Today is the day: my first appointment with Tufts’ Neurology Department.

I am nervous.  And a little hopeful.  Will they get me started on disease modifying meds today?  Will there be any good news?  Bad news?

Information is power, but it can also be depressing.  I am getting used to my weak and throbbing leg.  I am not looking forward to learning about worsening symptoms.  But I am ready to fight.  To do whatever I can to slow – or stop – the progression.  I need to stay mobile.  To provide my children with the childhood they deserve.

I am nervous.  And a little hopeful.
