Good Saturday morning my beloved ms family. Today is tea day, Tomorrow Coffee again, it is a beautiful day. The weather is nice and sunny, a little cold for my liking, but I am a shorts and t-shirt type of a bloke. How is the weather where "YOU" are? Are "YOU" set and ready for another rotation and a bit more of movement on our trip around our star? Think about that for a moment. "YOU" and I are on a rock spinning, hurtling threw nothingness surrounding a huge nuclear explosion. Makes me at least ponder a little about the significance of everything. Think beyond ME. We all have an unknown illness, a breakdown in our system (body). It can make me do very strange things, it can do the same to "YOU" I would suppose that if "YOU" do not understand everything that is going on in your body, how can somebody else?
Having said that why do I or "YOU" have a little bit of patience with others in our family. We ask the same of others. We say similar things because others may need to hear it or for whatever reason are afraid to ask. Personally, I never needed to know about protective underwear until my bladder started misbehaving. Now I will shout from the rooftops that people with ms might want to consider them one day. Maybe not a first, but one day. There is a lot"YOU" will pick up along your ms journey. Things to just store in your ms treasure vault for that one day, just in case.
Everybody is going through this journey at their own pace and their own way. I have a Mother who left everything for my well being. For that I will be forever grateful, sacrifices were made for me. Do "YOU" have the same support? Are "YOU" that supportive? Are "YOU that appreciative? Do "YOU" understand what we are and what we are going through? Every day we travel a little further on our trip around our star. It is great to be alive. To enjoy others, to learn and accept ourselves.
ms is a major disruption in our lives. BUT "YOU" do not have to let it twist the "YOU hat is "YOU". Step back, look at things a little more deeply. Do not rush to judgement, appreciate what "YOU" have, what "YOU" are. A little bit of Multi strand DNA, on a trip around this star. Of course a resilient, tough, brave, strand.
Take your time, "YOU" can do this ms life.
Royce (your ms writer and Brother)
