My mother is one of those outgoing types that talks to strangers. She will randomly talk to people on the bus. THE BUS! There are lots of weird people on the bus. She is also related to half of eastern Washington it seems. A good example of this was many years ago when I convinced her to go to my nutty gay hair stylist. I had been seeing him for a few years and he was at this crazy young kids salon. Anyway, I never really asked him about his childhood because who does? Well, my mother. Within the first 10 minutes of this appointment, she found out where he was from and that she knew his mother and father. His father turned out to be in prison for attempted murder.
But anyway, I was at Walgreens the other day and a woman was getting her prescription for Copaxone. She was diagnosed at age 59 which is outside the diagnostic age. I actually talked to her AND invited to her to our ladies MS Starbucks morning. I called this a mothers moment. It’s amusing. Even Tom knows what that means…

This could mean that you are just like your Grandfather and never met a stranger or maybe you are becoming a people magnet. You know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Hi Nina-
I have been reading your blog for the past month or so ( I think). I really appreciate your thoughts and insight.
I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago, so just learning how to navigate the world. Live in North Seattle–the world is a small place?!

Hey Gretchen,
I am glad you found me. The world is a small place but it does help that Seattle has tons of MS people.
I am always up for meeting new MS people. If you ever want to meet up at the local starbucks, let me know!

I had several of those moments when I was on steroids.
