Rantings

Beef for the day...  I have folks (very well-meaning) ask me several times a day how I'm doing? Am I ok? Are you sure you don't need me to do that. Really?  I have MS, I'm not carrying HIV or have cancer for goodness sakes. Yes, I talked about it WAY too much the first year. Nearly drove myself mad. Now, I try very hard to ignore it. Try to answer inquiries with "yes, I am doing fine" "doing pretty good, and you?" "Having many more good days than bad" Enough already...  I can't explain MS anymore than I can explain quantum physics! I can predict one hour at a time. That's it. Can't tell you what I will or won't do tomorrow, because I have to do what I CAN do each day. The future, and yes even tomorrow, is too far away for the ole MS hag to give me a heads up.  I can feel great one day and like s*** the next day. I would like to not feel judged, belittled, and snubbed during the bad days. . Stop being offended if I say something like "I will if I feel like it",  or "As long as I'm feeling good I will do xyz" I am not wanting sympathy, or understanding. I need you to trust me that the way I have to deal with each day, is ONE DAY AT A Time.  I do not have a lazy bone in my body. If I can't do today what I did yesterday, it doesn't mean I am lazy and just want to dump on my co-workers. Seriously? I'm too old for the junior high crap.  People who really know me, and knew me before I got this damn disease, know that it isn't in my nature to be a slacker. Grow up please, stop being a bitch, and be thankful for your health. You could lose it at any moment and be riding in my boat...
