So, today is here. Today is December 28th. I am quiet today, as usual. My debilitating disease is finally legal to drink alcoholic beverages. Too bad that I stopped drinking a decade ago! In speaking with Sean today, I told him that the teeter totter is no longer level and my 21 years is left on the ground because after 21 years, it’s quite heavy to carry! I am left with no other choice but to carry it. I was thinking about today being my 21st anniversary and the fact that a family friend/acquaintance was recently diagnosed. I was struck by hearing this news and I have thought of that of a scared 18-year-old girl being told that she had multiple sclerosis. I will never forget how that day felt 21 years ago! I saw this posted on Facebook a few days ago:
On this day, 21 years ago, my life, unbeknownst to me, was divided into two parts! Before and after this. The before part is starting to get a little hazy and the after is proving to be so tiring and difficult!
