| You never are really sunk there is always hope |
The day you were diagnosed was probably a bittersweet day in that you finnaly discovered what disease you have and now proper medications or treatments could now be started.Then with time it hit you.This disease multiple sclerosis can get mean and down
right disabling.At maybe a support group you were able to meet other MS affected persons who had the disease a few years .My wife always found such meetings distressing as so many were in wheelchairs .But that is in deed a fact with many of us after we have had the disease for say 20 + years,especially with us with Primary Progressive MS
Beleive it or not we do get used to our scooter or wheelchairs and have fun as these things are just tools to replace your lost mobility.
I was so happy with my first scooter and in fact now on my 4th scooter I'm still elated to be going places easily and without a struggle.
Struggles can end in either pain or falling down easily neither of which do I want to repeat too often.
Now after many years of my "so called MS CAREER" i have learned to be loose and stop worring about things that I can't control such as very inoperative legs that hard work in the short distance to get the mail out of our box .Crutches days are over and now mobility is much better actually as a wheeler than a struggled walking gait with crutches and braces.Yes I also tried out the rollator and didn't walk ant easier but it did have a seat to sit upon when I got tired ,but so does a wheelchair have a seat and its even more comfortable.
Actually the rollator take just a little less space in the car than a wheelchair.
But there is a time and a place for all such things and their end of usefulness comes eventually.
