Yes, I really can walk backwards

G'day ms family. Did YOU understand my walking backward story? No, it was not me talking about really silly stuff I do, it was about potential. The potential to still do, despite my 20+ years with ms. I assure YOU that I am not special. merely pedantic, pragmatic and a little determined not to always give up. This determination lies within YOU as well. I do not want to know what You can not do but what YOU CAN do. If you face an obstacle find a way around it. Always move forward no matter what it takes, no matter far outside your comfort zone it might be.

The medicine that we take often involves multiple injections with no promise of a cure. but each day we relax for the needle, your version of walking backwards. I keep saying it but do YOU see that the potential is in YOU? Git your teeth and remember RRms does not have to be your master, YOU are NOT its slave. YOU can and should be as much as YOU can, be master of your journey along the RRms path.

Tell me what YOU can do.

Hi Royce

What I didn't understand was - what's BIG about December 1st?

And why do YOU always capitalise YOU (but not YOUrself)? I guess YOU explained it a long time ago, but YOU write so many posts it's lost in the mists of time.

p.s. You did ask what we can do - I understood that you really do walk backwards but the point of telling us was to encourage us to set and work towards goals even if they seem daft.

I walk well, and bike . After bike in the morning, the lunch. And after the afternoon at home, sleeping and resting . Je je It is better to rest at home in the afternoon and evening , after sport.

does this mean that if we try hard enough, that determination can erase the effects of MS? I think " walking backwards " is a way of saying YOU think YOU walk on water. YOU are quite the mental petri dish.

I'm just glad to see you are all still here and fighting! I haven't been on here in a long time. Good to see your names in print! I'm on Kesimpta now, still upright. and fighting to go forwards, rather than backwards! Some days I can walk a half mile around my circle driveway, others up to a mile. A few days ago, I had my MS "hug" around my head, like a band tied around my head above my ears, but PTL it went away by the next day. So, I'm doing very well. Hope you all stay well and happy through the holiday season. Have a blessed day!

I walk backwards on our ramp cuz it's easier than going forward, especially if I'm pulling my wagon of groceries up to the front door.😀
