One year ago I was hospitalized with suspected stroke or a brain tumor. MRI instead showed my symptoms where from MS and I was having a serious relapse. In the months that followed as I slowly began to recover I often wondered how I would be in a year.
A year later I am doing so much better, my husband and closest friends threw me a surprise party to celebrate. My good friend made me a voodoo MS doll to stick when MS is getting the best of me. It was so funny and thoughtful.
When I left the hospital one year ago I asked my doctor if I should cancel some upcoming family vacations I had planned. He said I had two choices. I could sit at home and feel sorry for myself or I could get up everyday and do what I could that day. I have chosen to get up and do what I can everyday. Some days that's a lot and somedays it's not much at all.
I am still at the beginning of my MS journey but I have such an appreciate for my life and what I can do today because I know tomorrow could be a different story.
