in the early days, I was vocal and everyone wanted me to share with them. As days passed by and friends fell away some made the comment that they couldnt hear it anymore. I said YOU ASKED! do you want me to lie? and some said...yes! I want to be able to ask my friend how are you, and hear a short simple to the point "im good, and you?" without having to hear that the heat is making your MS crazy or your vision is better today, but still not quite right. So...I shut up.

Now when folks say "how are ya?" I said "im good! and you?" so, unless I have some horribly visual stuff that I cant hide, im no longer sharing. Folks only want to hear it a couple of times, but as far as being a long haul thing...nope, they get tired and want to run off. Well, I want to run off too!

im with ya. dont tell um!
