The guy who wrote this is just now getting into wheelchair full time. He still
thinks he can keep up with his bladder issues. Losing ground rather quickly.
Give me your friends email address & maybe we can chat a bit. Plenty of groups
& chats out there for us MSer's.

Bravo!!You made me laugh and think a bit.... good stuff!!Your point is actually
quite similar to a tenet of Independent Living philosophy: disability is a
natural part of life and people with disabilities are not necessarily "broken,
in need of fixing," but rather the environment around us needs to be changed to
accommodate people of all kinds. Allowing all people
choice and control in their lives is critical.Sorry to switch to 'serious'
mode--your essay had me laughing.

Interesting.
I met a woman just yesterday who is plus 40, with MS onset that began just
2 years ago. Before that she was without symptoms. Today, she lives
by herself, with a powered wheelchair and very depressed. I tried to refer her
to a CIL, MS Support Groups and Voc Rehab. I hope the best for her, but I
doubt that she will follow up on my suggestion. She appeared to have some home
care, but I don't think she has much support.
MS-Onset can do that.......

JUST PASSING IT
ON*************************************
HAVE YOU ALL CONSIDERED THIS!?!?!?!?!?!...just
saying!!
That,
maybe, what we are now experiencing with our MS symptoms is what we humanoids
were suppose to be like all along!?!?!?!?!!
I mean,
think about it!!!!
Wasn't
it a bitch to have to learn to walk in the first place.....!?!!!?!
What's wrong with just providing infants 'power chairs' during that
toddling phase or whatever the Dr. Spooks call it, and leave it alone.
NO
FALLS!!!
NO TWO
YEAR OLDS SCREAMING BECAUSE THEY BUST THEIR ASS ON THE FLOOR!!!!
NO
TRYING TO PROVE 'GRAVITY' WRONG!!!! TALK ABOUT GOING AGAINST
NATURE!!!
Then,
can anyone tell me who came up with this crazy idea that incontinence isn't
the way to go!?!?!?!?!?!??!
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!
Hell!!!
I bet Dyson could come up with something to suction the piddles and poop
up if the 'compulsive'/'obsessive' crowd want to make a STINK over it....BIG
DEAL!!
Here
again, allowing the 'NATURAL' flow of things occur seems only right, doesn't
it!?!?!?
The DAMN
power chairs could be built with a chute out the back from the seat and if
Dyson or Electrolux or Bissell or Hoover don't want society's business, so be
it!!
What's
wrong with having a little 'collection' bag attached to that chute?????
HUH!?!?!?!!?
UH-HUH!!!!! NOT BAD!!!
ALL
ALONG HUMANITY HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE 'NATURAL' COURSE OF HOW CERTAIN 'FACTS
OF
LIFE' SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG!!!!
HEY!!
HEY!! HEY!!! THINK ABOUT IT!!!
This way
ALL the parking places could be designated
'HANDICAPPED'....right!!!???!!!
This way
ALL buildings and doorways and kitchens would be designed as
'accessible'...what da ya think!!?!?
This way
ALL the stalls in the restrooms would be 'handicapped' accessible...but even
better; if we got the 'collection' bags at the back of our power chair seats,
NO body would need public restrooms anymore!!!
...in
fact, it'd do away with all that small talk at really bad cocktail parties
about which of the restrooms....male or female....are usually the
filthiest!!!!
Does
your MS symptom journey involve vision nuances!?!?!?!?
BIG
DEAL!!! Power chairs would come equipped with GPS and sonar as
standard!!
MY
GOODNESS!!! Do I have to imagine everything!!?!?!?
What
about our brothers and sisters who have grasping and dropsy as their periodic
systems?????
Betcha
you thought that I'd forgot about you folk....huh!?!?!!
NEVER!!!!
Can't
button those shirts????
Can't
tie those shoes?????
Fastening
that bra too much of an effort without assistance????
Putting
one foot at a time into the pant legs and pulling up the boot straps a thing
of the past?????
Do you
hate what elastic waist clothing does for your fashion silhouette!?!?!?!
SCREW
IT!!!!
I don't
remember coming down the birth canal wearing Armani!?!?!?!
DID
YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Well,
there you go!!! Why bother with the zippers and laces and buttons and
clasps!?!?!?!
GET OVER
IT!!!!
If
you're spiritual, then what are you doing anyway when theology teaches that
GOD made no mistakes in designing us and our bodies....; so who in the devil
does Chanel and Gucci and Lauren think they are in trying to improve GOD's
work!!!?!!
REALLY!!!!
...and
then look at all the duplication and cost in holding TWO separate
Olympics...one for those 'NORMALS' and then immedicately afterward, doing the
Para whatever Games!
If
everyone is in an adaptive mobility device to begin with; SHOOT!!!! We
can start having just one Olympic games and get over this focusing of
people's
differences!
Besides,
doesn't our democracy teach that 'everyone' is suppose to be
'EQUAL'!?!?!?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!?!?!?!
I've got a point there, don't I!!!!!!?????!!!!!
MS
Fatigue???? No problems there!!!
Society
will come to realize that this is a preferred way to live as dictated by
Karma
in telling the 'human race' that we need to slow the HELL down and take life
at a more 'scenic route' kind of lifestyle....!
The ones
of us with 'actual' MS that experience the 'fatigue' will be considered
Shaman
or some such guru and will be followed for our wisdom in providing
enlightenment as to how we should enjoy our time on earth....!
SCREW
MARTHA STEWART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY
GOODNESS!!! I have rattled on here, haven't I!?!?!
It's
probably that MS Cognitive Dysfunction stuff....oh, well!!
Now,
what was my point!!?!?
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZ!!!
NEVER
MIND!!!
....just
saying!
SHEP=
