..

.. I have the sweetest husband, his name is Terry. We have 3 awesome kids- Lucy 3 years, Ford 18 months, and Cooper, who was just born in March. We currently are in Minneapolis, but we are very anxious to leave Minnesota! I am a hairstylist, I have been doing that now for 8 years. I love doing hair! I love all of my clients! I am taking a break from working right now since I just had baby Cooper. I have just recently learned that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I suspect that I have been dealing with its symptoms for about 3 years. Just recently I have been struggling with new symptoms- blindness in one eye, spots in my vision all the time, a sluggish left leg, tingling hands, numb face...and these are my everyday symptoms. It has forced me to look at life a lot differently. I am more PRESENT in what is going on right now, instead of what might happen in the future.

new tool

Okay- physical therapy is proving to be helpful. They gave me a neat little device that prevents my foot from dropping while I am walking or going up and down the stairs. I heard someone say recently,...
