How
to Thrive with this Disability
Episode 02 – I’m Afraid of the Dark

Bullshit and rambling have no place in this
recommendation, so I’ll be short and to the point.
Fumbling around in the dark, walking in a room
without lights, is a recipe for disaster. My balance issues take concentration
to overcome. There are three aspects to balance: visual (what you can see),
vestibular (the three fluid-failed canals of your inner ear), and
proprioceptive (movements and pressures on your body). I have one functioning
sensory input, what I can see.
I don’t attempt to walk around in the dark. If I
wake up in the middle of the night, there’s a light close to my bed. One
command, “Alexa, night light on,” and I can see. Every room in my house as a
light I can turn on using my voice.
In this day of insane technology, smart devices,
and AI-assistance, I use mine to turn the lights on. It has a few other values,
like controlling my music and cooking timers, but I speak to my Alexa device
countless times a day to turn the lights on and off.
Use technology to your advantage.
If you don’t want to invest in too much, here are
some low-cost ways to keep yourself safe:
Don’t let MS leave you in the dark…
This is one thing that helps 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!
