I appreciate the author's humor and sarcasm, but even more so I really feel like this book helped me address many of my own discomforts and thoughts about people with disabilities.  I'm glad my eyes were opened to something completely new.

The author is seriously disabled with MS and her tales of life as such are harrowing for one just starting the downward travels, but she lays it on the line and is clear about it in a way that is oddly conforting.

 This is one of the most non-self-pitying, realistic, take no prisoners books about MS I have read. The author is seriously disabled with MS and her tales of life as such are harrowing for one just starting the downward travels, but she lays it on the line and is clear about it in a way that is oddly conforting. Highly recommended, but not if you scare easy. Her point about every day being a bit worse is chilling.   hide
