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.
