Ha! I Knew I'd Find You Here.


When we were kids, we'd watch the weird kung fu movies with the worst dubbing of English over the native language of the film. It seemed every movie had either the hero or the villain saying that line to his counterpart. 

In truth, I wasn't sure I'd really find you here seeing as it's been a while since I've been here.

I've been deliberating about resuming this blog, and a conversation I had yesterday pushed me into action. 

A quick recap of who I am and what led me here:

The Day My Life Officially Changed

When I really thought about why I started this blog, a few reasons came to mind instantly. Yes, initially it was to chronicle my journey through a clinical trial. We all know how that went. The reasons I continued writing, first, the selfish reason is that I really enjoy writing. The second, I thought maybe by sharing some of my experiences, someone might relate to them. Finally, I want to educate people about MS, life with MS, and what your loved one might be thinking but loves you too much to tell you. 

It's probably the easiest thing to do- to give up, stop fighting. To take the path of least resistance. If I'm honest, of course there were times that I wanted to stop trying. Not the BIG stop trying, just stop experimenting with treatments that made me feel worse than just having MS. I guess I am not the person who...wait- I KNOW I am not the person who backs down from a challenge. I just choose my battles a lot more selectively. 

So, for what it's worth, here I am. Again.
