SYLVIA Mrs. Snowden, you have really made progress. I know it's hard to see, but just think where you were a month ago. More strength in your legs, you're standing up straighter. I'm glad to be back with you after your two days in the hospital for treatment. We can get going on this therapy.

MRS. SNOWDEN I guess I was pretty depressed the first time you guys were here. I sure put you through a lot. The first time the nurse was here, I acted like a whiny two-year-old. I'd given up my job, all those tests to find out what was wrong. And then to find out I had MS.

SYLVIA Remember when you, Joan, your nurse, and Tom, the social worker, got together for the first time? You were incredibly brave. I know Tom and Joan aren't scheduled to return. But, tell me, what about the sadness you felt after that first home episode? Do you still feel like MS is your fault? You didn't see much hope in the beginning.

MRS. SNOWDEN You know, Sylvia, Tom said the grieving process was always going to be there. But the more I learned about MS, I could finally accept that I didn't make it happen. I think I've come a long way. I live one day at a time. I'm a little rocky sometimes, but I'm not giving up. I'm doing everything I can to deal with this. Good or bad days, I try to have a positive attitude. Want to see how well I can take those steps down the patio?

SYLVIA All right.
