The phrase, "in the blink of an eye" has new meaning for me. Last Saturday I woke up completely normal. Over the course of the morning that quickly changed. As I was standing at the kitchen island enjoying the morning time with my children I began to feel different. I was dizzy, light headed, nauseous,had difficulty standing and even further difficulty walking. I also noticed a pain in my eyes and my vision blurred and greyed. Huh? This was new. Vision problems were what other people with MS had suffered from. not me. I was the parathesia, bladder and tremor patient.
Saturday I learned that my life can change in a blink of an eye becaue of this disease. I was forced to take different turns. I did not want to lay in bed and wait for this relapse to pass. I had plans, a weekend to enjoy. Instead I laid in bed angry at this disease. I tried not to stress, not obsess over every twinge.
I called the doctors, nurses, I leaned on my friends and husband for support.....and in the end I made it through the relapse.
My vision still isnt 100%, but its close and its continuing to improve. I am learning that my goals, dreams and priorities are going to take some paths I hadnt planned. I have also been reminded that I need to remember and focus on all the good, be thankful for the wonderful things in my life.
Because everything can change.......in the blink of an eye.
