SORRY FOLKS...

To the readers of my blog:
I am sorry that I did not post this past week, but I was ill -to put it mildly- and in the hospital for four days.  I do have MS but funny enough it was not the cause of my time of torturous trauma in the hospital.  I foresee a blog or two coming out of this pondering and perplexing puzzle.  I do have a new post ready for posting on Monday or maybe Tuesday.   I hope that life is treating you all well.

Grand theft auto-immune…

Many people over the years have asked me if I have thought about driving a car.   They eagerly remind me how hand controls have made this possible for many individuals.   My response is that my hand-eye coordination has always been lackluster.   I explain that I am really good at Grand Theft Auto.   Then I clarify that I am really good at crashing the cars on Grand Theft Auto.   I guess that crashing vehicles in real life would be frowned upon. However, I have recently been contemplating copious cavalcades.   I could be making daily trips here and there continuing to master my self-reliance.   The goal is to not burden me with needing to count on others.   I currently feel enslaved by the absolute dependence on people and not myself.   The deprivation of freedom that I feel from the shackles of dependency aggravates me to no end.   At this point, I need to start looking at all of the options before me.   I need to see what I...

Involuntary inspiration, me???

Someone recently told me that I was an inspiration to them.   I have been told that before, but I do not feel like an inspiration.   This person explained to me that I have a great attitude.   They told me that my jovial disposition   despite the numerous adversities that have been in my path is excellent.   Apparently, they did not read my untold MS story blog post.   Life has not always been rainbows and butterflies for me especially when dealing with my MS.   To be clear, I do not feel like an inspirational person.   These compliments tell me that the definition of inspiration might be nebulous.   Maybe the meaning of an inspirational person is not what I think that it is.   The following stories tell the tales of those who I believe are inspirational individuals indeed. There is a soldier named Travis Mills.   He came back from the Iraq war after an IED explosion incident.   He was the fourth quadruple amput...

The Inconspicuous side of MS…

I occasionally deal with those that see me in my wheelchair for the first time and talk to me like I am five.   “Hi, and how are you doing today?” people ask.   I answer like they are two.   “Wow look at the grown-up clothes that you are wearing today” I comment.   That usually goes over like a lead balloon at first.   After a few minutes, some people smile sheepishly and apologize in embarrassment.   I believe that when non-wheeled individuals see someone in a wheelchair, they make many incorrect assumptions. The following is difficult for me to talk about because my MS issues are more evident than other MSers.   Many with multiple sclerosis have symptoms that are not visible.   These hidden symptoms cause many who are not sick to distrust MSers.   The ill sometimes will say that they are too weak to do something.   At that point, the word liar gets tossed around like a ball in a dodgeball competition.   Wheeled indiv...
