About slowrambler

It's been over 3 yrs since I last up-dated my profile. Since I'm not on the work schedule today, now seems like the perfect opportunity to do so. I'll have been living with MS for 36 yrs (actually much longer had they been dx'ng pediatric MS when my symptoms 1st appeared at 12 yrs old) on 09/10/11. My MS classification is Secondary/Progressive. Fortunately I'm still able to work, drive a modified van, & do most of what I want to do. My wife Cheryl continues to be my greatest source of support & I get great support from the rest of my entire family.

More About slowrambler

I'm very fortunate, blessed actually to have been living with MS this long (36 yrs) & still with some modifications be able to do most of what I enjoy doing. Adaptive skiing is still a very large part of my life in the winter, as is swimming & walking (using canes or a walker) on our local "Rail Trail" during the warmer months. Being a grandpa is a wonderful joy that I consider an immense blessing! Other than that, nothing much has changed since my 1st (self) description. Chatting with folks on PLM is something I continue to greatly enjoy. I've received allot of insight & help from the people on this site & I hope that I have or that I can in some way (in the future) return the favor. Mike Elston (slowrambler)
