I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago


I've heard through the grapevine that I should be able to do a whole thanksgiving dinner since I'm still young. Well, I am just 45, but I've been dealing with MS, which is a chronic progressive disease. I may look like I'm someone who could do it, but I'm NOT!

I can barely walk 3 eighths of a mile before needing to rest for at least an hour.

I am still relatively young, but I'm not the person I was 20 years ago. If I stand in one place for too long, the muscles in my legs freeze in a way and forget how to walk.
