Danny’s World: MS Can’t Hold Me Down-Obstacles Are Designed To Be Overcome

I know a lot of my readers suffer from chronic pain and I try to be an example of how to fight back. Today I went for a quick walk. I didn’t want to and my body yelled at me every step of the way, but I know I have to do it. I look at exercise like this…if I don’t force my body to move, then MS wins. I know a lot of you don’t exercise because you have told me so. You have said it hurts too bad. You have said you are too tired. I get it.

I almost had to call Evelina to come and get me, but I didn’t. I willed myself to finish what I started because in the long run it will benefit me more than sitting around doing nothing. Do you think I want to? No, I would rather sit and do nothing.

To those who tell me they cannot I would challenge you to begin thinking about what you can do instead of what you cannot do. If you can only walk to the end of the driveway then do so. If you can do arm lifts from your chair, then do so. If you can swim in the pool, then do so. Do what you can do, but don’t settle for doing nothing.

And it begins by putting one foot in front of the other.

You have an honest logical way of being. I raise a glass half full to you.
