My Stuff

Well the microwave is now marked. I do not remember if I said that last week or not. I used my new spatula last week and made grilled cheese and tomato soup. Also my braille teaspoons came last week too. They were on back order so they did not come with everything else. They are so cool though. They have everything from a dash and pinch to 2 tablespoons. The coolest thing is there is a smidgen and drop spoon with them. If you think about it, it does make sense. If you are totally blind and never baked before you would not know what it is. I mean I used to be able to see and I would mess that up. Well till next week.

Stuff

Well the majority of my things came. I now have mitts that go up to my elbow and are fire retardant.

I guess the biggest deal is that the microwave is marked in braille. Now I can use the microwave. This makes me very excited. I can once again use the microwave. It takes me a little to get the right number, but that is okay with me. I do not mind taking my time to make sure I get the right number.

I haven't really tried the mitts out yet. I will be baking again and that is when I will really get to try them.

I also got a double sided spatula. This week I will get to use that. Hopefully all of these items will greatly help me. Later.

My Stuff Is In

So after waiting months, I will get the things I need to make life easier. After tomorrow I will be able to use the microwave finally. YEAH! I will also be getting other things that will make life easier for me. Hopefully I will now be able to take things out of the oven. I will have gloves to help me with this. I have to practice my braille again because I will need it. That is cool though. I will report on how certain things are next week.

Good News

So I got a letter today about the things that were ordered for me. Hopefully this means I will be getting them soon. It will help me greatly with doing things on my own. I can not wait for the stuff. I am so excited about it. Instead of having rehab tomorrow, I am having it Friday because my instructor has an emergency she has to deal with. So hopefully I will have more to talk about next week.

Not Much to Say

This is going to be short today. I did not have rehab last week because of the weather. I am not having it tomorrow because my teacher has to help another client. So I will not have it till next week. There is not much going on with me. I will try to come up with something interesting for next week. Later.

Blueberry Muffins

So last week I made blueberry muffins. They actually came out good. I got to try the new ice cream scoop that was bought for me to use. I did not make much mess this time. I took the muffin cups out of the tray and filled them with the new scoop. It was nice not making a mess this time. It was much easier taking out the cups and filling them. I am going to cancel this week because there is going to be a lot of snow.

Where I Was

So I need to explain where I was last week. I was at the NIH or the National Institute of Health. I was there for the second time concerning my ECD or Erdheim-Chester Disease.

I love it down there. People are so nice to me. They also have really good food at the hospital. I know that typically hospital food is bad, but not at the NIH. Their menu rivals that of a restaurant. There is fish, chicken, steak, and pasta on it for dinner. Lunch and breakfast are equally as good. There is quite a selection of beverages and desserts too. I actually enjoy going to that hospital because of that reason.

This time was much easier then when I went in November of 2012. That week was horrible. I had no down time and kept going all week. At least this time I was able to breathe and had some time to relax.

It hasn't happened yet, but I hope that what I do does help people out with the ECD. I am going to go, I will catch you all later.
