I’ve always been a “glass half full” type of person, I honestly believe in being optimistic and that attitude will always be the best. Earlier on in my life I thought that being realistic and keeping a plan B was better than ignoring what was obviously a strong possibility. But as I said, over the past twenty-ish years I think always seeing the positive and optimistic side has appealed to me more, so that’s who I am.
I think that my attitude, my always optimistic view probably frustrates others, I mean it’s obvious that I’m no better and probably worse than when I returned to England four years ago. But I don’t see it in a negative way, the neurologist that diagnosed me with MS in 04 told me that if I didn’t take the MS drugs, which I never have then I’d be in a wheelchair permanently within six months. I’m not in a wheelchair and apart from an hour a day at lunchtime I look after myself.
The disease is considered by the world’s medical experts to be incurable, I haven’t beaten it yet but I believe I will. At this time I’m fighting what appears to be a never ending battle, I’m on a freaking down escalator trying to walk up.
