My husband has MS, so we're basically each other's cheerleaders. So far his disease hasn't progressed much, but it's always there. Same as my MI: I might be stable but it's not necessarily a permanent state. We're enjoying the time that we have.

It's harder when people expect you to be well or get better. My husband and I understand that there's going to be highs and lows. It can still be tough at times.
