It's amazing how different people react to changes (good or bad). I was always taught (from military school) change happening is part of life and how you react speaks to your character. That is one of life's given's. You can be a mean or bad person and react good, or maybe a good person with a questionable reaction. It's affected me only a few times in my career or life time. My wife always said that I was a flat line, never to down and never too excited.

 

I once had a vendor that would over bill me for his time every job he did. Another friend would tell me that, "the vendor just goes to church each Sunday and ask for forgiveness, then starts each week with a clean slate. He does that each week and has no guilt feelings”.

 

The change my family has experienced is traumatic to say the least. My wife has been "Boston Strong" (she is from Boston) and my daughter is busy going through her teen years and remains focused on school and growing up.

 

The important decisions now are not about "how much money is coming our way from wills" or "when does SSDI kick in?" but ”when will I be forced into a wheelchair and not be able to drive or will I be able to work again and when?"

 

After a while, these events seem minimal.

 

I guess the question is, if the MS ever gets fixed or cured, will I be a different person? I'm sure that I will be the same person that MS has turned me into.  Blame it on MS, if I have too?
