Now that I know....

I thought she was going to say they didn't find anything wrong.
I thought the Evoked Potentials Test would come up clean and clear.
I was sure.

I was wrong.

Damaged nerves. Deterioration.
The ugly diagnosis emerges from the fog where it has been lurking and fills my horizon.
She speaks the words: Softly now : M.S
{Those two letters lend themselves to whispering very well}

I have the same body I did yesterday, but I have significantly more information than I possessed a short 24 hours ago.I have discovered, much to my surprise, that information weighs a lot.
I feel like I have been binge eating.
I don't dare step on the scale.

Did you know that a mind can race and crawl at the same time ?
It is one of my latest discoveries.

I am sure there are more to come.
