My life has changed dramatically since I was diagnosed with MS more than 20 years ago. I'm now severely disabled with almost full-time care. This channel is about how I'm dealing with challenges, things that I struggle with, good things to come out of this situation and the things I do to keep feeling like a valued member of society.
God bless you. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and used to sprint race bicycles. I was highly functioning for a long time but this year it’s getting worse. I started ocrevus recently so praying it works. I want you to know I love you and you are not alone. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks Michael. It is a journey! I thank God that I have the support I need now. And that today the sunshine is beautiful. Good luck with Ocrevus. I started 6 months ago but they don't know if it will work. I am a long way down the track to be starting with that. Any pause in progression is a win for me.
Michelle gave a really simple example of your considerations when eating that I think a lot of people probably don’t understand the difficulty of. But as you showed, when there’s a will, there’s a way! Also I think my breakfast portions are too generous after watching that. Haha 🤣
Loved this video.....how cool to have a rescue tadpole, give it a name and then watch it grow into a frog. Extra cool thanks to Pussycat's photo-bomb. 😻😻😻
I love how you asked for the cat nobody wanted to adopt. My mother has done the same thing...over the years she has always had one cat at a time, and when that cat dies, she asks the shelter for yet another cat that nobody will adopt. In addition to always eventually developing a deep bond with these "unadoptable" cats, she has the satisfaction of knowing she truly saved that cat's life. I can see where you and Pussycat have saved each other's lives, so to speak. Much love to you and Pussycat from Buffalo, New York. ❤️😻😻
Cat training - simple ! Simply be consistent. Jump table is not the same as jump up on the table or jump onto table. Say jump table Cats do not understand prepositions as well as they understand nouns and verbs. Jump table is not the same as jump up on the table or jump on table. Say jump table. Always jump table. My cat understandas 135 words and phrases using simple words. Start with the words they want to know - dinner, dish, water, cat box, inside, outside, pets, treats, lap, play, mouse, bird... be consistent. Cats see hot red/pink, teal blue, school bus yellow, black white and grey. Buy toy mice in those colors and repeat red mouse, blue mouse, yellow mouse... your cat will learn quickly. Some cats will fetch and some will ignore fetch. My cat is a rescue cat who was abused. She loves learning. Simply be consistent.
Beautiful video, lovely, but sad narration (about your disability and your lap experiences) but very sweet about your team’s needs and the happy life of a rescued cat. Pussy cat has blossomed because of you. You should be so proud. Always there will be the yin and the yang. It’s inevitable. Enjoy her and try not to swell on the other ‘stuff’.❤️🦘
Thank you so much for watching. Pussycat is all fluffed up this morning… It's only 10° C. We are a bit wussy when it comes to cold. I love the idea that you guys are enjoying the summer.
Thanks Kathleen. There's a lot more to come. It is nice to document some of the stuff in my head so I don't need to keep thinking about it. I hope it stays interesting for everyone.
