The space between...

Hello!


Happy Saturday folks….


I went to the supermarket already, my kid wanted bagels and OJ with lots of pulp….it is the best OJ out there. I know that one of my brothers doesn’t like pulp, he’s a big wuss. But back to my story, so off I went to buy the bear necessities in life; the story is not the buying stuff but coming back; there’s where I have a story to tell.

That's how far...

So coming back I am riding back on a rather lonely street when suddenly, there is a car coming my way (I drive counter traffic to make sure I have a fighting chance). The guy or girl is driving at normal speed, ’bout 30 km/hr -18miles/hr, but once he/she/it sees me….S L O W S to a crawl and goes into the opposite lane to make sure there is sufficient space between the car and me! WTF??!! Just because I’m in a wheelchair does not mean I have slow reflexes, physically or mentally. No!!! I can still drive pretty well, I can make circles around myself! This is not the first person that takes evasive action at the sight of my chair, lots of people leave me the road to myself. This also happens a lot in the supermarket aisles too, I guess people are just being nice to me….God bless them all…


Adios folks...


PS...stupid kid and her tip rules...
PS PS...Maybe I smell....uuummm...

Bummer

Hello

Well today I'm gonna touch the subject of MS.....I know I know, AGAIN?? Yeah well during winter I'm cocooned and all these tragedies with people that got MS come knocking at my door. I promise that when summer comes I will write about the bird and the bees.

Keep in mind that I don't partake in their thoughts about MS being a devastating illness. I am sorry that they got MS and yes your life does a 180 turn, but I think you have to be positive in life and enjoy it as much as you can.

This morning my lovely wife was telling me about a customer's mom that has MS an is at a nursing home because she can't talk, move, feed herself. That sucks, right?? Yes, yes it does and I wouldn't like to be there. I start asking questions about this lady; it seems that she's been there for a while because the husband couldn't deal with the physical aspect of the illness. I agree MS requires a lot of help from others.

Then it hit me, can she blink her eyes??? I told my wife the story of the guy who had an accident and became a veggie...The guy wrote a book by blinking his freaking eyes!!! There is always someone worst off than you and manages to get ahead. I was informed that this lady couldn't remain focus therefore she couldn't converse with her eyes either. I didn't know what else to tell my wife; I don't know how worry she gets by seeing a mirror.

I know that ever since I've been like this, it has always been: What level are you at?? I dunno, the one where you can't freaking walk or move?????? Apparently there are different levels of MS; you get worst and worst and worst. I have talked it over with my wife and have come to the conclusion that when she can no longer take care of me, I would quietly and gracefully go to a nursing home. I think I got like 60 years to go, will probably bury her. I don't know I am really positive about this even if I am not a very active MS person. I like staying at home, writing, listening to music, thinking, playing...doing f_all and I'm happy! My wife MS people seem to be doom and gloom and I personally know 2 cases where the people are living very "active" life with MS.

So where am I going to fit???

I don't know, but I was dragged out of a good game of Yutopia to write this, bummer...
