Donna....cognitive stuff.....Re: whatcha been doin'?

[Guest guest]

DonnaI'm so sorry to hear your knee is acting up so much. I hope the "torture" helps you a bunch.I understand what you are saying about genealogy and the cognitive problems. I have had to make lists of what I have found and what I have done. I check my list so often. Sometimes I get excited that I just found something cool only to check my list and see that I found it last month! I have also been having more cognitive stuff going on lately. I don't understand the reason it is back worse again because I am really feeling so much better than I was in the summer. MS is weird:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Hmm...

what have I been doing.. nothing productive that for sure..

Right knee is doing whatever it is that it's doing, but quite

painful.. even that tendon outside on the back of the knee is

joining in.. it's tighter than tight, and actually it tried to

go into a Charlie Horse last night as I was trying to climb into

bed.. actually had to jump out of bed, run around the bed,

grab my manual wheelchair and run it up under my butt so I could

sit down long enough to get the thing to ease up enough that I

could climb into bed.. I did tell him last night, while I was

motoring to the bedroom door in the power chair that we (HE)

needed to stretch the muscles and ligaments and tendons out in

my legs.. he asked if we could do it tomorrow night (tonight)

instead, because he was exhausted.. So we (HE) will be

inflicting pain on me this evening.. but with my knee kicking up

the way it is.. I've been moving even less and less under my own

pedal-pushing power.. Manual chair is beside the bed, for my

nighttime jaunts to the potty.. roll myself right up to the

toilet.. standing only long enough to get turned around to sit..

I had been walking from the bed, into the bathroom.. 15 or 20

feet in here.. at night.. but the knee just refuses to cooperate

and allow me to do that any longer.. and if it won't allow me to

do that, it certainly isn't going to allow me to walk further to

the main bathroom when I'm in the living room.. Better to use

the chairs than risk falling down again and possibly causing

more damage to the knee(s) or other parts of my body..

unfortunately someone (HIM) has to torture my legs to keep them

from doing whatever that's called that I can't think of right

this second.. (showing some of the cognitive dysfunction I'm

experiencing right now)..

No projects.. other than the music project I've been working on

since June (no, I did get him a couple of CD's made so far.. so

I'm not completely not accomplishing anything there).. but right

now every time I sit down to work on the music.. I get lost at

what I was doing, or get completely off track.. and certainly

can't decide how I want to group his next couple.. let alone the

concentration that it takes to edit one song, while listening to

another for completeness and distortions that need to be fixed..

(all of which a month or so ago, was easy for me to do)..

Books... hmmm.. waiting semi-patiently for Jean M. Auel's next

Earth Children Series book to be released in March of 2011.. ..

Even is looking forward to that release.. and he's a Jules

Verne type reader.. But I did get him to read The Valley of the

Horses first (don't have a copy of Clan of the Cave Bear), and

from that point forward he was way more than willing to read the

next in the series.. Am trying to read a few e-books via

& Nobles Nook for the PC.. been toying with the freebies

first.. and I can sort of tell why they might be freebies.. they

are Harlequin Romances, and not extremely well written.. not

anything I can't put down.. So still looking for something that

I can't put down reading wise..

Have played around a bit with Runescape.. usually during the

week only when Earl is here.. and then weekends when is

home.. cause it's just not all that fun to play alone all the

time either.. Have been back to "Neopets" and have been playing

around with that.. not like I did way back when I first started

playing and was interested in collecting the "Neggs" (all kinds

of eggs.. decorated all kinds of ways).. so was keeping track of

buying and selling other items to make enough money to buy these

"Neggs".. Now it's more for the brain stimulation than anything

else..

Television shows.. not much into soaps.. well not daytime soaps

anyway.. Tuesday night is a definite for television.. NCIS (CBS)

followed by Stargate Universe (SyFy) followed by The Good Wife

(CBS).. fortunately I can catch up on anything I missed via

ch131.com because Earl was bound and determined that I was NOT

going to watch them this week.. Wednesday night.. Criminal

Minds, when I can remember.. but Thursday night I WILL be glued

to the TV for The Big Bang Theory.. then I "have" to watch Bleep

My Dad Says to get to whatever the show is that comes on at 9..

but can't remember the name of it.. Waiting for Royal Pains to

come back in January.. as the USA network decided to give them

an extended season or something.. I personally think it was a

great idea they had.. coming up with "Summer Season Shows"

rather than running re-runs of something else all summer.. So

there was always something "new" to look forward to television

wise..

Geneaology every once in awhile.. but with the Brain Warts thing

going right now.. I find I get confused too easily.. and I've

started over way too many times to work on it when confuzzled

and screw it up somewhere along the line.. and not remember what

in the heck I did to screw it up.. so.. best leave it alone

until my brain works better..

And that's just how exciting my life is these days.. LOL

The

"torture" does help.. gets the endorphins rolling, and it was

feeling better yesterday (I'm afraid that if I add that it seems

to still be better this morning, I'll jinx it).. Though I think

we moved all the endorphins in my body into the knee.. cause

yesterday I felt like crap everywhere else.. Just can't win

these days.. LOL

My problem with genealogy.. is patience.. I get ahead of myself

when I find a bunch of information.. and don't document the

source so well when I'm adding the people to the file.. then

have no clue who is and who ain't.. or where I got the original

stuff from.. I usually document the first couple of items fairly

well.. then impatience takes over and I tell myself I'll come

back and document all in the group when I've finished adding the

group.. then forget to go back and do it..

and I totally agree.. MS is very very weird!
