Christina Applegate has been on the news lately talking about her diagnosis of MS. I remember hearing it before and I felt so bad because she had previously battled breast cancer. She will be finishing up her show, “Dead to Me” because of her diagnosis and the inability to function as well as she wants to as an actress.
I’ve always been a fan and I admire her so much for her strength and tenacity. I admire her honesty about dealing with her diagnosis and for now, limiting herself as far as her career, to focus on her health. She is not sugar coating any descriptions of her MS. It sucks and she is not afraid to say so.
What I find the most admirable and the way that I can relate to her is that she is taking time to mourn the loss of certain things that come with her MS. I have no doubt that she will become stronger but for now I want to hear her lament and get angry. This is more realistic to me. How about anyone else out there?
