Hi, all. I'm back after a lengthy hiatus.Hooray.
After breaking my wrist, having surgery therefrom and the surgery flaring up my MS, having the cast taken off, going to Maryland with Abbamoose to help out beckyfeld and osewalrus and our precious grandson,then returning to Massaachusetts to recover our energy, preparing for Pesach and now beginning to deconstruct therefrom, I have enough time and energy to log on. Gnomi will say this sentence has to be taken out for alterations.
But hooray, I'm starting to feel good. Both Abba and I love to be with family, and have much enjoyed that part of the past few months. We are so happy that beckyfeld and osewalrus and precious grandson were able to get back into their hectic but happy lives, and that we had a wonderful visit with gnomi and mabfan for the Shabbat and the first two days of Pesach. We got almost all of the food pre-prepared, and were able to have a first seder with a total of 10 including us. A company called A Perfect Taste had a "traditional seder for 10" menu, which we ordered, and we were quite happy with it. Other things we bought from gordon and alperin. Abba performed the role of "schleperello", and between my wonderful housecleaner and dear friends who shopped for us, we did fine. gnomi and mabfan did their customary helping with serving and setting up, and even our friends who were guests pitched in. Thus, I did not suffer from too much fatigue and can truly say that I loved Pesach. The seder and the company was buoying to my spirits, and not having company for the second seder let me relax a bit more and let abba wear his alligator hat longer. Lucretia borgia and sethg_prime and their three musketeers graced our sunshiny backyard and brought it to life during chol ha moed, with the boys digging holes and finding worms. meanwhile lucretia borgia repaired our eruv. I smile every time i look at it and at the fluorescent orange streamers hanging from it so noone bumps into it.
look forward to catching up with all of you and getting back into the swing of things. I'll still have to rest every day as I recover from the ms flare up, but will use lj as a part of the rest time, G-d willing. We're off to Maryland next week for grandparents day at precious grandson's school, and will look forward to spending the week, including mother's day, with beckyfeld, osewalrus,precious grandson and all the wonderful folks in silver spring. See you later. Now I'm off to make an appointment for PT to help something called "thoracic outlet syndrome", which is apparently causing the numbness in my hand and is a complication from the broken wrist. It sounds like something I'd need an electrician for. Then it's off to bed to rest with abbamoose, who describes his state of energy as washed out. He had to get up at 4:30 am to drive me to my neurologist in boston, who'd added me onto her schedule at 8am. With G-d's help we made it in time, and I was glad to have him there. I am doing local driving, and am looking very forward to doing some of the driving on the trip to Maryland next week, if possible. lots of love and good wishes to all.
