Merry Christmas

Dr. G started me thinking. I Hope You’re not lonely this Christmas.

I’m here and Thinking of You πŸ˜ŽπŸŽ„πŸŽπŸ™πŸΌπŸŒŽπŸŒπŸš€πŸˆ‍⬛πŸ‘‘

 Loneliness can come in waves, loss of a loved one can break you down. Likewise friends are not always well meaning. It’s hard to reveal your diagnosis whether at work, home or in social circles. It’s unpredictable the response from Oh, I’m So sorry 😣 to You don’t look so bad. If You hear Can I Help You? Are they sincere? Could You accept help? You’re so independent. This year joined The Ordinary Office, Virtual Church online. They began 

A theme Alone Together. That describes My Multiple Sclerosis Friendship Circle. Virtual communication is still communicating, knowing someone hears or listens or asks Me or You something and You share and it’s dispersed. End of Year, time of reflection, Thanks for getting my brain engaged, virtually. 😎

Sad Times for Elders Part 3

Gadolinium, Will Congress Ever Notice?

 Some Congress people Heard,

Nobody did anything.

FDA said Gadolinium Is Retained for Years in our Bone, Brain & other vital organs. Rare Earth Metal, Mined by Uighur Slaves in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³, Destroying Earth using Strip Mining, Found in Wastewater downstream from Radiology bathrooms MRI.

A Friend and Compatriot Assembled a video

Outlining the Attempt In 2019!

Goal: to get Congress to act to look into Gadolinium Deposition Disease.

Because Congress Knew but did Not Enact Any Action,

I have to get ready for my physical  examination/ routine check up by My New Primary Care Doctor.

I have to line up the facts as I see them, I believe I have retained Gadolinium in my body after 11 MRI tests in 9 years- much I believe were linear Gad injections.

Seriously, Metal shot into my vein then spun by a powerful magnet 🧲.

Here are some Screenshots of  a video a Friend did.

Congress, Lawmakers were notified of Pathological Adverse Effects of Gadolinium IV in 2019!


Waiting…🀦‍♀️

Nursing can be Hazardous to Your Health


When 4 Governors basically Panicked at the beginning of the Covid-19 🦠 Pandemic 😷 
The  4 Governors went Over the Heads of Long Term Care Administration and
4 Governors Ordered Patients discharged from Hospital to Long Term Care Facilities
During the Pandemic.Patients were Covid-19 Positive or Pending results.
I hear NY Governor “Granted Immunity” to Nursing Facilities.
Is That Even Legal??
Ethical??
After the Governor quit his job and the Lieutenant Governor took over.


 


Several other posts I’ve done

Routine Disintegration

 Some days it all disintegrates.

Ashes to Ashes

Routine at first only interrupted,

Now becomes a slow rolling panic.

Squeezing out the best blog post I can,

Typing on my little phone πŸ™ˆ

Putting this up early 

Breaking my Routine to bits.

Guess it was Time 😎

For the Love of Art

Rafael Shmatko is selling busts of First Lady Melania Trump 

Sculpted by His Father, My Friend, the Late Nik Shmatko.

Art evokes an Emotional Response 

Great Art takes your breath away.

That’s what I feel when I see Nik’s artwork.

Knowing He survived in poverty in War Torn Ukraine made me sad,

Unable to do anything for Him.

Now His Son Rafael is raising funds for a museum of Nik’s Works.

Please Help Rafael,

I saw a Therapist to help me cope with depression.

My Therapist said to get Artist paper,

Bigger the Better 

And Start Drawing ….
