Hi...this is our first post and we thought we would give a quick summary of why we "non-bloggers" are "blogging". # 1 Fred says it's better than drinking 3 or 4 bottles of wine today lol !!!
Come on now lets be serious ... 6 years ago our lives changed...drastically... Fred was diagnosed with MS.
He tried as best as he could to maintain working but as a renovator & custom home builder it became increasingly difficult due to the MS "brain fog" and unsteadiness on his feet. (being 3 stories up on a beam & not sure footed is a no-no). He then worked as a renovation consultant but also found that the high stress level of such a job was also playing havoc with his health.
Soooo he slowly had to hand over most of our companies responsibilities to our son...who had been doing his apprenticeship in carpentry with his dad.
He then started the journey of researching and learning about MS for himself...(big big post on this to follow)
He also started to sketch & paint...
Over the next little while we will be posting more of his work on this blog but for now we have put up one of his paintings called "reflections", our blogs name. He has used the medium of art as a way to express the many emotions that living with MS has evoked in a guy more used to being creative with hammer & nails.
But sorry back to why blogging now... Fred has a plan & a desire to go Albany New York to under go the Liberation Treatment (again more on this to follow) and we need help & support...which we have already received from many friends & family members but there is still more that is going on that we wanted to communicate about ... so we are "blogging".
