I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN

Can't offer my assistance, I'm busy mutlitasking.

Can't offer my assistance, I'm busy mutlitasking.

No, sometimes I just can’t.  The children’s book “The Little Engine that Could” by Watty Piper is suppose to give confidence to young children that if they try hard enough, they can accomplish things they never thought possible.

Give me a break, I'm only 2 days old.

It is a nice story for children, and certainly true for everyone, to a point.  But recently, not true for me at all.  You may have noticed (but probably not) that I have not “blogged” on my site for quite a while.  I haven’t fallen off the end of the earth (or found the cure for Meniere’s) but I have been bogged down by a lot of different things currently going on.  [read more…]

“Cotton Head”

by bnealon on November 14, 2009

I have recently gotten over a crappy cold.  Luckily it did not aggravate my Meniere’s which can often be the case.  Having Meniere’s Disease puts stress on our bodies.  When additional stress is added to our systems through daily life experiences, fatigue, or illness it can often initiate a Meniere’s attack.  It is one more reason to try to stay as healthy and stress free as possible.  I have talked about this previously and it is not really what I wanted to bore you with again today. 

I am not feeling well, I am out of sorts, do you not understand what I am trying to tell you here?

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2009

It’s that time of year again.  “Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat.”  Yes, HALLOWEEN is here again!  For all of you trick or treaters out there I have a few suggestions for you before you run out of the house in your costume to collect all your goodies.  If [...]

Don’t Push

October 29, 2009

“Quit pushing!” I have been accused of pushing my entire life, for as long as I can remember.  Now don’t get the wrong idea.  I don’t literally push people around either physically or emotionally… not that I realize anyway.  My pushing involves pushing myself.

Safety First, Always!

October 4, 2009

I have no idea the age of those reading this but I think I may have grown up in a different time than a lot of you.  While growing up, when I rode in the car there was no such thing as air bags, infant and children car seats, or even seat
belts.  Kids rode in [...]

Older, Not Necessarily Wiser

September 1, 2009

Recently I went to Michigan, where I was born, grew up, and lived for 40 years, for a visit.  My parents, sister Mary Anne, and my aunt and uncle still live there. Michigan is a beautiful state where there is a lot to see and do.  However, when I go, I usually just hang out [...]

Good ol’ Summertime

August 1, 2009

We are well into summer now.   It seems to me that even if not off vacationing or doing something really fun like kayaking (never done it but it seems like it would be a great sport), summer is just a more carefree time.   Most of us are outside more and participating in more spur of the [...]

I AM Normal!

July 20, 2009

I am finally starting to return to my more “normal” self (I put that in quotes since some of my family, namely my children, think I am weird).   Having back to back episodes is very unusual for me, at least during the last five years or so.   When I think about what may have caused [...]

NO, Not Again!

July 7, 2009

In my last posting I reviewed the Meniere’s episode I just recently experienced.  As I stated, when you have one of these “attacks” it is devastating.  During the episode, I just want to be put out of my misery.  It is the worst, the very worst I can imagine feeling, at least during that time.  [...]

The Dreaded Attack

June 17, 2009

 
As I stated in my first blog entry, living with Meniere’s has become a part of my life, a part of who I am.  I’ve learned to live with my daily symptoms, my dietary restrictions, the meds I take to control it, lifestyle changes to accommodate it, and so forth—I am sure you get the [...]
