  • Forgot I had been here awhile ago

    I saw an email today from MS news today. When I opened this I see I had been here when I was age 70. I read a lot online and have joined a no. of MS sites and now at age 77, I forgot I had joined here 7 yrs ago.

    Basically in this time things are basically the same except I am older and maybe more withdrawn than I was. I also had cataract surgery -both- eyes which zi think in some ways has slowed down my lifestyle. I have hardly driven. My husband has had some health issues so had been retired and home. He does the driving and shopping.

    That brings me to eating. I have lost most of my sense of taste which contributes to lack of drop to cook meals. I lost taste and smell a few yrs ago but it returned imtil a frw months ago and now both are again compromised.

    I just finished a weekly MS physical exercise course with a local college aimed at helping MS patients to be more physically motivated. Supposedly it will resume in Feb. but may be too snowy for me and my husband may visit a couple children and grandchildren in warmer climates. I have had no desire to travel so I usually have stayed home. Just don’t know yet. I spend a lot of time sitting in bed online or on TV

    That is the situation where I am at this time.

    I was about to say welcome to the Forum, but since you’ve been here longer than I have, I guess it would really be the other way around. Regardless, we’re so glad you are here and look forward to talking to you more!
