Wheelchair Dining Experience

Welcome to “Wheelchair Dining Experience” on the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast

In this episode, I rolled out to eat with my wife for a wheelchair dining experience  and it was a comedy/tragedy of errors. It was supposed to be a fine dining restaurant but the experience fell short in a lot of ways. I’m so starved to get out that it didn’t stop me from having a good time, but I don’t think I will be back.

Date Looms Large

Does the date of your MS diagnosis loom large in your life?
For some, it becomes a day to remember.
For others, it's a day they are happy to forget…
