I had been looking forward to this summer ever since last summer when all the activities were spoiled by being too big and pregnant to fully enjoy them. I thought I’d have all the energy in the world and we would go do all kinds of things that I wasn’t able to do while I was pregnant. But at the moment, to be honest I still almost feel like I am pregnant! Allow me to explain before any of you jump to conclusions. I am not... I repeat, I am NOT pregnant. But in this past month I have been having medical issues that are almost just as confining. See, I have been diagnosed with MS for around 6 years now. The most trouble I ever really had so far with it is getting numb legs occasionally, plus random pains that are associated with the disease. But ever since I was first diagnosed I always had this worry in the back of my mind that I would end up in a wheel chair. Well anyway, I have never come so close as I have now.

My legs have been numb for over a month now and in the past couple of days my right leg has gotten very unstable, making it difficult to walk. I have been numb for this long before and made a full recovery, so I wasn’t too concerned until it began to impair my ability to walk normal. My husband and my father gave me a blessing at the onset of the numbness that I would be able to heal, and I recently got another blessing of comfort that also said I would be able to heal.

I want to be positive and have amazing faith that everything will be ok, but it’s hard. If anything, I have certainly learned to appreciate the everyday things like being able to walk, and go to the store and drive all by myself. You never really understand how good these things are until it’s taken away.

Anyway, the reason I am even posting about this is because it has been a bit of a struggle. I could use a few more prayers if you are able. I am sure I will be able to make a full recovery, I just need help keeping the faith!
Love you all!
