The actress, 46, posted a video earlier this week in which she was using a walking bike, with her son Arthur hitching a ride on the front.
“Today was tough,” Selma wrote. “I couldn’t get out.” About their walk, she added, “Joy. My son hitched a ride and we had a perfect day.”
Blair also shared information about how the bike has been helping her. “It keeps me going right now, thinking people lives are changing for the better,” she wrote.

“It keeps me going right now, thinking people lives are changing for the better,” she wrote. She’s been using the bike for a few months, telling followers to “spread the word,” she adds. “It’s a community that helps you live again.”
Her latest post also includes a series of photo memories from last year. In most of the photos, Arthur is playing in a pool and on a floaty. He has a big smile on his face. She also includes a photo of what looks like her red-painted toes with her emotional support animal, Pippa, and an image from her cryotherapy visit.
In her caption, Selma reflects on how she was feeling last summer. “I was already falling. Couldn’t hold a pen. But we were together. I was really happy. I even tried cryotherapy. I am so glad this movie of pics exists. I was always there. I didn’t miss it. Until now. I am missing it. Road to recovery.”
“I didn’t think I would be in this state of health with a young kid,” she wrote in the post. “I didn’t 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. This walking bike is my lifeline to outside. And that is joy.”
Blair has been praised for continuing to be open and honest about her MS symptoms – her struggles and her bright spots, too.
