About Me
I am a 40 year old with MS who has just heard from my doctor that I need to share my story to encourage others. I fight foot drop, knee lock, hip flexor failure, bladder and bowel incontinence, balance difficulties, cognitive issues, body aches, circulation problems, weakness, fatigue, and skin pain. I work on rehab at the gym an hour and a half three times a week. I swim ¼ mile (dragging my legs) 1-2X/week. I do a crossword, a word find, a timed scrabble daily. I enjoy gardening, pets, books, and people. I've been told that I have more guts than sense. That explains the bruises.
