    In my last blog, I asked you to pray for Peter. He has Myasthenia Gravis and has been suffering with a cold. I’ve just learned he has tested positive for COVID. Now he REALLY needs our prayers! Please keep Peter on your prayer list. Recently I’ve been doing some of my preliminary chores in preparing…

  • Cold – Day 6

    I am ready to call this cold a win! It’s been several days now and it hasn’t gotten any worse. In fact, I’m rarely coughing now. I can still feel a little of the tickle in my bronchial tubes, but I think we’re on the top side of it. Great job, body! It did exactly…

  • Cold – Day 5

    Reporting no change in my cold today. Perhaps a little more congestion and a little more coughing, but not a full-blown cold or bronchitis yet. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed. It’s mid-November and I’m behind on my usual schedule of Christmas gift purchases. I usually have quite a bit done by now, but I’m…

    Thank you to everyone who has sent me well wishes. They are greatly appreciated. It’s Day 3 of this cold and I’m still doing well. My body is fighting and that’s my strategy right now, just let my immune system try to take care of this. The cold has moved to my chest and I…

  • Cold – Day 2

    It’s a cold. What’s the big deal? Everybody gets colds. The above statements are absolutely true, at least for those without Myasthenia Gravis. I understand how a cold is not big deal to most people. We get them all the time. To someone with MG, however, a cold can be much more difficult. When I…

  • In This Corner

    “In this corner” are the words you typically hear before a fight when the announcer introduces each combatant. I’m about to enter a fight of my own, so it’s only appropriate that I introduce you to who is fighting. “In this corner, wearing no trunks at all, is “The Common Cold” (CC). CC has a…

  • Too Quick To Judge

    There is a house in our neighborhood that puts up a giant blow-up reindeer in their yard for Christmas. I’m not talking big; I’m talking GIANT! It stands taller than their house. It’s really quite fun to see as it dances in the breeze. The weekend after Halloween, this family put out the giant reindeer…

    Before I get started with today’s blog, I wanted to remind everyone to get out and vote today. This is a non-political blog, so I won’t discuss candidates. I simply wanted to remind you to exercise your constitutional right by voting. Now that the PSA (Public Service Announcement) is complete, let’s move on to the…

  • Memories

    Have you ever had a memory pop into your head out of nowhere? We’re about to enter a season where memories will play a huge role, but we have to be careful to handle them appropriately. They say when a memory surfaces unexpectedly, it often signals that something in your environment or emotional state has…

  • National Family Caregivers Month

    in

    November is National Family Caregivers Month. It’s the time to recognize and honor family caregivers across the country. Although caregivers of people with Myasthenia Gravis are included, National Family Caregivers Month isn’t exclusive to only MG, but to anyone who provides care to someone with an acute or chronic condition. By celebrating National Family Caregivers…
