight it. It's as if my eyelids are slamming shut. I'm afraid to drive again...and the spasticity was so painful last evening that I couldn't stand for more than 30 seconds without bending to relieve the tightness...guess it's time to call the doc. I'm going to see how everything is after this weekend, since we're going to go visit the DD and SIL, and I don't want to ruin it...but I'm kinda scared...

oh well, such is life with MS, right?:rolleyes:
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend...:)

Debbie, I hope you'll stop driving till you find out what's causing you to fall asleep like you do. Could it be any of the meds you're taking? MS is such a mystery. I hate it!

I've been pretty busy today. Made a batch of buns, baked them and then froze them. Made a huge pot of spaghetti sauce and divided it up and froze it. Also browned some ground beef and froze it. Then, made a pizza crust and just have popped the pizza into the oven for our supper tonight. I just love my bread maker. :heartthrob:

Debbie, omg, that sounds so scary. :eek: I'd definitely find out if it's a possible side effect to any meds you might be taking. Also an off chance might just be a major wall of stress. Keeping you in prayer! :hug::hug:

Sandy, :hug::hug:

Sleep, take antibiotic, rinse & repeat seem to have been the past couple of days for me. Of course it's after they prescribe it that I finally get really bad pain in my mouth, LOL!!!

Crossing fingers I can get rid of this infection.

Take care everyone!! :grouphug::grouphug:

Morning! 32 degrees!! Brrr!! Wisconsin chill is great...til it gets really cold...

The only drug that could cause the sleepiness is the zanaflex, and I take that regularly. So I don't think it would suddenly increase the fatigue. It could be the continuing prob with the UTI, but the fatigue hasn't been around the whe time the infection has. And with the added painful spasms and the new vision problems I wonder if I'm in a flareup. If I have problems this weekend I'll definitely call the neuro.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...on the iPhone so please excuse typos...
