Hi, there is not too many things I can do these days by myself. About the only thing I can do by myself is talk. me and my kids get a long great, we joke and laugh, but they are grown now and have left the family nest except for my youngest who is at the age where he knows everything and cannot wait to get a place of his own. I do cherish everything I have in my life, it's just that once in a great while I have a little "pity party" for myself. I do not reflect that on to my family because I do not want them feeling down just because I am. I cannot help thinking about the way life would be if I did not have this terrible disease. I am thankful for what I have and the people that I am surrounded by. Once in a while, which is not very frequent, I just have "down days". MS, I think, is not something you just come to accept, I think it is something that you have to adapt to, because I do not accept it, but I have learned to adapt to it. you asked about speech therapy. I do not know speech therapy. why would you ask? take care of yourself and I wish you much luck on your journey through life. It's just me.
