Cane, walker, scooter, wheel chair, power chair. The mobility aids those with MS will likely have to choose. We name them, hate them, love them, need them, but we can not look away.
My first wooden cane was purchased in part to be able to show the world I had a disability. I found myself freezing up, mid stride, when walking across a busy three lane downtown Seattle street. It was dangerous. My legs would just stop moving and there I stood staring at cars coming towards me. I looked fine. I would just move aside any minute...only I knew the truth.
I debated buying a flag, but settled on a cane. A folded cane was always in my bag when I went out into the world, even if my legs felt fine, because I never knew when MS would attack me.
I have never heard of people with MS freezing up like that. No neurologist ever prepared me for the deep freeze. I am secondary progressive now and those scary things don't affect me as much, maybe because I can't get out as much, or walk...I wonder...would I still freeze occasionally?
