What being brave feels like
I know how hard it is to push through the murkiness and brain fog that surrounds you all because of multiple sclerosis. You don’t deserve the troubles it brings to your life. You didn’t cause it and you can’t seem to escape from its hold on you.
Ready for surgery
My bags are packed for a 6 day hospital stay. Not my choice of a resort stay but at least I will be taken care of while recovering from surgery on Monday morning. I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 AM, Feb 6th. Surgery will take about 2 1/2 hours. I will write to keep you updated while in the hospital. Don’t know what day I will post something but hopefully you will hear from my by the 7th.
You deserve more and better things in your life
You deserve more and better things in your life than you realize even though multiple sclerosis seems to have gotten in the way of you being able to achieve it.

4. Take time for yourself, even if it means saying "no" to others.
5. Be grateful, laugh and celebrate life.
6. Think more about what you have as opposed to what you don't have.
7. Help others.
