Life before Multiple Sclerosis was pretty good. I had no idea this uncurable disease would change the course of my life forever.
My life was on cruise control when I got MS at 43.
The Business was doing okay. I had time to build it before selling and retiring around 55. My daily routine was as follows.
I got up at 6 am.
I drove 10 miles to work.
Employees start at 7 am.
My dad would show up and we’d go to breakfast.
I would spend the day delivering product.
Dad watched the shop.
Employees left at 2:30 pm
I went to the bank and then Gordon Biersch.
I got home drunk and slept.
This was my routine for 20 years.
After I got MS I had to stop making deliveries because I lost so much strength and balance. Everything else stayed the same for 7 more years.
I sold the business one day before COVID hit. I was lucky. I don’t think it would’ve survived. It still runs today.
In 2024 I moved to a house in Glendale less than a mile from my old warehouse. It’s not cheap but I’m managing. If you want to make my life easier please donate.
