Six months ago, my world changed. Crazy to think it’s already (only?) been 6 months. I had so many plans and goals that instantly became irrelevant, or at least are now VERY modified. My future looks different than I thought it would. All because of 2 words: Multiple Sclerosis.
However, I am not taking it lying down. I am in the fight of my life, for my life, and will be for the rest of my life. MS has taken a lot from me, and I am going to battle, daily, to reclaim as much as I can. Some days are better than others, sometimes I almost feel “normal” again. Most days, just feel a bit wrong.
There are times I feel completely defeated. And then I remind myself about where I was 6 months ago. I couldn’t walk without a walker or cane. My legs would stop working and I would just fall down. I couldn’t drive. Reading and writing gave me blinding headaches. I’ve come back a long way.
In the last 6 months, I have learned a lot about myself. There is strength in me, and not just physically. I have begun redefining who I am, and who I want to be. I am grateful for more of the little things I used to take for granted. I’m blessed to know how supported and loved I am. And, I love you all.
Much love,
E.P.
