I gave in today

[lisa1014]

I set up my shower seat this morning. I feel like I am giving in to this now. My legs are sooo sore and stiff in the morning and I slip in the shower but have always caught myself on the wall before I completely fall.

I am worried what my husband will say when he sees it. He doesn't understand the MS stuff and just thinks things should be mind over matter and they can be fought through.

I know I have to do what is best for me and he will just have to get used to it. I just think if I use the shower seat then I can use the energy I save to get my kids ready for school in the morning.

No need to feel that you are giving up. It is important to find things that will save our energy - we only have so much to give. And it also sounds like you need it for a safety issue - better using a stool than breaking a bone.

Take the seat out when you are done and set it aside.
Just tell your husband it's so you will have more energy for the children.
