RULES FOR THE LAME
1. Heat makes you weak.
2. It's 10x colder to me.
3. It's stressful avoiding stress.
4. Always know the closest bathroom.
5. If I say I really got to pee. Please do not be shocked where I choose to relieve myself.
6. Do all that you can with a smile. You cannot be sure if you will be able to do it tomorrow.
7. If you fall down laugh loud enough so that people can hear you.
8 You will fall down - So laugh and start counting, it will not be the last time.
9. Remember to get up by yourself. Thank the person that tried to help you, but do it own your own.
10. Never let the hot nurse catheterize you.
11. You can only coast going down hill.
12. Regret is your own fault, not multiple sclerosis.
13. Never lie about MS, but be thankful. It's a privilege to have. Learn from it.
14. Viagra is a complement. It should be considered as your Facebook status.
15. Hills suck - so learn to tuck and roll.
16. Park away from your destination, and enjoy every step of the way. A man without legs wishes he could walk half the distance.
17. Rest before you get tired and weak. You can do it or MS will make you do it.
18. I don't have a limp, it's the swagger of a cripple.
19. MS is kinda if funny. Please laugh at it, because the healthy are afraid too.
20. Make the concerned and sympathetic folks relax. MS sucks, but compared to other options, it ain't that bad.
21. The MS I fall asleep with might not be the MS I wake up with.
22. I have memory problems. I can't get the words out of my mouth as fast as you want me to. But one day i will remembered and I will tell you all about it.
23. Can't die from it- but dying with it is a guarantee.
24. MS is mine and my burden alone. There are thousand different MS combinations. But mine was designed by God.
25. MS frees up your schedule, none of your time wasted dancing, jogging, or triathlons.
26. Multitasking is hard to do. And not necessary... it's just showing off.
27. Walking with MS is really just a controlled fall.
28. I got a bucket list but it's modified - and it will be completed.
29. Allow people to say that they are sorry, had no idea, or you look healthy. They feel they must. Let them have it cause it's their concern not ours.
30. Know your spasms.
31. Leave handicap parking to the old and feeble.
32. WALK AT YOUR ON PACE. THEY WILL WAIT.
33. Don't ask for sympathy but be grateful for understanding.
35. Don't wait for a cure or you will miss a lot of living in front of you.
36. If there was a cure, would that change the way you live your life? Probably not.
37. Stop wondering how you got. If you knew, would it change the way you have chosen to live?
38. Allow your family and love ones to cry over it if they must. Thank God that he saved them, because you can handle it better.
39. If you must have a wheel chair, pimp it out and make heads turn.
40. Thank God he slowed you down to smell the roses. All things happen in God's time, and for his plan it will be reveal his plan.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11
