Playing Baseball with MS and Wanting Stem Cells




Baseball season is in full swing and I once was on a team from my job with the City of Seattle. That's me swinging the bat. I hated baseball. Never was any good at it.


My diagnosis of MS was about a year away in these photos. I remember one of my team mates shouting, "Faster! Faster!" as I ran around the bases. I could feel my legs saying, "Uh-uh, sorry."


It was a hot day. Twenty plus years later I hear a voice shouting, "Faster!" but, my body keeps responding slower.


Stem cells show great success with the human heart. Waiting for my nerve, myelin, stem cells...faster, faster.
