not to go OT on you sass but how is your grandaughter?
i havn't read anything about her in a while, or is it just me. didn't she have some kidney problem? is she ok now? just wondering. for me, MS is big in my life but doesn't control me. i work around it. just like i did with the cancer. you just deal with whatever you're dealt and make the very best of it you can.

She has another test in May just to double check and then she doesn't have to go there any more unless something comes up in the future, which it shouldn't. Now, have you got an hour for me to brag about her on other things too? She's our little princess!

i'm approaching my "ms" anniversary and am way more in the acceptance mode. however, it still sometimes really blanks that i can't do what i used to do---go to political rallies, volunteer, attend parades, etc. etc.
but life is mostly good and i'm learning to do what i can with what i have! including asking for help when i need it! on this historic week, i have had family visiting and they do not totally understand the impact of the fatigue.

I've thought about this for a while. It's very thought provoking.
I suppose everyone asks themselves this question......"why did I get MS"? It can be a "why me" question or a scientific question...."what actually triggered MS in me?" I've asked both. It's been a little over three years since I've been dx. I've seen alot of changes in my life since then. But one thing I firmly believe is that I have MS for a reason....whether to teach me something or help me teach others something. A little of both, I believe. I choose to consider MS a different direction in my life. Something I had not banked on or considered but it's my reality now. I love a challenge and I try to find new and innovative ways to do things that I previously enjoyed but find it hard to do now. And if I help one person who is having a rough time of it.....whether they have MS or not......then to me it's all been worth it. Some days I curse it, others I find reasons to be thankful for it. But what it all comes down to is that this is me. Take it or leave it.
