I thought it was really cruel of life to:
1. in 2002 DX me with MS

2. by 2008 have gone in preceding years from Canadian crutches to rollator to wheelchair. There was menopause in there too!

3. As DH says, now I'm sitting on my best part, said "Wow" when I showed him, "That dress is great for you, but you don't stand up anymore, that dress would show off IF you did. Can you fit in that dress you wore once?"

In a chair no one sees you unless it's to be really kind. They also tend to talk loudly to you. I want to say "I can't walk, I'm not deaf. " Time and MS has taken my youth. But I guess even without MS, 53 would have hit me hard anyway..

So:
-I'm buying the dress anyway.
-I'm never give up my wrinkle creams, despite the price (not outrageous, but more than Supermarket - though Oil of Olay is suppose to be good)
-clothes shopping is a needed and necessary activity.

I hope to be a heck of an old lady.


PS The nice young Terminex man came, I don't thomk he sees anyone but someone in a chair.
