  1. Whoopie cushion, haha. And I thought I was the only one that would even think about an option of sleeping in the MRI. Something about that rythmic sound and having them put on classical music. Tried WMMS Rock Station in the CCF MRI, it didn’t help. The tech laughed because I guess he never saw anyone sleep through Metallica and such.

    Keep it up Sock.

  2. 1 -A 2 -D 3 -B 4 -A 5 -B 6 -B (and even after more than a year – I hate the shots!) 7 -D (I can’t text with either my hands or my toes!) 8 -C (with the correction- I DO poop my pants! Thus keeping a “Member In Good Standing” with the “Spare Pair Club!” 9 -B 10- D (Try not to freak out!) 11 -? 12 -C 13 -C (So I can easily grab one on my why in! After all they are right by where I park my car!) 14 -D Give me a ready excuse for my poor handwriting – ’cause I’m just lazy doesn’t cut it!
    After nearly 25 years of living with MS is am doing pretty well, take Avonex every week (along with whining!) and appreciate being able to get up in the morning!
