mom's friend

I spoke with my mother a few days ago and she has a friend that I also know(her kids are friends of mine from grade school).  I have met her two daughters before even if they are older than I am.  One of the daughters is having health problems and there is speculation of ms.  I cannot stand people getting scared of something, especially ms, when it is just speculation.  I will ask my mother tomorrow about her symptoms.  I would not wish ms on anyone and I don't think the word should be thrown around like this.  Mom said she has a sad story, her husband just divorced her and she has no money, but this all could be my mother blowing things out of proportion.  Still, ms is not a joke.  I cannot take it lightly.
 
I am just glad that I am staying right where I am, nothing better and nothing worse.  I am exercing a bunch, I think I can find a phoyo of at least my bicep.
