It feels like the fastest year of my life, yet in the same breath, like I've aged 20 years.
One year ago, almost to the moment I am writing this, my world changed.
The rest of my life changed.
I walked into that Neurologist's office, expecting my brain MRI to be normal; that my symptoms would continue to be undiagnosed. Then that fateful moment happened. Alone, I sat in the examining room, with the MRI images already up on the computer monitor. I saw the images. And I knew. I knew without a doubt.
And here we are, a year later. Some days I still can't fully explain how all this feels. Whether I am still saddened by it, or have passed fully into acceptance. Or maybe my real fight has yet to come.
It has been a battle like none I have experienced before. Yet, it has also been an incredible journey of self discovery and increased self awareness.
So, today, I will enjoy the last few days of holidays with my family.
I'm still fighting, MS...
