Hello. When I was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy I thought I would just lay in bed until whatever. The whatever turned into me getting out of bed by any mean necessary and fighting every day. Even to day I’m still fighting after being in a wheelchair over 50 years. Get up stop feeling sorry for yourself and fight the fight for the next one that find themselves in your situation. GET UP GET OUT
