How my sister sees my life

My name is Jessica. I’m Corie’s sister. I am 2 years older than her, but she has taken care of me most of my adult life. Even before she knew she had MS, she was clumsy and prone to moments of forgetting. She was able to play it off, though.
When she had her son, she was an amazing mom. He was on a great diet, learned at an amazing rate. She recorded him every day.
Corie managed a website for our crafting business and made most of our products better than any of us. She has always been a perfectionist.
Over time, she has lost sensation in most of her lower body, as well as her hand-eye coordination. I have to check her feet regularly, as she cannot do it herself, to make sure she doesn’t have any sores. I help her with her son, as she has trouble waking up in the morning. I also have to make sure that he doesn’t take advantage of her.
She has MS that is going untreated. Most people, at her stage, wouldn’t be moving. With all of her problems, even her doctors are amazed she can still move. In my opinion, based on the fact that she shouldn’t even be able to move, even her bad days are a miracle. She’s an amazing and strong woman.
That doesn’t make her condition easier to watch. Actually, that makes it harder. I want her to see how amazing she is, but she doesn’t feel amazing. It is difficult to see the emotional pain she is in. She thinks she’s a loser. She cannot see just how much strength she uses every day.
Instead, I watch her cry and hate herself because she cannot do the things she used to be able to do. She cannot play games like she used to or crochet like she used to. Her biggest problem is that she cannot do all of the special projects, theme parks, and holiday pictures that she always did for her son and family.
Some days, she can barely move and needs help even going to the bathroom. Other days, she can do it all and takes advantage of it by doing projects with her son. He absolutely loves it. He knows his mother loves him, even at 7 years old. He acts like a child, but he is also growing up faster than most in this generation. I do not think that is a bad thing. He can actually handle the same responsibilities that my 11-year-old daughter can do. He can clean his own dishes, make his own food, wipe up his messes, and even helps with the laundry and sweeping.

Through it all, I am my sister’s body, and she is my brain. She does all of the things that my mind cannot, while I do all of the things that her body struggles with. Every day is different for her. Each day, she helps me to be able to do more and more on my own and I use that to be there for her more and more. She is my world.
