MS can be cool???

Is MS all bad?
Or can there be moments when having MS puts us at a slight advantage?
We think so!

• 'I'm having a relapse' is a good excuse to avoid shopping
• My golf handicap's gone from 9 to 21 in 10 months (dark side: that's still too low by 10)
• Wobbly legs make Elvis impersonations easier
• My company put air-conditioning in my car
• I can park for free now
• Due to numbness I don't feel my injections
• I now have all the time I want to be online
• The Government has more paperwork to go through than I do
• Shoes last forever when you use a wheelchair
• My husband finally learned how to cook
• Peeing a lot causes reduction in water weight
• Insomnia allows me to stay up late enough to watch Red Dwarf
• I have my own hunky valet
• Waxing my legs doesn't hurt as much as it used to
• It's cheaper than getting drunk, but with the same effect
• Librarians are less likely to scream about an overdue library charge when they see me either in my wheelchair or trying to walk with my leg brace and cane
• I get to go to the front of the line in Disney World
• I have a ready excuse to leave a boring party
• I get to park closer to the stores in winter
• I get to board the airplane before anyone else does
• I'm able to read a book on my lap whilst I queue for tickets
• The queues for the disabled loos are shorter at music festivals
• I don't have to clean the toilets any more
• I get to park my little car amongst the Jaguars in the manager's car park in front of the office
• When you're in a wheelchair nobody sees your ass!
