i want to start by saying i have a lot to be grateful for. And some days are better than others. Today i forgot to take my ampyra/dalfampridine until the afternoon so i was stiff like a board in the morning. so here i am trying to find the good in life. Feel free to share what you're grateful for.
Here goes my list: i felt very appreciative of the medicine that worked later on to help me walk and helped my fingers play piano and type. I am grateful for physical therapy, medicines, the ability to exercise and do yoga from home, bladder support, my friends, a program of recovery and a very peaceful, zero stress home. i am in the process of getting a scooter to maintain my independence and considering getting my car adapted so i can drive a little longer. i can work from home and financially support myself. Zoom, Amazon and groceries that can be delivered .

First of all thank you for the reminder that I have a lot to be grateful for. I am grateful for you personally and the rest of this forum, my family, my house and farm, and I am especially grateful for the 32 years of married life to my dear departed husband. Also I am grateful for my faith, as that is where I get my strength, hope and love. Thanks Sandy, peace to you and yours. 🤗💜
silly, but your post reminded me how grateful I am after almost 3 years, to do my own grocery shopping (masked, before the crowds) and pick out fresh produce.
Grateful to my husband, my protector, my personal Uber, my confidant, and my own stand up comedian.
Grateful that I am still connected and close with my brothers after my parents died
thanks Miss E, for the reminder about people who show up for us. It's not my husband (we are recently separated at my request) but i do have friends who drive me places, keep me company, and share my life. I'm also grateful i can be emotionally available to my sister who has a much worse case of MS than i do.
Amazing you, you rock! I'm grateful for life. Just that simple - after being in the hospital for Kidney Stones that began toxic (who knew that could happen) grateful for every moment with grandchildren rain sunshine, with hubby everything! Continued good heath to you my friend and blessings.
thanks NeeC for your response. it's too easy to forget the little things like sunshine, rain even air conditioning when it's hot and a heater when it's cold. Glad to hear your kidney stones are in the rear view mirror.
Since my brain has been fried all week, I'll just copy from the rest of you. I'm grateful for a son who's willing to run errands when I don't feel like leaving the house, a mother who's still pretty healthy, and a daughter who is finally regaining her sense of humor.
I was 38 before I ever had air conditioning of any kind, and I don't know how I lived without it all those years! I now have whole-house air conditioning, and it saves me a lot of pain and disability all summer long.
I'm also grateful to the cousins who gave me a wheelchair ramp and the uncle who installed it in spite of his own health problems. As soon as it warms up a little more, that wheelchair is going to get me outside a lot more often!
thanks for responding and reminding me of other things i can be grateful for. My sister gave me an old wheel chair in case i need it in the future. i have an adult son who is understanding about my limitations.
I’m very happy you have so much to be grateful for! l only have my daughter and cat. Besides faith. My life is in serious termoil right now. Ask me next year 😂
what a lovely post! I agree it’s helpful to sit back and consider the good things. I can’t stand the way MS has affected me and my life, but I am very grateful for all the ways that it has not affected my life. I’m grateful for my two daughters, my significant other who is patient and caring, and for my job (it’s been a pretty good one for its flexibility in relation to my health and also in relation to raising my daughters). I am grateful I found this site a few years ago. The list could go on, especially now that I’m considering everything in my life that I should be and am grateful for.
thanks Elizt3 i am so grateful that before the pandemic my situation changed so that i could move my work from office to home. Of course( i forgot to mention) how grateful i am for this group. You don't know how much of an impact you have on me. I feel connected, like I belong somewhere. I have people who understand when I say my fingers don't work or that i fell last night because a shower exhausted my spoons. thank you all for being here.
I am grateful for God to allow me to see another day and my husband who has stuck by me when I could move around and now more since I can't with MS. i am very grateful. Keep moving and being thankful.
