Saladjunkie

I always try to keep an eye towards what I eat, sometimes I do a good job sometimes not so good. Lately though I've been trying to go big on my salad intake

Although it's probably a lazy way to go about it I've really been enjoying the salad mix bags that come pre-chopped. They really are convenient especially since I don't have to spend all that time chopping and whatnot. In a typical week I can go through about two bags just by myself, it's a great thing not from a nutrition aspect but also in a umm... "roughage" standpoint. Like most MSers my digestion is not always my best friend so I take any help where I can get it.

Update 7/23

I neglected to mention in my last post (but it was probably obvious) I have a new laptop, it feels great to not burn my legs while I try to balance that heavy dinasour. I also made some cosmetic changes to the page, as well as launched my own Youtube channel 

in addition

sometimes I struggle with typing here because my thoughts are all over the place. Like some MSers I have cognitive setbacks so I figured I can speak on a video blog (Vlog). It may come back to get me in the end if I can't speak my thoughts in a clear consistent manner. Well I gave it a try, since this was my first time I took it as an opportunity to introduce myself. Vlog thru Youtube My intention is to share more through Youtube, both info and some humor (if I can manage that)

Ugh well, what can I do

My laptop shut itself off about 4 times today- Well I guess it's a good thing that I'm not one for words because starting this afternoon I am doing this off of my phone ONLY - my laptop is old and was a hand me down from some friends.. Laptops might be cheap but having MS and being on a budget the laptop might as well cost a million dollars /:- l .. So as any MSer does I adapt it, it may not be great but at least I got something..

Steady as she goes

For me, the mantra for this upcoming week will be steady as she goes. As I previously posted I took a spill a few days ago, I fell just to the side of my tailbone - I'm not in a tremendous amount of pain and although I did not see a doctor I know that I have to try to stay off my tuchus which is easier said then done when you're disabled. I've kind of been experimenting with a sideways sit (one cheek higher than the other but when all else fails I retreat to the bedroom to laydown (sideways). Nothing is impossible just have to try to tweak my upcoming workout routine for this week. Instead of sitting at the stationary bike after I get off the treadmill I'll be staying on the treadmill longer at a slower speed in order to not burn out. The Raccounters "steady as she goes"

Status Update 7/3

working backwards from this posting time, I fell in my kitchen, fell backwards right on my ass, fell HARD on my ass, it's a good thing that I have cushion back there. It wasn't like one of my typical falls, my legs didn't get caught up in something and I didn't trip- it was more of your classic feeling like you just got unplugged so your standing-up power was taken away. Before that, this afternoon my neighborhood had some strong wind gusts that knocked down some power lines. I endured at home for about an hour before the heat forced me to find a better environment. Fast forward to two hours later and the power was finally restored. Aside from my butt pain I feel sluggish, my main priority is to hydrate for my Tysabri infusion on Friday. and WAY before the blackout I was trying to look into my web cam difficulties no luck just yet.

branching out

well, this may be a weak effort right now, kind of amateurish but I would like to try some Vlogging along with this main blog to try to spread the news about MS and MS centered ideas as I see them this laptop doesn't have a webcam and my wife's laptop needs some updating for the webcam to work on youtube so I used my phone, not to bad I think.


my first and brief Vlog

or if that doesn't want to work for you, Youtube access
