I live in Atlanta and was on a business trip to Dallas . I would have never thought that waking up; putting my feet on the ground one Wednesday morning would have changed my life so much. I would like to say is thank you to my husband Brian, my rock that keeps me grounded. I could not have made it thru this without him by my side and support. To God for bringing Brian into my life 24 years ago, and to friends and family and my extended TM family that have stuck by me regardless of what this spinal cord disease has thrown at me. There are days that it seems like it’s been forever and I can not remember walking, running, riding a bike, ect and days that it seems like I just woke up and realized life as I knew it would never be the same. I still have days I mourn for the loss of the life style I had but at the same time blessed at how much appreciation for life has been given me. I know I am blessed that this disease did leave me one good leg that I can use a walker for short distances around the house, but need a wheel chair for distance/public use. By reading so many TM stories on this site I do not feel as alone with the pain, frustration, and just plain old bad days as I read other stories and puts my issues back in perspective. Thanks again to my TM family for always being there and sometimes that extra kick in the rear when the pity party starts! So a journey in life began, but the adventure continues Love and bless you all Kim/Atlanta TM T-10
