Pure coiencedence and not sure if she had MS, but I am pretty sure it was MS.

I rode my Mountain Bike to the Grocery Store this morning and noticed a woman in one of those store scooters pulling up to her van. As curious as I am for all things MS now, I kinda made a couple of "stalker" loops to see how she goes about getting her bags in the van etc . I wasn't starring....just curious. She stood up out of the scooter with one hand on the van and the other loading bags into the van.

I walked into the store and was checking out the RedBox(movies) when she drives the scooter back into the store. My interest was peaked at this point and I so wanted to ask if it is MS, but I didn't. I was very glad she asked me to grab her a shopping cart that was nearby...she used it as a walker to go back outside where her friend had pullled the van up to the curb. She held onto the cart with both hands and slowly dragged each leg.. they looked super stiff and hardly any bend as she walked, kinda like she was moving her legs with her hips in a dragging fashion....she was slow.

I wanted to ask about MS so bad and wanted to tell her I am new at it, but I was to nervous to mention my MS deal. So I just told her the RedBox was broken and I now had to ride to the other one. She had to be about 40 tops I'd say. Looked like MS to me, but who knows.... I should of just asked, because I have so many questions...Like how long did it take to get to this point, how old were you when it struck....everything. So after doing my White Knight thing I took the cart back into the store.

But yes....I didn't feel as if I had anything MS after I saw her....Poor girl can't move her legs that very well....

Just had to share.... carry on.
