I have a new program that will type as you speak. I have at times, trouble with typing. It wears on my arms and sometimes I can't focus well enough to use the keys. Most of you don't know, but the MS HAS progressed more than what I am telling you. I tell you now because I'm tired of trying to "hide" my disability so that I "fit" in more. I don't want to be different but there is no way of "hiding" it anymore or trying to be someone else than who I am.
It doesn't mean I was "fake" before, but I would concentrate on walking "normal" or trying to stand for longer than I am able. Today in class, I nearly went down because of the heat in the kitchen. So, I am always on the look out for better things to help me.
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, please. God allowed this to happen for a reason. I am up to the task, but it isn't easy to hide what the MS has done to me now. Always know one thing, I'm a fighter and always will!

If you can find things that make your life easier, I think that is great. People have to accept you how you are and still be there. Don't feel for a second that you have overextend yourself. Take care of you. ((Hugs))
