“Enjoy your day at Cedar Point,” said the cheery ticket taker. I planned to! It had been over 20 years since my last visit, so today I was going to be a thrill seeker maniac! Just past the opening gate was my first coaster challenge…the Raptor. Sounds nice, I thought. Named for …
In this post, My Odd Sock writes a letter to his Dad…or “Dude”… as he was nicknamed by me many years ago. Here is what the letter said….. Dear Dude, What’s happening? Yeah, I’m writing a letter. Call me the Emily Post of Penmanship. Anyway, I just wanted to say I’m sorry …
While enjoying my two week My Odd Sock corporate sabbatical, I discovered two new MS symptoms..or side effects (however you want to classify them). During the course of my extensive research, I have become curious if you suffer with these two MS maladies as well? Not yet recognized by the medical community, …
Let’s repeat this early Odd Sock. Enjoy..or wretch! When I was diagnosed with MS, little did I know this chronic disease would require me to own more walking aids than Dr. Scholls. I’m like the Inspector Gadget of mobility! Having Multiple Sclerosis can be completely unpredictable. One day, you get around fine but the next …
Please enjoy this encore My Odd Sock…… We discreetly meet once a week. Not a word is spoken. In my arms, we move in fluid motion. Sometimes, we begin in the kitchen and gracefully end near the front door. Other times it’s the foyer. Even the bathroom. Together, we move, dip twirl and spin. …
Please enjoy this old My Odd Sock. The “Best of”…or “Worst of” if you will. Enjoy! It was time to invest in a new cane. My old one was a reliable partner, but it was beat-up and had alot of miles. The shiny-new 2010 models were out, so I shuffle-dragged myself to the …
Bullsh##! And the next time I hear someone say that, I may just scream like a girl at a Justin Bieber concert. Because you wouldn’t say “things happen for a reason” had you attended the same funeral for a 20 year old young man that I did recently. I still shake my head …
One of the toughest challenges in dealing with multiple sclerosis is the feeling of helplessness. In other words, you want to help….but you can’t. We are doing some home improvements around the My Odd Sock HQ. Mostly hired help but partly do-it-yourself (to save moolah). So the other day we had three very generous …
Phew! I’m late with this post of My Odd Sock because of the hoopla! The pomp & circumstance! The festival-like atmosphere surrounding my recent celebration makes Cinco de Mayo seem like a funeral. Why didn’t you tell me this would be so grand? What on Earth am I talking about? Like you don’t know! …
The Swiss Army Knife. First introduced in 1859, this baby was the cat’s meow of knives! The Swiss Army Knife was decked out like a pimp’s Cadillac Coupe DeVille. It’s the McGyver of cutlery! Boasting not only a main blade and a smaller blade too…..plus, tweezers, a toothpick, corkscrew, can-opener, flat-head screwdriver, Phillips-head …
