With all of the sad news from this past week, I decided to share better things, stories of how my life with MS can at times get better.
Foot drop, at times, will temporarily relent. Does this mean that I can go running? By far the answer is, "No." Rather, I take the time to enjoy walking around without needing to brace myself on the handles of my walker so that I can throw my weight into lifting my leg high enough to let my toes clear the floor.
Fatigue can go up and down as well. Yes, there have been times in which I was so tired that it was difficult to lift a fork to feed myself, which if you know me makes it all the more incomprehensible. There are also times in which I have enough energy to: get a shower, get dressed, go make coffee, and still hold a tolerably human conversation. I cherish those times, almost feeling I've just come off of another IV of Solu-Medrol without the aftertaste.
Why would I want to share this topic? Well, it's actually for two reasons: to encourage whomever ends up reading this and to remind me not to lose hope. I am the one I know of that needs the most reminding not to quit, or to lose momentum. I also encourage others that even though it can seem dark, there are times when a little light can pierce through.
Now, without further delay, here is my salute to the memory of Chris Cornell
Farewell, adieu, and say hello to heaven for us all.
