Daily Struggles


Typical day: the impossibles every moment of my day and yet somehow as the sun goes down, I always make it. When laying in my recliner, feeling beat up, worn out, battered and bruised, taking a minute to look back over the day, I realize that the my inner warrior kicked some major MS butt. 💪I pushed through my day with my legs and hands cramping up, tingling, hot/cold sensations while my head is buzzing, spinning and feeling lopsided. I feel like I’m on a high speed roller coaster ride. Oh, and then trying to speed dash with one leg dragging sometimes leg locking to the bathroom…well, almost. But I’m so thankful it’s not a major mess and I have a change of clothes in the bathroom, and no one even noticed that before I was wearing a pair of black shorts instead of the blue jean ones I’m wearing now.

As the day progresses I keep trying to sign, type, study, work, think, feed the cats, cook, but struggle making mistake after mistake. It takes great skill to stumble over words then turn them into something that makes sense. I have gotten pretty good at word replacement and hand gestures signing you know, you know. I’ve become an expert in judging if I can grab the next available piece of furniture, the wall, towel bar, or counter so I don’t fall.
