Yup....it's a real bummer!!!! Especially so for any of you in your "younger" years who can no longer drive. I was fortunate in that I was able to drive into my sixties. Ouch! Every time I write or say that "s" word, I can't believe it pertains to me!!!!!

As I posted a while ago, I've sold my car and now have no vehicle. For doctor appointments, my two friends or daughter-in-law drive me. And yes, I'm a nervous Nellie too -- always wanted to be in control. They also shop for me, pick up stuff at the drug store, even go to the bank for me. Now that the spasticity has gotten so bad in my legs, it's almost impossible to get into a car let alone use the pedals. The fatigue is so horrible that just getting dressed and ready to go is a major operation. Going "out" isn't fun anymore.

I'm sure a few years ago this would have been a traumatic event -- not driving -- but since I've been to Walmart only ONCE this past year and out to dinner a couple times, I've gotten used to being a house plant. Just another thing MS has taken away and something else to wrap our brain around (such as it is). I pray all you "youngin's" will keep going......and going.......and going. Take care!
