"A Fortunate Man with MS" Podcast

About "A Fortunate Man with MS" Podcast

My name is Gil Greenman. This podcast is a chapter-by-chapter reading of my book, "A Fortunate Man with MS". It tells the story of one person with multiple sclerosis, a very fortunate person! Just as nature has decided to make snowflakes different, the stories of people with MS are all very different. And this is my story, told in the hope that maybe just one person who has been recently diagnosed or has lost hope might hear it. And that, maybe, they will take just one more walk, go to one more workout, move one step away from despair, and strive for one more day to make sense of this strange, often terrible, and occasionally fortunate presence of MS in their lives. (The "A Fortunate Man with MS" Podcast is read by my older brother, Jack Greenman)

   Our Summer on the Bay Downtown

   My amazing wife Lisa shared an idea: “I think Gil and I should come [to the Edgewater Hotel} every Friday in the summer and spend the night. We can have drinks in the bar in the middle of the day with one set of friends and then later have dinner with another group.“ And so it began...
