I was also diagnosed at 46. I went to a board meeting for the non- profit of which I was director and let them know about this turn of events. I spent the rest of the evening having 9 people walk around me talking as if I was dead already. I wanted to spit in everyone's eye. I know I cannot drive 1200miles to just have fun with the kids. I know I cannot play softball for hours with friends. I know I walk slowly and watch my every step to keep from falling down. I understand that my hands shake and I cannot tie bows for the girls anymore. BUT, I am still alive! I can still think! I still feel all the same emotions! If businesses and people can make so many accommodations for people in wheelchairs,or blind people, or deaf people, why can't they make room for me? Enough griping. Anyone else out there into genealogy??Boy did I make a find this week. I have not proved I am descended from both an American Revolutionary War Hero and from a genuine British hero/spy from the same war. I can now join both the Empire Loyalists and the DAR, if I want to. Ha Ha Which side do I really want to be on?????
