On any given day, I’m thankful that the MS that I’ve had (or had been diagnosed with) since 2002 doesn’t impact me in any dramatic way.
I work full-time, albeit flexibly, thanks to medical accommodation
and an understanding employer.
But on days like these with temps in the upper 90s,
ironically International Self-Care Day and National Tequila Day, even doing the smallest task
warrants a post task 30-minute rest with feet up and something cold
to drink.
Today, I dared cleaning the outside of our stainless-steel appliances….inside…with air conditioning on…but still ended up sweating, hair damp and curling (even more than usual)…wiped out.
MS has taught me that that I can’t always do everything I want to
do to the extent I used to, but I can do most things, by downsizing my goal and
planning downtime after each task.
Stay cool my MS Warriors out there.
