Way to go, Sally!!!

Change is hard for most people, but inevitable with this disease. When I was interviewed for a book several years ago, I said:

"The most painful aspect of living with MS is the loss of opportunity. It takes away our identity and independence. It limits our options and ability to experience enjoyment from activities, like working . . ."

I said that (before LDN) when I had to give up my job, and was unable to even negotiate stairs. Things changed for the better, but I have always appreciated that that could change AGAIN in an instant.

As hard as it is, I am so happy you are coming out of denial on this issue, and facing the problem head on. Get your bars, ramps, some in home assistance . . . whatever you need to keep your independence for as long as possible. You will be ok.

Cherie
