A Family Affair
It is not that we want this dreaded disease. We really don't want to share it with you. But golly gosh darn I was
more upset hearing my younger sister had been diagnosed with MS than
hearing my own diagnose.
I have said many times better me than my spouse or kids. Never thought
one of my siblings would show signs of MS. When my sister started having eye
problems I immediately told her to tell the eye specialist that her sister
has Optic Neuritis. And I let her know you can have ON and not have MS.
Unfortunatley she has both ON and MS. I think in someway she is lucky that
she has someone close who can help her with the mental aspects of having MS.
And double lucky for having the internet with all its vast knowledge on MS.
Now my sister and I can compare canes. We can share our
MS moments, and we can race each other to the bathroom.....
We can reminisce about our falls and tumbles.
We can compare our numbness and pain. We can laugh together at our MS brains. We are keeping it a Family Affair. Wanna be apart of our family?
