This is an update on Annette Funicello. Warning: the images of her condition today may be found disturbing. Truth is that reality is not always "nice."

I could not help but notice that her legs are permanently bent and her hands fisted. I can relate to this particular spasticity.

I had the CCSVI procedure in August. My legs can now straighten, I am more limber. I have regained movement in my right leg and can now put on my shoes without struggling.

Finally, how can I not love that husband of hers? He treats her with so much love and dignity.
