Wheel-Chariot of my dreams!

This is the chair I need, want, and must have! It has a leg elevating option which will help my ankles not to swell. It reclines and can elevate a few inches to help reach things. I’m working on getting this sometime in the next few months. I have to jump through insurance hoops, but I’m used to that. MY neurologist is sending the store my diagnosis report, then they get with my insurance to see how much, if any, they will pay. Once that is done a representative comes to my home to get measurements, etc.

Insurance will not help much. They feel a wheelchair only needs to get you from point A to point B. It does not need elevating legs, recline, or elevation. They call those ‘luxuries’!  Are they fucking kidding me!! It’s a ‘luxury’ to elevate my legs, to recline, and make it easier to reach things? WOW!! I guess it’s a luxury to be crippled too! grrrrrr I didn’t ask for MS so why is it so hard to want to be able to have a chair that helps me live my life with MS.

I’ll do whatever I have to, to get this chair. I spend my time in bed as the chair I have is a basic model. After 20 minutes of sitting my legs swell and my lower back is in pain. This ‘new’ chair will allow me to get up and get going. I will be able to make my jewelry again because I’ll be able to elevate my legs at the table. I haven’t made anything for so long and I miss it terribly. If I have to, I’ll sell myself on the boulevard… Okay probably not, but you get my point. lmao I really need this chair. When I found it whilst surfing the net, I started crying. I saw my ‘new’ life with this chair. I want an orange base for MS and animal awareness. It will be so cool. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas!

I’m  back to getting the excess weight off again. I figure, if I have to be in a wheel-chariot, I’m going to be a hot bitch in a wheel-chariot! I’ve never been heavy. So this weight gain is very depressing for me. I look in the mirror and cry. Why I don’t look in the mirror much. I know if I lose the weight it will be easier for me and those who help me on a daily basis. I even turned down cherry cheesecake danish today. OMG, it was not easy! Paleo and gluten free is my lifestyle. I will do it this time… I have to.

The Vampire Diaries: Polls

TracyLeave a comment

I know it’s hard to choose, but who SHOULD be with Elena? Everything Stefan has done, he has done for Elena. Everything Damon has done, he has done for himself, including screwing up Stefan and Elena’s relationship. He’s just so cute when he does it. Hard choice as they’re both so easy on the eyes.

************************

Caroline, Caroline, Caroline! Who should she be with? They’re not giving us much choice since Klaus is now off to his own show, “The Originals”. But OMG… the chemistry between the two [Caroline & Klaus] is amazing. Talk about having sex with your eyes. Tyler, not so much. IMO. So whatcha think?

Candy Crush-aholic!

Tracy4 Comments

Hi my name is Tracy, and I’m a Candy Crush-aholic!

This game is highly addictive. Thanks to one of my favorite people, my stepmom, I’m addicted. I actually play a lot of games. They keep my mind occupied. When you’re stuck in bed most of the time,  it’s good to have an outlet. And games are my thing. My neurologist says it’s good to play them as they keep your mind active. Well if that’s true, then my mind is active all the time.

Level 257 bitches!
Level 257 bitches!

I play this and a few others on my MAC, my iPad, and my iPhone. I know, I need to get a life! lol But, this is my life. I’ve had to learn to let go of many things and find new things to replace them. Thanks to the internet, I found games!! Woot Woot!

**************************

At this time, I’m getting ready to watch, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He was a twisted little man. Probably why I like his shows. The Birds [1963] is a favorite of mine. Years ago I was in Bodega Bay and they still have the ‘fake’ crows on the school fences and around the town. Totally creepy, but wickedly cool. Psycho [1960] is another favorite. There are so many of his works I love. Wicked is as wicked does! 😛

Good Evening!
Good Evening!

Off for now and back to Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Kids are all out with friends, hubby getting ready for bed, so quiet time with TV for me. Ahhhhh silence!

Christie signs ‘Patrick’s Law’ to increase animal cruelty penalties

This is awesome news!!! ALL cities and states should follow.

On another note…

Patrick SHOULD remain with the Scavelli’s forever. The Associated Humane Society and Popcorn Park Zoo is still trying to take him away so they can what, put him in their shelter and find him another home? Keep him in their zoo? Are they fucking serious!!! Patrick is healthy and finally happy in a loving home and AHS wants to rip him away from there. I thought AHS was about doing what’s best for the animals. Seriously, what kind of humane society owns a zoo?? They are wasting the states money and taking the Scavelli’s to court to rip him away. When the devil scum Keisha Curtis has her sentencing, the courts will decide the custody case as well. If AHS takes him away from his family, it is tantamount to abusing him all over again. As it stands, Curtis may not do any time as it is her first offense. Sickening!!! I just hope the courts do the right thing, and let Patrick stay where he belongs… With the Scavelli’s!!

Peace!

The Banana Splits TV show! Total blast from the past!

The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, and ran for 31 episodes on NBC Saturday mornings, from September 7, 1968 to September 5, 1970.

The Banana Splits

Theme song:

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

One banana, two banana, three banana, four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin’ on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Lot’s of fun for everyone.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one.
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun.
Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Are you freakin’ kidding me!

Another sleepless night here at Casa Radford! When this happens my mind cannot quiet down. After watching some eye candy on The Vampire Diaries, namely Damon, Klaus, and Stefan, crazy thoughts went flying through my head. Get your mind outta the gutter!! lmao

Yummy!!!
Yummy!!!

Things that irritate me:

Chewing with your mouth open

People who can’t put down their cell phones when visiting. RUDE much. Stop freaking texting.

Those who answer a question WITH a question.

People who complain about getting fat, when the only thing ‘fat’ is their head!

Dealing with idiot nurses at my neuro’s office.

Angelina Jolie’s lips. Get that woman some Chapstick for fucks sake!!

Dark thoughts:

Anxiety strikes when I can’t sleep and depression sets in, then anger, then craziness. I go from crying, to wanting to just punch someone in the face, to giggling. Time for the huggy jacket! [in black please with silver studs]

My new room!
My new room!

Psycho Babble:

The next thing I know is I’m singing songs in my head. I find myself rockin’ out as I’m lying down. Hmmm, this is exercise for me. 😉 Then I ‘write’ down, in my mind, what my next blog will be. It always sounds better in my head then when I actually start typing it out. Although they don’t make much sense either way. I think sometimes I might be a tad A.D.D… Oh look, a shiny penny.

What I will say, is that being in my head can be fun. Being a tad off is much more enjoyable than being ‘normal’. I’m also kind of lucky. I may be trapped i a body I hate, but I still have a window to outside world. I have an awesome adjustable king size bed, a cool hospital type table on wheels for my MAC [my link to life], and a huge TV on my wall with wireless capabilities [Netflix, You Tube, etc.]. I’m pretty spoiled by my hubby. He’s all right… for a guy! 😛

Until next time.

Cage her like the ‘animal’ she is!

On July 30, 2013 Kisha Curtis plead guilty to animal cruelty in Patrick the Dog case.

For the full story click here.

I just pray that she gets the FULL sentence for her heinous crimes against Patrick. Even then, 18 months is NOT long enough for the torture she put him through. She’s a wicked evil piece of shit. How anyone could do that to a living being is beyond me. Pure evil she is!

Patrick is a true miracle.

********************************

From my blog here.

March 2011

Starved to the point where he had no temperature, then thrown down a garbage chute like yesterday’s trash, this was the life of Patrick. He is an approximately one year old Pit/Mix who was brutally mistreated/tortured by his owner.

abused and left for dead

But this amazing puppy has more spirit than many humans I know and he held on. He made it through the night to March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, and was given the name Patrick.

these eyes…

If these eyes could talk, most would probably not be able to listen about the torture he went through.

My spirit is strong!

I will fight to help other animals that are abused.

Thank You!!

Please help end this cruelty. Remember, it starts with animals and moves on to the children. Someone who could do this to a living creature, could do this to anyone.

Love and Light

Sad day indeed…

Tracy2 Comments

As I logged on to FaceBook today I read a very sad post. An amazing lady, animal advocate, and friend had passed away on Thursday.

Lisa Myer gave of herself daily in order to save the lives of animals in shelters. It never mattered the breed, or the circumstances, it was all about the unconditional love she had for these amazing creatures.

I never got the honor to meet her in person, but I knew her in the animal advocate community for quite some time now. She will missed by so many in the community.

My deepest sympathies go out to her family during this time. She was a person who felt deeply in regards to the inhumanities against our beloved 4-legged babies. She took her cause to heart.

I will not get in to the circumstances of her death here. It is tragic and will take time for those who loved her to understand. All I know is Heaven must have needed and new angel. I know in my heart when she got to the bridge, she was met by many sloppy wet kisses from the animals she fought for and those she loved. She will be advocating from her new resting place, and I truly hope she found the peace and serenity she so deserved.

If you knew Lisa and would like to join the FaceBook memorial to her, please click here.

R.I.P. Lisa
