Hi RW
I think it is an awesome opportunity. To spread the promising news about Ty, and to let the world know, so to speak. I think if "everyone" gets the basic info, then there is no deciding to tell or not to tell. If anyone has questions they can ask.

When I moved to Denver, I told most people, mainly because I was around for a bit, then I wasn't and let's face it people talk. They didn't know me before MS, so there was no comparison. Then those that wanted to more info, approached me and we grew closer because of the understanding shared.

In OH, I told noone for a long time. I tried to cover the stumbles, mental and physical. I was so concerned with trying to fit in. Maybe it's old age, but I like being different and am proud of what I can do. It fluxuates depending on sx, but it's just me, good/bad/clumsy/absent minded too.

I sure hope someone comes by with an opposing viewpoint too. Bottom line -only you can decide. Maybe the good old, pros v cons, list is an option. Feel free to run it by us. You know you've got alot of support here.
