"Everyone will one day know or love someone who can no longer take care of themselves." That quote from Maggie Strong's book MAINSTAY has been somewhat of a mantra for the 18 years we've lived with Multiple Sclerosis. Everything we live is simultaneously about just us and now and yet at the same time about someone else at some other time. This new world of journals or blogs or whatever seems worth a try.

Why share?
Why share? I hope to make my daily life easier. One hat you wear as a spouse/caregivier is "designated medical information press agent"; and this way I only have to share once a day. In a larger view, most people will have to walk this path eventually. Why buy some book, feel free to peek in.
