Today, I went to see my orthotics person. She’s so cute, OMG! But that’s not why I went to see her! Anyway, those bloody mushrooms! Honestly, it’s really hard to concentrate on anything else! Anyway! I was ordering new foot braces, so I can get back to taking some steps every day. I am very excited to get the new ones in a couple of weeks and, maybe, a few weeks after that be back to walking a reasonable distance with my walker. Have a good weekend everybody!

One of my lovely members after me about my walking, and I said how I can only take a very few steps at the moment due to my legs not cooperating. This led to the question about has this made it harder for sex? I thought I would share the answer, because I immediately said no, actually pulling my legs apart and has become easier of late. I attributed it to Botox but then I was thinking that maybe it’s been way too long since I had it for it to suddenly get so much better. I have recently started taking a new supplement called lions mane mushrooms. They do a few things to help with MS and one of them is to reduce spasticity, I think they worked really well! My legs are easier to pull a part, although really, that only has one use. I like that use, but I would prefer them to help with the walking. Also, downside of the mushrooms seems to be that they significantly increase my need for that one use!

Hey everyone, just reminding you all that the main purpose of this subscription is a chance to talk to me and ask questions or just chat. It’s a great way to learn about my disability, living with disabilities in general, or, you can talk to me about literally anything else. there is still about 20% of you at the moment who aren’t talking to me, so I wanted to make sure you get your moneys worth and know I am here!

Are your leg spasms annoying? It depends. Sometimes it happens at an inconvenient time, and that is annoying, but sometimes it can be quite nice to feel them move and I just let them keep going. ======================= Ask Chrissy - send me a message with your questions and I’ll answer them over the next few days on my feed.How long have you been in the wheelchair?

How long have you been in the wheelchair? There isn’t an exact date for this because my loss of walking was a gradual thing. And to be honest, someone can probably find me a better date by going back through my post, but at the beginning of the pandemic I was still primarily using a walker. I think the wheelchair became my main aid around two years ago? It is a manual wheelchair, but mostly my boyfriend pushes me as I don’t really have the arm strength to do it myself. In about a month I will have my electric wheelchair and then it’ll all be me! ======================= Ask Chrissy - send me a message with your questions and I’ll answer them over the next few days on my feed.How long have you been in the wheelchair?

Will you actually ever walk again? Honestly, I don’t know. I guess if you are all taking bets, the smart money is on no. But I would like to be able to get back to where I was a couple of years ago, where was in the chair for long-distance trips, and a walking aid for short ones. I like to believe that it’s possible. Also, who knows what medical science will find in the coming years, maybe one day I’ll open my account on onlycyborgs.com ======================= Ask Chrissy - send me a message with your questions and I’ll answer them over the next few days on my feed.

What exercises are you doing at the moment? I had a really long period of illness, and after it ended, I found myself with extremely stiff muscles and very limited movement below the waist. I do find exercising and stretching to be significantly more difficult than it used to be and struggle most days to get into them. One of the joys of exercising used to be getting all sweaty, and really feeling the workout, that is no longer possible. I just cannot exert the kind of energy necessary to be that way. When I do exercise, though, I do shallow squats and various stretches on a yoga mat. It is also helpful to have someone with me who can stretch my legs much further than I am able to. To be honest, I probably get the best stretch during sex at the moment. ======================= Ask Chrissy - send me a message with your questions and I’ll answer them over the next few days on my feed.

I’m so excited. I just ordered a Trekinetic GTE wheelchair. It is an ultra lightweight powered chair with mountain bike wheels, so I can drive off-road through the forest and even on sand! It’s gonna take a couple of months for it to arrive, but when it does I can’t wait to show it off. It is similar to the demo model in the previous post, but I have ordered it without the headrest or the handlebars, so it looks sleeker.

Botox update - day 5 I am supposed to see the difference by day seven, but I am already on day five and to be honest I don’t feel any difference at all. It’s going to be really annoying if it makes absolutely no difference and I still have to wait four months until they can try a higher dose. Grrr

I had Botox today! Not because I’m getting on a bit. I had Botox in my right thigh. My right leg has started to pull across the left when I try to do things. It’s one of my biggest hurdles for walking at the moment, I can’t use my exercise bike too because of it. Also, if anyone happens to be between my legs for any reason I am getting in the habit of crushing them a little bit. (Have you seen those videos of people breaking watermelons?) so the Botox should essentially weaken that muscle and stop it from coming across and breaking watermelons. I should see some change in about a week and if it has worked and I can have it redone every four months or so!

Hi everyone! I am feeling so much better! It was either the onion my grandmother told me to put under my bed, or the antibiotics from the doctor. I think we can all agree it was probably the onion! Haha! I did not go for my walk on Friday, I really wanted to, but my boyfriend insisted there was some law against a girl with pneumonia and a haywire immune system being allowed to walk in the rain. It was also tipping it down today but fingers crossed for tomorrow. I did however go and get my chest x-ray. I haven’t had the results yet, but I should hear from my doctor tomorrow or Wednesday. The fact I didn’t hear today does suggest there’s probably nothing majorly wrong and the pneumonia was already on the mend by the time I got the x-ray done on Friday.

So I went to see my doctor, as I’m still being sick at night a couple of times a week. He gave me some medicine to help with that, thinking it was a reaction to some of the medications I am taking. Unfortunately, while I was there he listen to my breathing and could hear a problem in one bit. He thinks my lungs have collapsed a bit and developed an infection, so I have pneumonia!! I do have a bit of a cough, but other than that I feel fine. He’s giving me some amoxicillin and I have to arrange to grab a chest x-ray next week. I feel mostly fine though! I don’t think it will stop me going for my walk. And I will keep you all informed!

I am going to attempt another walking video next week! I wanted to surprise you with it this week, but unfortunately my boyfriend has injured his foot and has been unable to take me out. It is actually a funny story, but he stepped on an upturned plug. Any British person out there knows our plugs are the absolute worst to step on and they really hurt. The difference is he was jumping at the time and the plug went right in! There was an insane amount of blòod! I really thought we’d have to call an ambulance as it just would not stop. But it is healing now, and although painful, he should be back up for taking me walking next week! I can’t wait to show you all my progress, if I’ve made some progress, I haven’t been able to do anything more than a couple of steps in several months, but I have been working really hard on my squats and stretches and I’m super confident when I get there I will be able to take steps for you.
