| Publisher Description: Strange things had been happening for months. We went from doctor to doctor until we found a good one. He said, "Ken you have something organic going on, and I don't know what it is, but for now we'll treat the symptoms." It took another year to have a neurologist tell us, "Ken I'm afraid the news is not good. You have Multiple Sclerosis." Silence followed. Numbness went through my body. I had no clue how Ken felt. But we both knew there would be lots of changes in our life together from then on. The first step in a long line of steps was to seek the help of an MS specialist. The journey has been a long one with lots of challenges. Ken declining and my caregiving has tested the strength of our twenty year union. This book is intended to help other caregivers cope with the ups, the downs, the joys and disappointments when a progressive disease steals one spouse from another. . . for better or worse. |
