On a similar tract, I took out a few memoirs of people who have lived/are living with chronic illness.

Richard M. Cohen, blindsided.

Yes, he has MS, but if you have been to your local library and it is like mine, you may have four books at your disposal. One sent me to this book. I am enchanted.

I plan on reading his other two books as well. He makes mention of his negative emotions ( a veritible pn emotion version of lions, tigers and bears oh my) and how he realized he was channeling these emotions into his job to cope with his decreasing lack of control in his body.

I had a "hmmm" moment.

I also plan on reading Meredith Veiera's take on this (Richard is her husband). He has been dealing with his MS for 42 years. I found his story bouying.
