The
commenter is one and the same as the famous other MS caregiver spouse who
dropped out of cyberspace almost 20 years ago in response to my first post to a
Prodigy Network MS Bulletin Board. … Those pre-dawn of the user- friendly Internet
could get beyond challenging. Yet out of that primal Internet we discovered we
were not alone.
Along
the way somewhere somehow I decided 350 words was the average speed a caregiver
reads in a minute. Caregivers searching for information IMHO simply do not have
the time to weigh through ‘War and Peace’ to get to what they are looking for.
Caping
my entry word counts at 350, I was pioneering the twitter concept of short
messages before anyone even dreamed of a tweet.
Submitting
blogs for MultipleSclerosis.net goes in a different direction, encouraging me
to write a higher word count. This in turn allows creativity and fuller stories.
While
probably I have told bits and pieces of our history when germane to an entry
but I guess I may never have told the whole story here in CY. Thank you
MultipleSclerosis.net for the opportunity to share "the rest of the story."

Once I figured out the link, I started reading your stories and what a treasure trove it is. The link though landed on the main page and I had to do a search of your name to find your stories. I look forward to reading them. Thanks. And it is nice to know your story.
