Your picture looks like you are my age or younger. I am 47, soon to be 48 the end of March.

I'm very much at peace with my disease. I think I have it very well under control and managing it the way that fits me. I think you're managing it the way it fits you.

I have a comfortable home (3400 sq. ft. on 3/4 acre) that is paid for. I have a great retirement program with my work that will cover disability at a much higher rate than the government if the time ever comes that I need to use it. I have raised four great men that are either graduated from college, or attending at this time, who gave up 2 years of their life to serve others both here and abroad. I have a wonderful life, and give thanks every day to my Heavenly Father for the blessings I've been given, including MS.

I don't think I need to have 15 years to understand you better. You seem to use numbers to justify your decisions and to react to others. Your last post is to prove once again that you could not be possibly wrong in your opinion.

I understand your bias now, and that is how I'll read anything you ever post. You can do the same with me. My bias is faith based, yours is number based. And maybe biased because of health care in Canada. It is certainly different than America. I hope you never regret your decisions, just as I hope I never regret my own. We're just two people dealing with a disease.
