Ever since I have lost the ability to run, I want to run. It's funny how the things that seemed so normal before are now a part of a wish and maybe a little bit of envy. I long to ride my bike like I did before.
A little before I started have balance and muscle weakness, my husband gave me a nice bike for Valentines day 2008. Now the perception is that most girls long for jewelry , flowers etc... on this day, but he knew just what to get me. He wanted me to spend time with him doing an activity that he loved. It was absolutely the best Valentines gift that I have ever received. I knew shortly after that I was going to have a big problem.
We would go on these nice bike rides, but it seemed to me that my legs would quit working, especially in the heat. It was like lead weights were applied to each leg.
So I have a goal, one of many. I want to ride a bike again. If it means that I have to take this awful shot once a day then so be it. I don't want to sit back to watch life pass me by. I want to be in the midst of it, enjoying everything that I can. This means I have to fight, overcome. Where are the boxing gloves cause I am ready.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.~Helen Keller
