Life lessons are hard. Everyone enduring multiple sclerosis
gets it. We pretty much become experts in something we never wanted to learn. I
guess that’s true with any chronic medical condition. We do the homework with
enthusiasm, because it’s personal. We read and study and watch. We draw up
lists of questions to ask our physicians during our appointments. We take lots
of notes.
Yes, MS is
educational.
Sure, the initial diagnosis tends to send us for a whirl.
Eventually, however, the initial shock usually grows into coping. We start
exploring the ins and outs of the condition with which we’ve been tagged. We
examine medical findings. We explore treatment options. We experiment with diet
and lifestyle changes to exist more efficiently, even when the evil MS MonSter
attacks.
Before too long, we can almost quote chapter and verse on
the thing. We even try to explain MS to those who don’t have it – or even get
it. Educational, yes. Enjoyable, not so much.

We much prefer when educational things are enjoyable, but that isn't always the case, in those times we often wish those times weren't so educational, but the benefits of being open to that education is so worthwhile. I am thinking next time I am in NYC, I may have to take a side trip to Bein Cuit, the bread looks amazing.
