Saw my Neurologist yesterday. Neuro husband and him had been looking into me having a blood test to determine whether or not my MND may be this rare Genetic form of ALS (poorer prognosis than PLS IE average Breathing time 10 years) Boy That was a long winded sentence!
It would not change treatment as none is available. It would maybe send me down into the doldrums. It would mean my children (have 5) could inherit it (boo hoo).
They are academics and cannot understand why I said NO NO NO.
It did mean that I had a rather nice dinner after my appointment with an exqusite Argentinian Malbec. Even that did not persuade me however.
I could milk a few more expensive dinners out of him while I pretend that I may be swayed, but ........ I am already podgy.
Am I being irrational or selfish?

Ha Bloody Ha Ha (sorry New Zealanders can be a bit rude sometimes)
