Only Me
Gosh who'd have believed that a few years ago I was walking around as what I thought was a fully functioning adult with just the odd wince in my left leg and side. Bam!!!!!!menangitus decided it was going to knock me off my feet . Bam!!! Sounding like a drunk sailor when I couldn't get a word to sound remotely normal out of my mouth. BAM legs couldn't hold my weight. BAM hands and feet so full of tingles and wouldn't do as my brain told them to do.BAM eye sight went .BAM zombie zone where the effort to drag my fatigued body around was a killer. BAM diagnosis you have MS
after numerous tests. PHEW now I knew what it was ,I was going to fight it. MS is the alien to me and is not going to win. I have HBO every week to keep my energy up. I still work and manage a service across the county I live in. I have to strongly believe it is not going to take my life away from me. YES there are things I struggle with,like walking on the beach,climbing stairs and dancing.
BUT I can shake my stuff in a chair, I can pace myself and enjoy much more of the view cause I'm not going as fast as everyone else. I allow people to make allowances for me and swim in the smiles when they feel good about themselves for having have done something nice for me ,the disabled person. YES I might be disabled but I'm still strong, I'm still capable and I can still make you smile. Life is for living and which ever form the living comes in you have to grab it with both both hands. The pain will always be there but the chance to make memories might not.
