This was doctor day for the Dickows
Well, actually for Jackie. We went to see her MS specialist. It was a pretty normal visit. He said the disease is progressive, and hers is slowly progressing. He also said exercises would help.
That's the problem.
We do exercises for a week, and then stop. Part of the reason is timing. We can never find a time on which both of us agree. At night she is too tired, in the morning I am too tired. In the afternoon one of us is too occupied.
We plan to ask our caregiver to come a couple of times a week and do the exercises. She will not take no for an excuse.
We also had blood tests this morning.
I love to eat. We have to fast for the tests.....12 hours without food.
So I stopped eating anything at about 8 p.m. That means at 8 a.m. I should be ready for the test. Because it takes so long for her to get going, we did our tests at almost 11.
I was starving.
At least I did not faint when they drew the blood. I did not even get dizzy. No matter how many times I have had blood drawn, I still hate it.
I guess that's the price of a poor lifestyle.
Peace and Love, but especially Peace
