This is my first real post on my website. I have spent some time learning how to set all this up and I am starting to get the hang of it. So here goes.
Why write a blog ? Well I guess some of my background may help answer that. I was married for over 20 years and we have two daughters , all was well when my wife became ill and after 2 years she died of Breast Cancer. I had been diagnosed with MS some years earlier but I was very active and it didn’t seem to be a big problem. I used to run about 3 or 4 miles 3 times a week and ran the occasional half marathon. I used to play tennis, go hill walking. I was very active. However, about three years later I had a very bad relapse which left me unable to walk very well. So all my activities which I loved all stopped. I think that my bad relapse was linked to stress but I will never know.
Since then I have met someone new and we are married , we have a golden labrador . My wife is truly amazing about my MS . I used to feel quite dispirited with the frustration MS causes. Not to mention the pain etc. So this section is a bit brief but I want to talk about more uplifting stuff in my next post .
Why write a blog. Well , I think I need an outlet for all this stuff in my head which needs to be recorded. It will not all be about MS but I am afraid it’s quite a big part of my life now.
