I've been working for a man who's got MS. The poor bloke can just about hold a special mug for drinking and use an adapted remote control for his TV. Otherwise he is totally paralyzed. He's is dependent on carers to do everything else for him; feeding, getting out of bed & emptying his catheter bag etc.
He's an intelligent man with a degree in mathematics & was a high flyer in the computer industry.
The next time I'm feeling sorry for myself I'll think of his predicament:-(

As you say, poor man. This is very sad news for him and his family and friends.
How sad, it is stories like this that make me grateful for my lot.
I thought I had developed that when I started having problems. Even with a non operable non cancer brain tumour causing me problems that limit me in many ways, I am still better off than that and am grateful. You really don't know what you have till you miss it.
Well Carrust, my next door neighbour's son is married to a girl of 28 and very much she is in the last stages of MS. Now paralysed - he lifts her out of the car just like a bag of coal, humps her up and carries her in to my neighbour's house. This has all happened within 3 years.

When I see her I feel terrible when I moan unnecessarily. JjCon
Health is everything isn't it and it's certainly a lottery. I too feel very sorry for this poor man.
