I am curious, what's the most drastic measure you've had to take because of MS? At first, for me it was having to quit working. I am a people person and now I feel like a recluse! I do try to make myself get outside everyday.
The next thing was driving. I have always loved to just take off on road trips spontaneously! I've zig zagged all across the United States but now I hardly ever drive because my car is a stick shift and I don't have the strength on my right side. It sucks!!
Now I may have to sell my car. It hasn't been driven in over a year and I need a manual wheel chair. Its going to cost more than what I can sell my car for, $1900. for the car and $1000. for my car. It's a '91 Mazda Miata Convertible. I really don't want to, it was a gift from my husband, but after being able to use a custom chair at the Abilities Expo for a few hours, I realized why I am always hurting and totally exhausted from the one my insurance paid for for me.
I'm going to see about getting one of our local restaurants to possible do a fundraiser to help me raise the $ for the chair so I can keep my car. Keep me in your prayers please!
