What do you do with that kind of information?... (Continued from issue 20)

For the 10+ years since that first time I suddenly became a paraplegic at 16 years old to this time at 27 years old every doctor said there is no way to confirm you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) so just continue your life as normal as you can.

As normal as I can live, I did.

I went to college. I graduated in 4 years with a bachelor’s degree in chemical biology. I worked as a fire protection engineer for a company in New York City, conducting inspections of highly protected risks.

That job required me to climb tall buildings and WALK through the floors of said buildings with no concerns about not being able to do it.

BUT now due to a decision my husband and I made together to start a family, there was no more hiding from those 2 letters.

So what number am I up to? Oh Yeah…

Keep stress levels low because I am pregnant but…

First, I had the morning sickness which was stressful.

Second, there was all the talk of the world coming to an end due to Y2K.

Third, I was bleeding vaginally.

Fourth, MS made me a paraplegic.

Fifth, my heart rate went above 200 beats per minute.

Sixth, my husband had to be called back to the hospital because the doctors wanted to STOP MY HEART!!!!!

Seventh, my baby could die so we could save my life!

Eighth, why am I still in the hospital?

Ninth, complications for the baby just to do a test?

Tenth, waiting for the results from that radioactive isotope test!

Eleventh, what’s in the bag?

Twelfth, Oranges and needles?

Thirteenth, Do I have diabetes too?

Fourteenth, MS confirmed?

The paperwork that the visiting nurse had stated that I have MS, Asthma and pregnant. Nothing about the heartrate except to watch it.  And due to the medications and testing I had just undergone I needed to be on a restricted diet and be treating myself as if I had gestational diabetes.

The nice definition of Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar during pregnancy. Which meant eating healthy, well-balanced foods and getting exercise can usually keep it well managed. But sometimes, insulin is necessary to help you manage blood sugar levels. If left untreated, it can cause health problems for both you and the fetus.

Remember I HATE needles?

My hate for needles wasn’t as strong as my love for the baby that was growing inside of me. I mentally agreed to do whatever it took to care for the gift that I was given and confirmed when those 2 lines appeared on that pregnancy test. That thing that I never allowed myself to want so that I wasn’t disappointed if it was determined that I could not get pregnant.

There I was doing things that I never thought I would be doing. I was counting calories, testing my blood sugar 4 times a day, taking insulin shots 2 times a day, and having ultrasounds every 2 weeks to make sure the baby was doing ok.

Oh yeah, and I could no longer “hide” from those 2 innocent letters, M & S.

From this time forward I promised myself that I would be open with others when they see me stumbling when I walk, I would tell them why and not dismiss the question.

I will use the tools that are available to me like a cane, a walker, or wheelchair when I need to. I would not wait until I fell and injured myself just to “hide” from the world that I was disabled. Because now I will admit I am Differently Abled! I will use the handicapped parking pass because I may “look good” walking from the car but after walking for a short distance I may not be able to find my car or walk the distance to the only parking space available because I didn’t use the tool i.e. the handicapped placard.

I will be a proud mom to my unborn baby even before my baby comes into this world! That is what I will do with that kind of information!

14 has to be the last stress to worry about, right?

Back to that in the next newsletter…
