I just want to say that living with ataxia isn't really that depressing. I don't want my posts to sound so serious all the time. Sure, I have my bad days dealing with it, but having ataxia can also brighten my day. For example, I laugh at myself when I fall or trip over myself. And like I said before, having a disability can be advantageous (at the amusement park). I am a jokster, and with my friends I joke a lot about my condition. I guess it might be a coping mechanism. It's not like I never talk about ataxia seriously though. I know it is a very serious condition. But I don't want to dwell on the fact of what the future may hold for me. And I don't. I know what could possibly happen to me, but I choose to remain optimistic about how my ataxia progresses. My faith plays a huge role in that.
im sure i have come off as very negative about it too. i do like the perks (handicap pass, not having to work, etc) but i would rather work my butt off trying to make it than have this condition. if i fall in public i get embarrassed and if i do at home i leave to my daughter to laugh at me, shes good at that!
