MS is messy

It's been over 2 months since I recorded a podcast but felt moved to share my struggles in the hopes that it might help others who are feeling sad, frustrated and scared. It's ok to have the occasional pity party which I have been doing for awhile now but I'm not ready to give up and neither should you. This too shall pass so hang on for better days.

After years of talking about our home's lack of accessibility. we finally decided to install an elevator as stairs have become too challenging for me to manage some days. This free standing lift designed by Stiltz is the answer we were looking for when we ultimately agreed that our home, community and friends are too important to us to leave. We realize that this expensive home modification is not feasible for most but after crunching the numbers, it's cheaper than pulling up roots and relocating to a single level home or at least one with a master on the main floor. I'm also excited that my aging Mom will find the elevator helpful as well when she comes to visit. Life is hard enough without having to struggle to get up the stairs in your own home so I'm extremely grateful for this modern marvel that will make my life easier in the end and to the end.
