Giving up is not quite my style----

----I guess y'all have figured that out by now. I am a tenacious fool and generally carry my argument to the nth degree.
I mentioned in a previous post about my stool and how it liberates me within my house without taking up too much space. A wheelchair would be too cumbersome in this small space.

Wheelchair Kamikaze is another MS patient who writes a blog. He is high on facts and treatments and all things MS. He is a phenomenal writer. His latest post is about having to have his wheelchair in his house and not just using it on outings.
He is sooooooo eloquent and describes feelings superbly. No doubt he expresses how we all must feel.

I have to reconcile myself that my legs are not going to function even in a perfunctory way. That is damn hard to swallow!
I can make light of my use of a five legged stool all I want, however, the harsh reality is, I am going to end up not being able to walk at all!

I must, for my own sake, reconcile myself to this development. I have managed, up to now to accept all of the things MS has hurled at me. But boy, this one is a beaut!
I have to get over the notion that I am giving up if I admit to this latest setback.
However, now is not the time to be in denial. It is only the progression of the disease. Nothing more, nothing less.
