Jim says he's used to it because there is nothing he can do about it. You accept it or you don't. There is a process of grieving to go through. The denial, anger, depression, denial again, anger again, than maybe acceptance. Then more happens and you start that process all over again. It's a toss up many times. It's OK to feel down about it. If you don't feel emotions that in itself can take you down. So, it's normal to wonder if you'll ever get "used' to what's going on in your body.

One thing I can say with certainty is that I am in awe of my husband and how he deals with his ms. I've been blessed to learn from him that life does not end when you become disabled. For us, it started when he lost his abilities. It really did. We don't take for granted what he can do anymore because you never know when it will be snatched away. Just like that, snap.

Live today as if you were dying.
