Glad I have been able to carry on and make the best of my life

Zdzisaw Beksiski

Very quickly, once I was diagnosed, I had inkling that there would be no room for feeling any shame.

That did not stop me wasting my valuable time, shame; it’s always hindsight that allows useful intelligence to be gained.

Foresight would be better, but sadly, this can’t be possibie in a totally new circumstance, such as being told, that I had Multiple Sclerosis in 2006.

Now I can see that I could not have done anything differently, how could I, when I hadn’t any idea of what would happen next to me.

At the time all I felt was scared, petrified about what nasty developments might occur next.

What  really worried me was discovering that no one knew, not even the neurologists the ‘’experts’’ knew.

No wonder there was so much fear, and no knowledge or any useful information to help me carry on with my life.

Glad I have been able to carry on and make the best of my life.

It is hard to process a change in your independence. Have a great week ahead. Love Mary

Yes Herrad, you are that. It does take courage to deal with the unknown. And you have had one of the roughest cases of MS that I have known. I think you deal with it with great grace and dignity. And that goes for Richie as well.

It seems so trite to say that all we have is NOW, but the reality of it comes home when we live with an illness with so many unknowns.

You are courage personified, Herrad, an example of the best in us.
