Welcome Y'all ðĪ . I'm into animal rescue and rights. Positive vibes and activism! ðŧð It's been interesting for the past 20 years. Good folks on here and a great ð writing community. It's time for rethinking my writing and growing as a person . Sharing how to help others and ourselves ð has always been my motivation! Hugs ðĪ to new and old peeps!

| Whew glad to know I'm inspiring to some y'all ð! Glad my life and trials have some meaning in this crazy world we find ourselves in! So last Monday I saw my primary Rn and have been off the blood pressure meds and doing freaking amazing good without it! We upped the Prozac to 40 mg, which is still a low dose but seems to be keeping me from depression Blvd! We got a ride to Gulfport 30 miles away ( and where we had lived until 2020 when a tree fell on the house. Sis had to get a home for our German shepherd we had raised five years...) Anyway Tuesday we saw the Gastro people and I was told it may be Gastroparesis. Long s***ty name for a rare gastric emptying disease. Oh my. It's when your stomach takes longer to send food to your small intestine. She gave me samples of FDgard supplements which aren't helping. Menthol and caraway oil. So I have to take a test and they give you eggs or oatmeal and exray how long it takes to digest. Oh crap ð! I have to wait until the week of Thanksgiving because the hospital only has one camera and another one has broken ones! So I can't go back to Gulfport until Dec 11 to find out if I do or not. Sis has a birthday on the 10th where are we having fun yet?! If it is there's no cure and I can be like this forever ð oh crap ð! Let's hope and pray ðĪð they CAN fix this. I hate waking up feeling sick almost everyday. ðĪĒ Wednesday we went to the low vision specialist and he's going to work with her. The glasses to help her drive better were $15,00 but will make them for cost $950.00 and the little tablet that she can use to read and see the tags in the store was $400.00 but will do it for $200.00. So I made a GoFundMe on Thursday and we got one donation from a Rabbi who is kind and we never met in person but have been friends on Facebook for a few years. My girlfriend of many years is going to help next month. Our kids shared it. I'm going to share it here in the chance someone can help or at least share it. Even five bucks or something would help. I know people are strapped for money too We only get $64 in snap for sis and I get $87. It goes in a snap and with the government shutdown won't get them this month. We get Humana cards that can be used for food,TP and kat food once a month and is a blessing. I use mine to pay the Internet so we have that and can stream TV ( all sis can do is watch FB reels and TV. She can't read or sew or do puzzles anymore. It really sucks ðð) I also pay the electric with it. We used to take the kids and grandkids to so many places and do so many things. This Christmas ð we wanted to take the Amtrak to New Orleans for the day. Our birthday's are in Dec, her's the 10th mine is Xmas! It's not going to happen, besides not having the money, I'm too sick in the morning to make a 7 Am train ðð and ride 3 hours there. We lived in Algiers in 2012, right across the river from New Orleans and loved it! Sis couldn't find work and her daughter's boyfriend lived off us and then left. We raised his autistic son and he's doing fantastic. It's been a long strange trip like the Grateful Dead sang! Year after year and now we have conversations like " if we can't save the money to move, who's going to rent to us when we're 75? They'll figure we're going to croak!" That's funny but very sobering in reality. We know there's no Mr Wizard ðŠ to fix it or be there for us. We've always depended on each other and worked and pulled ourselves up out of each hole. Yeah right now I wish I had something to smoke in my pipe ð! But that's not going to happen either. So we pray and hang in there. I miss writing and reviewing and being able to do normal things. It's getting harder for her to drive and I stopped learning because I'm so sick in the morning. I feel wrung out. Today my check came and we had to go to the store, she was having a hard time seeing the road and I had to keep her steady in the right lane. I have to shove my anxiety down and can't be nervous because it makes it harder for her to focus. Sunday it was raining out and we got alerted on our phones of a Tornado ðŠïļ in our area. ( She disconnected her phone service because she can't see to text and can use the 40 bucks for food.) Anyway I heard the wind pick up and for the first time heard a sound like a "Freight train ð" it was scary but before I could say don't open the door ðŠ she did and almost couldn't close it the wind blew so hard ð§ð. She grabbed Maxy the big Kitty and said " let's get the cat's in the carrier" Maxy scratched her ( we haven't been able to get to Jennifer our groomer in months and doing my best clipping nails) Maxy ran upstairs under her bed and Mojo probably was under mine already. Later we saw video from Gautier MS, and the Mexican restaurant a mile and a half away was hit pretty bad. So we're a couple of apt buildings. The portapottys across the street in the park were knocked down. We were spared and the rest of the duplex complex. So let me try to share the GoFundMe at least y'all can see what I made trying to help. I'm going to post first and add it here so I don't lose what I wrote! Hugs ðĪ and thanks y'all for prayers and encouragement ðĪ ð ðđ I'm praying ð ðđ for Heaven's help to make things better! Please help this world and the people also.
