Myasthenia Gravis Support Group
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Although myasthenia gravis may affect any voluntary muscle, muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, and...
OK I got diagnosed this month and the only thing funny I can think of was when I was talking to one of my sisters about an MG walk.
My sister is not overly active and does not enjoy a workout if you know what I mean. I told my sister should would have to look up the MG Relay (I meant walk but everyone is talking about the cancer relay right now). And she said "I can't run a relay! I haven't run in forever!". I said "You dork! They call them all relays or walks. You don't have to run." She said "Well how far is it?" (Great support you know!) I said "They don't always have a set distance. They are usually set around a 24 hour time period." She said "I can't walk for 24 hours!" (Really?!) I said "It's a pariticipation thing. You get a team together and take turns walking. Other than that you visit booths and stuff. The main thing is participating, getting donations and raising awareness." She kind of gave me that "I'm not sure" look. I said "Hey it's an MG walk, you could stop mid-lap walk away and go lie down for a nap and all folks will say is "That poor girl must be having a bad day!" We laughed. I said "Until I walk over and kick you in your lazy butt!"

I do this all day long! The secret is to quickly step in front of whatever you've dropped (try to do this without falling) and act as if nothing happened!
You all have me cracking up...... snot bubbles are not sexy
Thank you
BTW, I seem to have extra spoons today. So you guys can make me laugh some more!!!
I so can understand the "now it's here, now it's not" bit. I drop things all the time. It's a wonder my blackberry even works anymore. Don't you love dropping the keys and just looking at them down there, wondering if I squat down will I be able to get back up? Usually I drop things then stick my foot out to break their fall, lol. Sometimes that ends with a big bruise on my foot but it seems to be an automatic response.
I've gotten real good at picking things up with my feet, which works real well as long as the handle of the rake and the hoe don't hit me in the middle of the forehead, but it's worth a try!

Nope, we're not nuts.
Sheez - how can all these specialists, practice all these years?
And have an encyclopedic knowledge of human anatomy?
And not know - about this very basic matter of fact.
Thanks for the great humor.
