Gone.

Disease progression with MS absolutely stinks!!! it really stinks this far into the disease!!! I’ve been drinking my breakfast for a number of years. I don’t mind it. It’s difficult to swallow that early for me anyway.

Well, I no longer can open my nutrition shake on my own. You know, when you are opening something and that little piece of plastic needs to be broken. Well, that’s too much for me now!

I am extremely happy that I got my mom a can opener for Mother’s Day a couple years ago. I got it for her because she said opening things was getting difficult. I’m glad this tool helps with what I needed for now.

Looks like that ability is gone for me now too. It is never coming back. That is a fact I am desperately trying to get okay with. I have to. But you know what was in my head this whole time as I grieve my ability:

in 2002, when this song came out, I was in college, on Canadian crutches, still driving, and thinking my life would turn out differently than it has. #ItSucksToSuck!!! #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
