Excited to start blogging. Been thinking about doing this for a while. And what better moment to start than when you're on vacation ... lol.
Maybe it will be a way for my children to understand a little what their Mom went through. How hard it is not to join them in every walk. To sometimes say 'I'll just wait here, you go'. Meanwhile hating not looking at their faces when they see something for the first time.
Maybe it will be a way for my husband to understand why I stay back in every walk. I'm just slow, but it is ok to keep going, it's ok.
It might also be a way to keep my dear ones updated on how I'm feeling. I tend to always be ok, have a smile on my face. I don't like to whine or complain. Oh yeah ... and sometimes I may add or summarize the blog into Spanish for all my other half of people in Chile. How I miss them, all of them.
I have a plan. I'm going to kick this MS in the butt. Or at least try to. I don't want to compromise not being there for my children, or just half of me being there. I'll do my damn best to do more than that. I'm a fighter and I want them to know that.
For the potential followers (in case I have any ... lol) I'm married, have four children (9, 7, 5 and 3 at this time). I came to live in Canada in 2002 and loved it. I got used to the cold and the snow but really love the spring. Seeing every flower bloom is like a miracle every year.
I have been looking at different options to get better from this damn MS ... I have evaluated and tried lots of treatments. But the other day came across a big light of hope. A treatment that could not only halt the progress of my MS, but maybe I could get better. Heck if I could improve a 10% I'll take it.
Will keep you updated on this ... Last week I started the ball rolling.
For now, have to continue this vacation and I know my little ones will love it. We're going to Disneyworld tomorrow. Everyone is so excited. All I can think right now though is ... Just survive this, please legs, make it for a few more days.
Anyway, I want this blog to be a story of healing, of my healing. I know I'm not alone in this, there's many more and I hope to help them reading about my journey.
Now a little message for my family and friends in Spanish.
A mi familia y amigos queridos.
Algunos saben, otros no. En Febrero del 2012 me diagnosticaron Esclerosis Multiple. El primer año fue dificil aceptarlo, ahora solo quiero mejorarme. Este blog les contara la historia de mi recuperacion. Los quiero siempre.
