at my sons football game. We both had on our cooling neck devices, and she had on a cooling vest, was in a scooter and had a very large brace on her leg. We were both in the shade. We looked at one another for some time, it was apparent we "shared" some similarity's due to exact same neck cooling device.
So, I started the conversation. It ended up, of course, and MS conversation. She has had MS for 35 years. Did well until about 15 years ago. She has many unfortunate issues, speech, swallowing, urination problems etc.
Anyway, we had a nice conversation and it was wonderful to meet someone with MS, on the outside world and both of us being able to talk so easily about such "not easy" things. Even her husband got in the mix. It was just a good talk, almost like being in a support group a bit.
Just wanted to share this, and by the way, I missed the whole football game! So did she, and it was all worth it.
