I have a friend who has a form of MS. He gave up the fight a long time ago. His wife has begun trying to find out what it will take to place him in a nursing home. My wife was talking about him to a friend of hers on the phone. I wandered into the bedroom and started crying, couldn't stop. When my wife came in to ask what was wrong, all I ccould do was keep crying. Part of it was i was sad for my friend, but mostly I was scared. Is that what the future holds for me? Unable to care for myself, unable to adapt, giving up when all options are exhausted, beaten and alone? Maybe. But not today, nor tomorrow. I have something that may get me in the end, maybe. But untill then, I will do as much as I can for as long as I can. I may not be able to beat this, but I can win. Marvin [log in to unmask] http://rampages.onramp.net/~mgiles/
