It’s pretty sad. I wish her the best. It’s hard to be forced out of doing what you love because of something like this. With MS, one never knows what tomorrow will bring.
In 2013, I had MS, but I could walk and all. Well, we went to a “family camp” for a week with my wife’s large family. I went to bed that first night, and when I woke up the next morning I couldn’t walk. My wife and I drove to a nearby big city and bought my first wheelchair. And I haven’t walked since.
With MS, you just never know what tomorrow will bring! So you live today to its fullest. It’s like a very elderly person–you don’t buy many green bananas…
I don’t know what’s in the water at the courthouse, but 3 of us psychologists who worked as court-appointed experts got MS. And one attorney. But one of those guys wrote this book. And it is good. But the truth is almost everybody has some sort of “mountain to climb.”
I know a guy with MS who can walk, but says he always uses a cane. He quipped that if you use a cane, people open doors for you, but if you don’t they just think you are a wino.
And I am very sorry to hear that Janice Dean has had to stop her job because of MS. That’s hard…
Someday years from now, history may look at this time period and try to identify a handful of issues that defined this era. No doubt the COVID-19 fiasco will be one of them. That’s a big issue, and one where the good guys had a reliable ally in Janice Dean.
