I have been retired for two years now with disability due to MS. More than ever I am feeling so isolated and removed from my life that I knew for 25 years. I worked with the same "friends" for all that time. They were my second family and a lot of the time... just like part of my real family. I had no friends outside of these, there was no time for that.

I know they are all so busy...because I was amid the 'busy-ness' for all those years. But more than ever I feel them fading away. And it makes me cry. I guess it's inevitable, but it's THE WORST PART OF THIS MS C#@P.

I guess I'm just whining...or looking for hugs from those who might understand. Obviously... I'm in the mood for someone to feel sorry for me. I'm not like this very often. I am most usually a brave little trooper...

Thanks for listening!
