Hi, Shawn --
>i have officially become a member about 10 hours ago ... teen kids and wife not taking it to well.
I have been following your posts, also, and am sorry you passed the screen.
>i already am looking at things a bit differently. amazing what the realization of your life ending does to your outlook
Not to be overly optimistic, but until you get a read on your own progression you cannot count on *anything* including being around to pay taxes and tuition! Everyone is different, some fast, some slow. I start a drug trial tomorrow (fingolimod) wi=hich has a 50% recurrence in MS -- who knows. My luck I will get the placebo
.
>i was still thinkin my life was only half over. appreciating every moment is all i can think of right now. even hugs have a different meaning.
Our motto around here is: "It is what it is."
>this sucks. sounds a little bi-polar huh? this might just take me a few to get a grasp on this whole thing. my kids are being robbed. my wife is being robbed. i'm being robbed
Well we have to play the cards we are dealt, but I am going to try to cheat if I can!
Seriously, I went nuts the first few months (still am some, but that is another story!). I would encourage you to dig around here some, share what is going on with you, let us learn from your experiences -- as far as I am concerned they more important to me than my own.
And, if you like dogs, go to my Facebook page and bore your kids with my dog shots
.
Kind regards,
Max
