Happy Anniversary Barb.. You've come a long way baby - have a Virginia Slims..
I'm glad you will be retiring soon and be able to enjoy life at your own pace.
I remember waaaaaaay back when I had my first symptoms of MS, in 1964.

Wasn't DX till 1975/6 and remember my Neuro surprised at my possitive attitude. I remember saying, "there are worse things" and he saying, "yes there certainly are".
I want you to know Barb, that my 48 year journey with MS has not been that bad. Up times and down times and interesting times, but nothing I couldn't stand and actually grateful for the life changing lessons it has taught me. I've had some unhappy times but, mostly, I remain a happy person.
My best to you Barb, for your future and to same for you all.
