    Dani,  I think you bring up a very important topic. We are probably all different in terms of how we handle that past.   I consider myself fortunate that I was 47 years old before I began to feel some of the initial muscle loss so I really lived 50 years where this was not an issue. Maybe because of that, I look back very positively on athletic accomplishments  and my life before muscular dystrophy. I really don’t dwell much on the current situation because I tend to stay very goal focused.  I have talked to many people with muscular dystrophy, some with later in life onset,  others with a very early onset. I’ve actually had people with early onset say it must be more difficult for me because I had to transition from a more able-bodied life to the current. So I think a lot of it is really our own outlook and mentality and staying positive.   Whether you had this from an early age or maybe started later in life.
