Can't count the number of times I have tapped tapped tapped and realized the plug must be IN the outlet not laying next to it for it to work.

You have to laugh sometime just to keep from crying...Being able to laugh "with " your illness is a big step in the right direction....Don't have MS but do have leukemia...

I have MS too and sometimes laughter is the best medicine.

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.

How brave you are to find humor in the situation. I have a twelve year old student with MS. My heart goes out to you. Blessings on your days...

Oh No LMBO
It is good that you have a wonderful sense of humor. I do not have MS but I find that having a sense of humor makes my Fibro easier to work with too :D:D:D

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.

Love the fact that your sense of humor is still intact...

It's a must have with any challenge!

Thank you for the chuckle. :lol:

Funny, made me laugh. My dog has to be on her pillow right up on my sewing table.

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!
