What is Me and My Shadow : Learning to Live with Multiple Sclerosis about?

It is 1991 and Carole Mackie is on top of the world: 23 years old, in Rio on the job of her dreams as a British Airways stewardess, with a boyfriend she loves dearly. Two weeks later, she is flown home in a wheelchair; after extensive tests multiple sclerosis is diagnosed. <p>Struggling to come to terms with this devastating blow, Carole flies to Finland where her boyfriend, Craig, is working as a golf pro. He refuses to read any of the information she gives him about MS, and she discovers they have a communication problem. Although Carole has to give up her beloved long-haul flying, British Airways lets her stay in the air as a short-haul stewardess, but she needs to retrain and is struggling financially. Meanwhile she and Craig are growing apart, as he tries to carry on as if nothing has happened. When Craig leaves her for another woman, something Carole finds more devastating than being diagnosed with MS, she flies to Australia, to be with her mother. The trip is a turning point; she can relax and regain her old fighting spirit.</p>
