I remember in the early days of the paralysis that I went through, things were frightening and tough and unknown. I didn't know what was happening to me and no one could explain it to me. All I knew was that my body was failing me in ways I could not comprehend or imagine.
I remember that one day of hearing bad news in particular when the doctors breathed the words to me that I had MS (Multiple Sclerosis). It was a time when there was no internet to search and so information was hard to come by explaining what this was. However, I knew enough that the news wasn't good.
In those moments after hearing this news, I was in shock and utter disbelief. Actually, I wasn't even sure how to feel or what to think in these moments that followed. There is no way for the human mind to comprehend what has been told to you when it is horrible news about your health. There is no way for the mind to fully understand what lies ahead.
