From The Crow's Nest 🪹
Today I am sharing just a small behind the scenes peak of my MS journey.
We just passed a year since my diagnosis and today I got my first big win! I've experienced several major progressions since the beginning of 2025, one being signal loss to the right side of my body. Not complete loss, but enough to cause a significant loss of strength in my leg and arm, drop foot and a destabilized ankle.
My PT (who is an angel and a saint) worked hard with me on walking, coordination, and dizziness (for awhile walking was almost impossible simply because of the extreme dizziness it brought on). The dizziness is almost gone now but will always partially exist, and after she made some adjustments to my brace today, I walked around the building PAIN FREE in my ankle and leg for the first time in a year.
I lost a lot when my MS went into overdrive. I am still struggling in so many ways. But today is proof that my hard work is paying off and I wanted to share it.
When I started Curious Corvid I had no way of knowing where my life was headed and what was going to happen. But along the way here, this little press grew beyond me into a community that now belongs to so many wonderful people. And it was you lovely people who have helped uplift me and remind me that I am here for a reason.
So, here's to my fellow chronically ill corvids. You're not alone, I see you. I know its hard when you look back and miss the version of who you used to be. But who you are right now is pretty damn cool too. 🫂💜
