Happy 2nd Birthday to me 🥳 The Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant was done February 17, 2022 @hsctmexico (Clinica Ruiz, Monterrey). It was the single worst medical treatment I’ve gone through in my life (31 days). But it’s over 🥵

HSCT is not to be feared though, MS is the greater beast.

The subsequent months and now two years of recovery have been insanely difficult, yet have brought very unexpected miracles to my body. My day to day is full of long standing disability struggles, but it’s black and white better from before. I am holding strong with my improvements. However, I am on a monthly drug (Ofatamumab) to try to control the little relapses that like to torture me.

True to Fernie’s words, I learned to “run” again. (OK only for brief moments 🤣). But still….🤩

I don’t feel like my body is trying to kill me anymore. Not driving for 8 years, and now I can…..crazy awesome. I can’t say I’ve got my life back (at all), but I’ve found a little corner in life that I’m trying to blossom. Horses 🐎 🌟

I’m forever indebted to the many people, with so much love, who donated to help me get HSCT; thank you ♥️. I love you.

I’m doing my best, whatever that is. If there’s an opportunity that I can reach, I grab it and LIVE BIG. Most importantly, if you love someone, say it. You never know what will happen tomorrow 🌸
