My Constant Companion


"That was scary!" I instantly jumped with a spark that shot up my spine and pierced through my heart. My eyes blinked. Nearly immovable, it took a brief moment for me to realize I was still breathing, still alive. Sleep unsettled, hestitantly I slouched back into the comfort of my pillow and cautiously wound my way to Dreamland.

In the light of day, cognition fogged as I clumsily trampled among familiar mundane motions, yet most remain unremembered.

At last evening, sitting alongside the dinner table, ready to spoon a bite of food, vision compromised as my left eye smeared over with complete blindness.

*Sigh*

Multiple Sclerosis. My constant companion; my common foe.
