Thanks for sharing your story too and the positive thoughts. I guess every once in awhile I just want to scream at the world "why me?" But you are right that there are people who have it even worse. I have a loving husband, I'm financially stable, my job makes me very happy. And I'm trying to convince the DH to get a dog (can't have cats any more since I developed allergies). I once read an article about "balance dogs" for people with MS. I thought that was so cool, particularly since they suggested Great Danes which I have always been enamored with. I should be thankful that balance isn't a problem and that I can walk. But somehow getting a dog like that feels like a security blanket!!
