00 – Thinking out Loud
Watch my video: https://youtu.be/a83O_Nym99Q
Think of a time when you were doing one of the
thousands of mundane tasks that get you through the day. Walking to check the
mail. Writing an email. How about just getting out of bed in the middle of the
night to go to the bathroom? Performing these tasks can be so routine that half
the time you’re probably thinking about something else, just letting your mind
drift away. Describing how you do them would probably qualify as the most
monumentally boring part of any conversation.
There’s no such concept as monumentally boring
when I do anything. With multiple sclerosis, if a task is not difficult to
impossible, it is painful. If it doesn’t hurt now, I’m walking a razor’s edge
on further injury to myself, someone else, or causing a whole crap load of
damage.
Nevertheless, I continue to live. Some days, I
even thrive. Like the old saying goes: Never
Stop… Never Quit…!
After bike MS this year, when I was sending out
my fundraising after action report emails, a longtime friend offered one of the
greatest compliments. “I don’t know how you do it, KB.”
I get that on occasion. Sometimes, it’s a compliment
(“I don’t know how you do it! That’s awesome!”). Other times, it’s a question
(“I don’t know how you do it. Can you show me?”).
Living with a disability is a constant game of
trying to trick the system to give me a bit of advantage. Take some time to
share a few of my favorites with you. Helpful hints, useful gadgets, crafty
tricks, they’ll come in all shapes and sizes. Whether obvious or crafty, these
are the things that help me make it through the day with a smile on my face (as
opposed to a frustrated, injured scowl).
I will write up a little blog post like this and
recorded video to demonstrate.
Questions about something you want me to discuss?
Recommendations or ideas for a new post? Drop me a DM on my social media or
leave a comment.
These are things that help me live and get
through this so I can celebrate the miracle of countless tomorrows. I want you
to be there with me as well. We are in this fight together!
Because it is a fight.
The fight is not over and it won’t be over until a cure is found.
It will never stop…nor will we
It will never quit…nor will we
This is why we fight!
