Thanks to Herrad's friends

Herrad sent an email and blogged about how she is feeling now. She has had to let go of the "I'm OK" answer when you ask her "How are You?'
This is a relief for me. I have to ask her how she is all the time. Cold, warm, hungry thirsty cant scroll down the computer screen cos her hands are shit, sitting to the left thus straining the right side of her neck. I need to know 'cos it is my job to to sort it out. Unfourtunately my necessary question was getting the answer she was not givving to the casual "How are you?" from friends.
"How do you fucking think I am? I have got bloody MS and hurt all bloody over you arsehole how do I feel? I feel like shit!"
I am a stroppy git myself and had to take a deep breath and be all sweet and bring her round to discussing what I can do to help. Sometimes I would react. She would get upset and we then talked hugged and got going on the right track again. Life is easier now it is public: Herrad feels really shitty- now we can get on with the rest of life.
Herrad's friends have been great. The kind supportive comments from her fellow MS bloggers and her other friends around the world have been a huge lift for us.
We are pushing forward with some new ideas and Herrad is working on making podcasts again.
Your comments and emails have helped us get rolling again. Thanks.
