I used to be an active person. Playing volleyball, walking, riding my bike. I even bought a thing on TV called "The Bean" which was basically, well, a huge, blow-up bean-shaped ball to do crunches on. These days, that is the only thing I feel I am capable of, if, that is, I can get it from the basement where it sits and collects dust.

My legs are the reason I had to get a disabled parking permit. They are my biggest gripe these days, even though I take two meds to help relieve some of the spasticity and pain. I am a kindergarten teacher with 23 students. When we go to lunch across the building, I start out leading, and end up at the caboose. Legs are something I will never take for granted again.

If you happen to have thigh trouble like I do, take my advice: Do not by "The Bean", unless you need an inflatable foot rest. Do take every opportunity to stretch those muscles, kick your feet up, and get plenty of rest. And take advantage of the meds that are out there. Cut back on sugar---that might help. Oh, there is my husband calling me to come take my MS shot and go to bed. Bye for now and keep moving for a little while longer and then nighty night!
