Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted much. To be honest there isn't anything to report. haha

Weight is the same and I'm not happy about that. Jim goes in for his botox on the 27th and he's so ready for it. Oh, check this exercise machine out. It's a bit pricey and if the VA doesn't help with the cost we're going to see if there is a payment plan or what not to get it for Jim. Why haven't we seen something like this before? It has the ability to move for you on days you can't and on days you can it offers resistance and a load of other exercises all from a wheelchair or other chair! Check out the link and how it helps those with ms.

hi sandy,
that IS some machine. how much is it? does that mean i wouldn't have to exercise anymore?

It's quite pricey and some insurance companies will help pay for it if you can prove you need it. That's what we were told today by Jim's pt and the company.

The one Jim needs is for tall people over 6' and cost about $5700. We are going to try through the VA first and if they turn him down we'll look into a payment plan because it is a great machine.

And yes, if you choose to, you can let the machine exercise for you. hahaha

that sounds cool sandy. let me know what happens.

i stayed in today. took a nap. ahhhh.
my brother is coming for dinner.
tomorrow it's going to be nasty. 35 and rain/snow. we have a playoff baseball game on sat. and the broncos play here sun but the weather will be better for them.

nothing new. stable and boring except my muscles were really tight yesterday for my massage. i'm going to have to revisit our plan of care with my dr. my appt is in a couple of wks. it's odd tho. day to day pain is better but muscles still very tight.

hi all,

it's cold and nasty here today. we're in the 30's and lite snow. they postponed game 3 of the rockies playoffs. now they play tomorrow nite and the broncos play at 2.

then it's going to get into the 50's. so, i'm doing my closet this wk/e. turning over lite wt to heavier clothes. and along the way i'll start trimming down for the big move next yr.

tomorrow i finish the laundry and the usual at home.

wow! what a game yesterday. we won. the broncos are 5-0. it was a hard game but we did it. we beat tom brady.

i've been in for a few days. ok with me. i'm getting a lot of stuff done around the house.

now my brother is coming for dinner tomorrow nite. i'm just going to go out and get chinese.

cathy is looking at places around St. Augustine. she just called and told me she wants to get me a 3BR place. all one level. garage. lanai looking out onto a lake. she won't tell me the price. it's about 2200 SQ FT. i don't know all the details because they're with the realtor now and going to look at her place and her sister's; patricia's. the place is newly built and will have an alarm system.

IF this is mine i'll be able to have guests sleep over if i get visitors.
i'll know more later. the developer is going to e-mail me so i get a virtual tour of the place.

well, i'm going to be a homeowner by the end of the month. the t's are getting crossed and the i's dotted. see my post in the good news thread.

i'm very excited but nervous as well. i know that when i get settled i will be surrounded by my friends and family and have a lot of support.

i have so much to do but if i don't procrastinate i should be fine.

Yay Judy...that sounds wonderful....Congrats!

Whoohoo Judy!!!!

hi all,

i ended up staying in today and going back to bed.
my pain has been much better and even betty boob feels better.
i'm up to 16 minutes walking! wow.

i think i'm going to get up early and go grocery shopping tomorrow.
then i'll be home to watch the game. GO BRONCOS!
the next wk will be full. i think i have somewhere to go M-F.

i'm going to plan the move for mid march. the article i've been reading says the worst time to move is the summer and the beginning and end of each month.

the move will be all i'm thinking about for the next 4 mos.

cindy...what do you think about a new model refabed mac? with a camera for video conferencing with family?

hope you're all ok.
sox. how are you doing?
