Re: They made me stop exposing my employer to potential liability.

Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for your reply - I am sure that ma1ibu will crawl back under the
rock he came out of and we wont hear from him again.
Take the hint, ma1ibu.

I am not planning to top myself any time soon, but it makes me feel
more in control knowing that if I do get to a point with this disease
where I am no longer the person I want to be that I cant take myself
out the back and tap myself on the head if I choose to.
I watched my Grandfather die of old age, along with colon cancer, at a
ripe old age of 88, however, the last 20 years of his life was marred
with cataracts, severe arthrits, 100% deafness and I saw the
intelligent, artist man be trapped in a body that did not function for
years. While different to having MS, I can't see myself getting old,
and having to deal with old age, as well as all the gremlins I have now
at the age of 33.

I dont look at myself as suicidal, just a cold hard realist.

Having been as control freek of maximum proportions, getting hit with
the MS stick and having all control taken away was as big a disability
as any other symptom I have the pleasure of suffering from.
My "retirement" plan as I fondly call it, is in a psychotic macarbe way
giving me something to look forward to and takes away from the stress
of dealing with the daily pain and stress.

It is as good a cure for despression as the happy green pills I take
daily.
I agree, anti depressents are a must.
Anyone out there who has MS but is trying to do it on their own, please
give the happy pills a go.
They do make a big difference.
I no longer cry like a baby when I come up against a "cant do" order
from my brain or body.
Get a few of them now adays.

The good thig about getting MS (yes, there was one) I no longer get
stressed by other people's behaviour; I no longer worry about things I
cannot control (I dont sweat the small stuff, and I dont even sweat the
big stuff!) I no longer spend time with destructive people and I am
closer to my family and true friends.
I have given up all my obsessive compulsive traits and no longer worry
if all the beds are made with hospital corners, or whether the washing
up is done immediately the plate the sink.
It is a freedom I never had as a healthy person.

Nice to "hear" another knowing keyboard tapping though - wish I had
tried this group chat thing ages ago.

cheers

lindy
