Vindicated, Scared, Win

It's 2018 and I just found out I have MS. All these years I've tried to make doctors understand that there is something wrong with me. Vindicated! I have only been married 1 year and 2 days. I'm 69 years old. Will my new husband be willing to be a caregiver? I'm scared!

We're doing this together

Now here it is, 2022. We've made it through Covid, and now we are facing MS together. We've grown closer through leg braces, a big loss of cognition, and now a cane and sight issues. So now we press on and press forward to where? I'm not sure, but we are doing it together, my new husband and me. Am I still scared? Yes, a bit, because the MS is speeding up, but come what may, we will face it together.

We're not letting MS win

I'm now in Red Hats, a church council member, and in charge of our church pantry that gives free food and clothing every week. My husband volunteers with the Emergency Management of our county. We are not letting MS win.

Pajama party with his relatives. Oh deer.
