In reply to Meg. I needed to read your story. I've done some falling lately. My husband says I don't pick up my feet. Sometimes my feet feel tangled. My balance isn't good all the time. Sometimes I trip over air. Thank you for your story.

Sandra,
I don’t know how old your kids are and we each have our own stories and decisions to make. For me I quickly decided that I wanted to be open about my MS since it was apparent something was wrong (falls, naps, dr appointments) and didn’t want to leave it to them to think the worst.
I am glad that my Christmas tale may have helped you even in some small way:)

Oh my goodness…as a newly diagnosed ms’er I have not yet told my kiddos and had no plans of telling them anytime soon. Your story made it seem ok and maybe they would come through the news ok. Thanks for sharing.

I’d say you’re one heck of a super melty-momma…with plenty of (dare I say it?) flying monkey devotees at your side.

Too, too sweet, lady.
peace

Love this story! Much laughter and a great attitude not only make having MS bearable for oneself but for those that love us. Children growing up in a loving home with a disabled family member learn compassion, understanding and appreciation for some of the simple things in life. They experience and know that a small kindness toward someone can mean so much. I agree with you that many of our unfortunate experiences can be the base of a humorous story. I’ve done the cane, Walker and currently spend my day on my little red scooter… Many funny stories for each! We live with falls and frustrations but all are easier with laughter! Happy holidays to all of you??

In reply to heatherhockingHeather. Thanks so much for sharing Heather! As kids grow up and begin scattering I know I will miss them but do love that I have memories like this one:)
