Reply to Ashley

Hi Ashley,
It is so different for everyone with MS. Some can walk, others can't.
Wheelchairs, canes, and walkers come into play. Personally, I walk around the
house without assistance. If I go out the door, I wear a brace and use a cane.
When we go to functions with a lot of walking, I use a power scooter. I have no
use of my left arm, and very limited use of my left leg. I do all the housework,
cook, home school, work out at a gym, and volunteer at church in ministry. Might
sound like a lot, but I've figured out how to do things differently, and some
gadgets that help. I also know my limits. I need someone to tie my shoes! I
still drive, so that keeps me busy. Things can take longer, like getting
dressed. If I need it, I ask for help from my family. I try to focus on what I
can do, not so much on what I can't. If you need to contact me, you can post
here again.
