I am reminded of a movie that inspires me to do the best I can and appreciate what I have while I still have it. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly tells the story of a man confined by an extreme disability who learned to escape from his prison using memories and imagination.

As my disability increases, I find myself focusing on the abilities I still have and the love around me. As long as I keep my positive attitude, memories, and a lively imagination, the world is my playground. I may as well have a good time.

There is no duty we so underrate as the duty to be happy.
By being happy we sow anonymous benefits on the world.
                                 ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Next I will talk about medication and clinical trials for Progressive MS.
