I remember when
I remember when I was a little boy growing up in Rochester, Minnesota. A commercial on TV (this was the 60′s) showed people in wheelchairs with the tag line, “MS, the crippler of young adults”. I don’t think that tag line would work well these days in our politically correct world but back then it was OK. I myself was diagnosed at the age of 33. It’s ironic that I now have the disease and I can still remember that commercial 40 years ago.
MS is a very humbling disease. When a man has to buy his first pair of Depends underwear at the age of 47 you are HUMBLED! Believe me your ARE humbled. My friend Eric was going into Fargo one day and I asked him to pick me up a bag of Depends just to see what he would say. He’s 39, laughed, and said “no thanks, I can’t do that! I gave him some grief and then laughed with him. When your 4-year old can run faster than you you’re humbled.
