RyansDad aka Randy
 Hi everyone! My name is Randy aka ryansdad, I live in Ohio, 40 miles
north of Dayton (near Piqua). I'm happily married and have 2 wonderful
kids, a 27 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. My son is what
keeps me going! He's a "Gift from God"! When our daughter was born we
were told we wouldn't be able to have any more kids so we just accepted
that and went on. So needless to say we were "SHOCKED" when we found
out we were expecting a baby, 18 years later! Our daughter was ready to
enter college!
I do believe God had a plan as Ryan gives me a reason and the
desire to live! I'm sure I'm not the only one that has enough of this
MS "crap" every now and then! I was diagnosed with RRMS in 98 (same
year Ryan was born) and was let go from my job in 2001 (I was a short
haul truck driver) My main problem is leg strength (spend most of the
time in a wheelchair) and balance but I can't leave out the 7 or 8
other things that I deal with that are MS related. Spasticity ( I had a
"Baclofen pump" implanted 2 yrs ago) and cognitive problems are among
the items on my MS list of problems.
Sometimes I feel I'm blessed with MS, if it weren't for it I
wouldn't get to spend so much time with Ryan (I'm a "Fulltime Dad"
now). I can't leave out the fact that I have met some other MS'ers that
are near and dear to my heart! Thank God for the Internet! Well there
it is, that's my story. I'm thankful to be part of this group, as I
feel we all need each other! God bless you all..........Randy
