But you still have to have the spirit of a butterfly inside in order to do your art. Yeah. And that really came in handy because I went, well, I can handle this. I'll handle this MS. I don't know what it is. I'll deal with it. I'll find out a way to do it. And I'm going to go on with my life. And that's what I did.

Yeah. Well, that's a nice thing to say. But I've never been bitter and I've never had a – I don't really have any negative – I had little things along the way. For example, I went to a doctor who said, now, you're walking weakly on your right side. I could put a brace on your leg. And so he said, try the brace. I tried the brace. I walked up. This is fabulous. I'm walking around the office.

This is wonderful. And then I looked. I said, I have to wear this all the time? He goes, yeah. I said, wait, you don't understand. I'm Terry Carr. I'm known for my fabulous legs. Now I've got to wear a brace on my leg. And he just said, well, it's a small price to pay. And it was instantly, I went, it sure is. I mean, I would be able to put it in perspective.

that I have to wear long pants or long skirts forever now, but I can walk around better. So it was one of those things where I was able to say, what's better, showing off my stupid legs or walking better? So I walk better. Do you still wear the brace? Oh, yeah. Cut it out right now. How would you describe your walking now? Oh, it's not good. I mean, it's got, I've gotten weaker. It comes and goes.

But, um, It's, you know, more than how am I walking is, it's my fatigue level. You know, I get really tired. For me to walk around the block is like someone climbing Mount Everest. And I think people who don't have MS don't understand that. So it takes a lot of energy. But I walk a little slower.

But, you know, I walk across airports and I do a lot of traveling and people start walking fast and going ahead of me. I go... I'm getting there. I'm slow but sure. And I try to keep a sense of humor about it and a good attitude. I mean, not to say I make fun of myself, but I try to make it easier on other people because I always think it's harder on them than it is on me. I'm fine with it.

I'm happy to be alive. But they must think, oh, you poor thing, you're suffering. And I'm not.
