Spasticity got less after I took demerol (I hate to do that). I guess I just didn't feel it any more. I was able to walk and went to vote, although the numbness in my feet made me feel like I was walking in galoshes (old fashioned rain boots, in case anyone is too young to remember galoshes).
I listened to the program about Romney's life on CNN and was of course fascinated with Ann and her MS diagnosis period. She struggled for a few years and then, implied by the interviewer, she "got it under control". But they didn't say how. Some of us might be interested?
