About DAWN K. FERRING
Well been married 30 years now. To my husband Brian, and we have two son's and a beautiful daughter. I have and 5 grandsons, funny when I think about I have five brothers, and one sister!
I love to laugh and make everyone around me to laugh, with me or at me cause then I feel even. Life is to,short to worry so I try to make the best out of each day. I have had systems ten years before they told me what I had, I said ok what is it and how do I deal with it, then I said oh ya, I am not crazy . And the hello to all who said I was !!!
I am very serious when I need to be, other than that heck I am an country girl stuck in the city. Jam like being in the city but I really miss seeing the stars and I really, really miss the sound and smell of the ocean!
When they tell you that you have Multiple Sclerosis , you think you life is over well you thought wrong. I am living proof that it is not!
Before Multiple Sclerosis I spent a great deal of time raises my boy's and being a Volunteer FireFighter and Rescue. I got to retired after over 20 plus years. I miss it as lot put now at 52i said play time over now what can I do, so I road in a MS bike ride , sad part for me is a car beep,the horn and scared the hello,out of me and I crash.
I told my hubby well heck I didn't do well , he told me I did nine miles and was using and it was on A bike from Walk-Mart for a hundred buck! He told me he w as so proud of me!
Man I was shock I went that far, I was to busy looking around at the farms and other critters along the way.
Now I slow down to a 52 year old grandma. So see as long as you,talk to your doctor and make sure you do everything they tell you and you also need to let the know what is going on with you!
Best thing is you are not alone ever !!!!!! There are health groups, and then you have the Internet , all of us that have MS, is we do have. Phone , Internet and people we can turn too.
The doctors know more than before than they did centuries before us did, so see we are better off already .
Most of it is how you chose to deal with you MS , you can hide or take it one day at a time a keep living!
And when you feel bad just do like me tell yourself you are better and stronger than you think you are!!!!!
