Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this MS and all the complications that you are going through. Unfortunately, this is a condition that we can only slow down its progression in most cases and never really get to cure it completely. We are aware of the challenges persons with this go through but we never relent our efforts standing by them to help hem get the best possible care and support available. I understand how disturbing it is not to be able to walk around and be able to work like you were before. It is difficult but believe me it is the best of options available as of now to help you with this.
Who is a productive citizen and would you be a productive citizen? My response is yes you are a productive citizen. The society has never blindly accepted that a productive citizen is one who works more hours than others. A productive citizen who offers his best. If you can offer 8hours of work and you only offer 4, you are not a productive citizen. If you can offer 2hours of work because of your health status and you afford to offer these 2hour and nothing more, you are a productive citizen. Your mind state and the zeal to offer so much to the society tells me you have already done enough. Come to think of it, even if you were wheel chair bound, you can still do much. You may want to answer calls at a home where you live for customer service. You may want to type out papers for people because you can still type. You may want to read to children after school. These are all ways to stay active and be a productive citizen and i know you would.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you a safe and successful procedure next Tuesday. You are my hero...
