So I trek through the day, days, God forbid...but he does, weeks going through internal, invisible torture. I do not like feeling at mercy to my body. But at times I am. When I think “walk,” my legs fall under me causing me bruises on my legs and thighs that have become my “new normal.”
Since January 1, I’ve been in MS hell.
Along with MS fatigued to celebrate the new year I sustained second and third-degree burns to my left leg due to the lovely symptom of MS fatigue. At his point, a month later with four-inch deep busing, nerve damage and the ugly scarring that may ensue, I’m just in one of those moments of “f—- it all.”
If you could only understand…
“What disability?!”
I find it insultingly hilarious that little did Ms. Attendant know this week has been fire and brimstone for my lower back, legs, and nerves. A relapse that started Sunday has continued its teeth-gritting pain on my lower back and legs, and for that small run to the tax collector’s office, I planned to muster up courage and walk in without a cane not be judged by a disease, a disability you can’t see.
