Dr. Spooky 👻

I was diagnosed on Halloween 2010. My neurologist called me and sort of barked, “You have MS,” into my BlackBerry. Guessing he didn’t know I was driving... it was a harsh way to hear what I really, really didn’t want to hear.

Anyway, I’ve been going thru a *flare up*? Whatever it is, it’s horrible. Don’t see (new) Dr. till late February so hoping he’s a good fit. Trying to accept what is and live a productive life. This is WAY more challenging than I ever thought possible.
