Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca. There are over one million people in North America who live with Multiple Sclerosis. It’s a disease that we hear about, we might even know a person who has it, but we know little about what it’s like living with it. Ardra Shephard has just written a memoir about getting diagnosed with MS at twenty-three years old, and now, having lived with it for twenty years. She’s candid and revealing, but she’s also hilarious and engaging. The book is called Fallosophy: My Trip Through Life with MS. She talks about struggling to see, and then her diagnosis, which terrifies her. Despite how bleak it might appear; she presses through with help from loved ones and soon appreciates that life doesn’t have to be joyless. She faces the challenges, the physical limitations, not necessarily with enthusiasm but necessity, and manages to adjust with every new challenge to lead a highly productive life, including becoming an award-winning blogger and podcaster and the creator and host of AMI-TV’s Fashion Dis. I spoke to Ms. Shephard three weeks ago about the book and more. Visit www.trippingonair.com for more. This new book is published by Douglas & McIntyre. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Ardra Shephard; Ms. Shephard, good morning.
