Selma Blair just gave her followers another peek into the ups and downs of her life as a mom with multiple sclerosis . The actress, 46, who revealed her diagnosis at the end of last year , posted a touching video of herself with her son on Instagram.
In the video, she's riding her Alinker, a pedal-less walking bike , and her son has hitched a ride on the front too. The video focuses on their feet; Arthur's on the front post of the bike and Selma's walking along the sidewalk.
"Today was tough," Selma started out in the caption. "I couldnt get out." The video, she goes on to explain, is actually from yesterday.
Yesterday, as Selma shared, was a very different type of day. She and her son took the Alinker out together. Selma added: "Joy. My son hitched a ride and we had a perfect day."

Selma continued to praise the bike and how it helps her out. "I so wish this @the_alinker_world game changer of a mobility aid for people who need and want and are willing to really give it a go. It keeps me going right now thinking people lives are changing for the better."
After using the Alinker for a few months, Selma says she wants this "aid for so many people" and "it feels good to help." "Spread the word," she adds. "Its a community that helps you live again."
View this post on Instagram Today was tough. I couldnt get out. This was yesterday. Joy. My son hitched a ride and we had a perfect day. I so wish this @the_alinker_world game changer of a mobility aid for people who need and want and are willing to really give it a go. It keeps me going right now thinking people lives are changing for the better. I didnt think I would be in this state of health with a young kid. I didnt think I would ever need a cane or wheelchair or mobility aid until well into old age. But here we are. I am happy. I wish I could ride and compete and carry my son and work right now but the work on myself takes precedent. I want this aid for so many people. I am tempted to call my friends and ask? Can we give an #alinker together to someone who has an active campaign going on @the_alinker_world site ? I dont want to be pushy. But it feels good to help. Spread the word. Its a community that helps you live again. This walking bike is my lifeline to outside. And that is joy. Let me know. We can post together. Love, pushy blair.
