One Year Living with MS

A year ago tomorrow my life was forever changed. I spent a day with a twelve inch needle being put into my spine and was put into an MRI for nearly 3 1 /2 hours. I had every blood test known to man just to be told something I already knew. But the words from the doctor’s mouth no matter how expected they were a blow I wasn’t ready for. I have shared my story over the past year and I have gotten strength from sharing. I have received strength from the continuous support of family, friends and acquaintances. I have had some rough patches here and there but nothing that I haven’t been able to overcome because I know I have so much to be grateful and one bad day won’t break me. As I go into the one year marker of my MS diagnosis I am facing new physical challenges. I am coming to the point that I will need to make a few really big life decisions. It wasn’t what I was expecting but life is full of surprises whether you want them or not. But I know what ever happens I will be okay. It will be different and probably difficult but easy is boring right? While my hands will let me type I will continue to share this journey I am forever grateful for those who are on it with me.
