living and dealing with ms

morning everyone, sitting here having a cup of coffee and getting ready to start work.  cat is fed and watered, just waiting for my husband to get up so i can make the bed.  let me tell you a little about myself.  i was diagnosed 3 years ago after greg and i moved to nh.  my doctor i had at the time didnt like the way i was walking and that is what started it all.  after i was officially diagnosed with this i think very annoying disease, that first summer i would mostly be grateful i was able to work from home.  but i sure did a lot of crying and wondering what i did to deserve this and i thought god was punishing me.  finally my daughter told me i should see a therapist which i still do and it is a big help.  i still work, though from home and grateful, i can still drive, and i still do things.  however, now i listen to my body when it says to me "you need to slow down and take it easy"  that was the hardest part for me to learn was the whole pacing myself.  so now it is 3 years later, still working, got back in touch with old friends, i still drive even though it is not very far, but i still do it.  we bought a new house and my husband made our bathroom with a really c ool shower stall so i dont have to step up and over the tub and kill myself.  i also adopted a cat that is my friend and keeps me company.  i also keep a journal which also helps.  so this is me, and i would love to hear from you.  signing out to start work
