Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi Welcome back you love computers when they work good for but when they break down or get a virus if you are like me my foot comes in handy. Ha Ha Do you use a wheelchair all the time or is it a temporary thing? Are you able to get out of the home to do things with your MS troubles? Bill Re-re-introduc tion? Hi everyone, hope all having good day.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 > Hi > Welcome back you love computers when they work good for but when _______________________________________________________________ Hi " Bill " : I use a power wheelchair since 1996 and get out quite often since the town where I live is a 70% accessible thanks to the efforts of many handicapped people living here. Bill, my MS turned " nasty " in 1996 couldn't move for about 3 weeks until finally the exacerbation relented its course and in reality, never left. I drive very little with hand controls, had 3 or 4 attacks of ON leaving my eyes affected by the lights of the incoming traffic. I go to NYC,Manhattan to be more specific, have the PATH trains plus the many ferries uniting Hoboken with downtown Manhhatan and mid-town. My quality of life is good, very supportive wife and grown up children sometimes I have to ask for some " space to breath " lol! but I guess that beats the antithesis, right? We have 3 children, Emmanuel is a lawyer, is an architect and is living now for about 5 years in Paris and our daugther is an Assistant Principal in Brooklyn NY, guess is a school for children with emotional/physical problems. Myself I was a teacher for 31 years until the MonSter forced me to retire. Sorry I have taken so much time, thanks for welcoming me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 That is good your town does work well with handicapped people because I know many probably do not. The town I live in I can not make use the movie theater because it is not handicapped accessible. I use a walker to get around and I also have a hand control on both my truck and also van. I am glad they make hand controls because I love to drive. I am still new to MS since Aug of 99 when your MS went from being Relapsing-Remitting to Progressive how could you tell the difference or did your doctor tell you were now in a progressive mode? Here is my personal web page about my own MS.

The town I live in I can not ___________________________________________________________ I'll visit you site in a while. Yes you are right there are towns/cities that don't want handicapped people to me mobile, u should be in the closet and with the lights off. I had to really fight with the city in order to make the library accessible. I had a tremendously big exacerbation (worsening of symptoms)you should consider that not 2 cases are the same nor the manifestations at times reflect in any way. Continue doing what u r doing and keep a positive approach, I know I do, I am 62 years old and plan to be around for a while longer. I met a fellow 89 years old that had MS since he was 35 years of age, if he didn't say it you would never find out, that's the excellent shape he was! On the other hand I know a 21 year old man that's gone blind within 1 month of dx'd. So, like I said, be positive and continue living!
