For true friends, I have always gone above and beyond the call of duty. In my one friendship of 8 years, there has literally been one time I was not there when I said I would be, but, really and truley it was my husbands fault I could not follow through because he was called into work at the last minute. I pride myself on my follow through. Now, there may be caveats along the way. Yes, I can make this adjustment, I have to. Now, I have to learn to put myself first, which is something I have never really done. Yes, not a good way to live, but has always been my way.
I'll keep the faith, and I am glad to know that my crapshoot has a name, and that I can adjust my life accordingly. I would prefer that than to not know what is going on and having all these things happening, and not know how to plan.
Most of my post was tongue in cheek. I just found humor in the fact that of everything that could happen, the one chosen is one that forces me to face all the (small insignificant) things that I hate  |
We are most definitely on the same page with all this. We follow-through types have the inner resources and raw determination to stick with something until it's finished to our satisfaction (as if
that's possible). We have to draw on that inner strength more often and with more ferocity than ever before when we factor in the MS. And, we just do it.
