Concentrate On The Things That Matter.

Today has been a quiet day, with only my physiotherapy appointment with my lovely physiotherapist Matilda.

Afterwards I was extremely tired as I usually am these days, I find that doing the arm exercises is exhausting.

Nevertheless I think it's vital that I keep doing them for as long as I can do them.

Recently I have realised that it won't be long before my arms stop functioning altogether and then eventually I stop functioning too.

I've been trying to come to terms with this happening, but it really isn't easy, being in this situation.

However there is absolutely nothing I can do about it but just try to make the best of everything that I can.

This is something that I decided I had to do when I had to stay in bed from August 2008 until August 2010.

It was the only way that I could survive, without getting very depressed, now I can see that it's still the best strategy.

Sadly I can also see that my MS is steadily progressing which means that I have to remember that despite this I am going to keep enjoying life while I can.

 I try to put thoughts about my steady decline out of my mind and concentrate on the things that matter to me now.
