Haha anyways, I am right in the middle of trying to find a way to get some of my passions back from MS but it is ANNOYING (well, frustrating) because every idea I come up with just does not do it for me... But I am too young to "give up", as tired of the fight as I may be, I know I have to keep pushing and it has become painfully obvious that trying to live without my passions? It has messed me up.

I've always wanted a racing wheelchair, but they are so darn expensive.<br />I too love my hand controls. Had them since '07. They make you a better driver as well because you can't drink, eat, text, talk, pick or scratch--you just drive!<br /><br />Best regards!My Odd Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663926437508133065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838498765761167784.post-26129061445922423132015-11-05T08:20:26.377-07:002015-11-05T08:20:26.377-07:00Oh, I know you well enough, Marina.

I'm leaving work the day after tomorrow because my role was made redundant and am planning to set up my own business. 'Bloody scary', as we'd say here in the UK, so very good to read a blog about stealing back the passion - that's what I want to do. I'm thinking of getting an electric bike - I'm still able to cycle but live at the top of a hill which is too much work in itself, so I don't do it.

Like you, I waited longer than I should have and fought it. In retrospect, that just meant wasting time fretting.

And passion to prove your stronger. I too comprehend the challenging fight MS makes us fight. For the last 15v years I've fought this fight, and as of the last 4 years I've fought the fight to drive.<br />It wasn't until a month and a half ago that I got my car adapted with hand controls that I realized that as long as I have the ability that I too need to steal my passion back.<br />So every thing I do I too elate over it and find pleasure in overcoming the stolen that MS attempts to do.<br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight!!!<br />~TanyaA Mom's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140627319217430036noreply@blogger.com
