Like I said...

Right time, right place. We met with a neurologist up here on Wednesday. We spent around two hours in his office. He was very thorough in his evaluation, both of me physically and of my thick binder of health history and test results. His determination was that I'm dealing with MS. There are some things that can't be explained like how my body loves being in hot water when others with MS can't handle hot water. When he was telling me it has to be MS, a lightbulb went on for me. I felt to be at a place of acceptance. Hearing this diagnosis from the best of the best made the words really resonate with me. I wasn't angry or distraught. At that moment, I felt like I was given the keys to live again, to not to let my disability keep me down, but to really enjoy all life has to offer. So seeing as we were down early up here, Emily and I decided to take a few days for a vacation. We will head home on Sunday and start to face each day with vigor. Thanks for all of the prayers and support during our trip up to Mayo.
