Hmmmm...

I fell awhile back. It took nearly an hour for me to get back up on my feet. This triggered me spending the last few weeks in a pretty bad depression. NOT suicidal. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired and not seeing the results I had hoped for. Not gaining any ground. Other things in my personal life caved in and crushed the wall I had set to keep me safe.

I usually grab one brick at a time (address one problem at a time), and push it off me to get back up. *Moose has never bought into the hype and BS of 'multi-tasking'. Not even when I was healthy.

But I just decided to accept the details of that particular situation as is and quit sulking. Shift my focus on something I can fix and improve.

I can draw a straight line to connect my MS diagnosis to my drinking to the car wreck that put me in this wheelchair and cane.

I'm sober now. Refuse to see a victim in the mirror.

So to answer your original question; Will I ever get used to being disabled?

No.

I may slip from time to time...
But I will keep fighting to improve what I can, how I can.
