Thanks for sharing your story and your sense of humor. I've always said that if I lose my sense of humor, I'm in deep doodoo. Funny about the dog. While I don't have MS, I do have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis and rheumatoid arthritis, so I can definitely relate. It's frustrating when your body won't do what you want it to do, especially walking. One day at a time, keep on truckin' girl and keep sewing, keeping the mind active keeps us going. Here's to happier days.

What an amazing attitude you have! My puppywog won't move unless you gently nudge him and say "move." He is with me in the sewing room always and I must say I love having him there with me. Stay positive and keep that wonderful sense of humor.

Your dog story made me laugh, too, and I didn't feel even a little bit guilty. You see, I have NMS, also. I feel lucky in that it has not affected the use of my feet and legs. My p-roblems are with my hands. My right hand shakes and some times jerks. I can be showing someone how to line up some quilt blocks. I mnight say, "you match them like this", and about that time my hand will jerk and one or both of the quilt pieces will go flying across the room. How about that blind quilter in Austin? I could never do what she does. Amazing!
