Good one Al <LOL>. I have relapsing remitting MS and get a yearly neuro. exam. My neurologist is 5 feet tall and weighs under 100 lbs. I am 5'8" and weigh significantly more than a 100 lbs. I have five horses and shovel manure several times a day and drag around 80lb. bales of hay. I have never had any weakness at the CLINIC with my little neuro <g>. She says every year, "You are so strong", and I reply "It's all relative to ones lifestyle".

I promised a follow-up after me local neuro visit yesterday. We had a long talk about my weakness versus clinical weakness. He admitted they only have the crude clinical exam to measure that, and that they can only observe differences from one side to the other or pretty obvious weakness.

I had formed this opinion long ago - but the weakness impacting my daily active lifestyle cannot be measured clinically. There has to be some real motor defecit for them to pick it up, and really even get their attention. I wish I had done an EMG at the specialist - guess it will have to wait until February at my appt then.

His favorite saying is the last doctor to see you is always the smartest.

p.s. Ladies - he didn't get any prettier since the last time I saw him. He did have to get behind me and push my head through the doorframe though.:-D
 
I love that, clinical weakness is the kind that doesn't show at the clinic. Priceless! Again with all the laughter. What a great start to a day. Have a good one:lol:

oh jeff,whats it like being mr wonderfull:lol:
i hope you did not damage the door frame:lol:

anyway back to weakness,here is one for the ladies.
i now have great difficulty plucking the old brows.
i can not grip the tweezers too well and my arms get very tired holding them in a upright position after less than a minute.
i got some wax strips but i dont have the flick power of the wrist to do this.
so i may have to start and go get them done at a beauty parlour or....................................go for the bushy mono look,what do you think?
its so much harder for us weak women:wink:
 
olly, the worst part of being Mr. Wonderful is having to pluck my eyebrows and finding a big enough cap size.:lol:

In case ya'll haven't noticed I'm the kinda guy that can't be taken too seriously at times. Humor and my faith help me get through most things, and I like to pick at folks.

I can dish it out, but I can take it too.:mrgreen:
 
:lol::lol::lol:you dont use the new mens loreal anti aging creams as well do you?......................i suppose your worth it:lol::lol::lol:
 
No creams olly but you should have seen me at the "Covered in Shiny Oil in Nothing but a Speedo" contest this past weekend.:-D

Actually at the beach I'm a knee-length swimming trunk and baseball cap kinda guy. You can't expect much from a guy that likes to race dirt bikes, hunt, and fish.
 
ktmi ... you say: p.s. Ladies - he didn't get any prettier since the last time I saw him.

I am beginning to think you are protesting too much that your neuro is NOT a hunk. What are you trying to hide from us? Afraid we'll put him in the hunk pool, and you'll lose out on the best-looking-guy-in-Georgia award?

Because it's almost Christmas, I hearby throw my cardiologist into the hunk pool. He was educated in a nation that the US government does not think highly of at the moment, to put it mildly ... something about bombs and terrorists, etc ... and he is the one who poked a hole in my artery while doing a "routine" angiogram, leading to emergency open heart surgery and 17 units of blood to repair it, leading to ALS symptoms appearing when I woke up from surgery ... but he is SO FREAKIN' good looking, I forgave him on the spot. You know the saying, "Nobody's perfect." :)

It occurs to me every now and then that he may actually be a terrorist out to destroy America one little old lady at a time, but gosh darn it, he's cute.
 
I promise I am not hiding anything.

But his secretary. Woohoo!
 
All I can say is that its impossible not to smile, if not down right laugh reading this thread! And Beth, remember your "weakness" that you discovered was actually due to turning the key the wrong way in the lock? Today I couldn't open the back door with my left hand (the weak one) and as I switched over to trying with my other hand, I looked at Don, and said, Oh, I'm probably just doing a "Beth" ....

I did pick out my original ENT doc because of how he looked. No kidding, not exactly a hunk, but easy on the eyes and he had a really kind look about him ... another example of what the internet offers over the yellow pages. :cool:
 
You guys are crazy (LOL). They say laughter is the best medicine and I just got a good dose of it.

Beth- May I ask what you did for a living (stand up comic or joke writer).

Rose- isn't it great how you get to see the docs picture online before you get to meet him.
 
crystal,
Yeah, they make me laugh all the time, and it truly is the best medicine!

BTW Jeff~

most ladies perfer the knee length suit and baseball hat look OVER the speedo! We have a family pool in our golf club and funny story. A new family moved in and the new guy wore a speedo to the pool and even rode to the pool on his harley IN his speedo and NOTHING else! Then his wife was oiling him up! I am not being mean but it was a bit much for a saturday afternoon at the kids pool. I mean it is not vegas! We live in a conservative golf community.(well, not that conservative after a few too many in a wine room)

speaking of good looking doctors. After my 2nd son was born and you feel all gross and big the on call peds doctor was sooo good looking, I just wanted him to go away. On the other hand my sister said that I should switch peds for sure! On that note, when my sister had her son, the on call peds was a beautiful and thin young woman! C'mome, when you are siitting there with your husband feeling tottally gross and hormonal...she should not be allowed to go into the rooms!

If we are still talking about clinical weakness.....I was at my son's concert (he was a wise man, and amazing and sooo cute) I was holding the video camera and my arm was burning and shaking and It was hard! That is weakness, my friends! It only is a pound....
 
I think we left the subject of weakness a long time ago. We're just looking for laughter now. And that is not a bad thing at all!

BTW, I bumped my head on the doorframe coming in the house tonight, and wiped it down with some tanning oil on a Speedo. Feels much better now!

p.s. Wish I had a Harley to ride - guess I'll have to get on my dirt bike instead. Those trees and sawbriers will hurt in a Speedo though.:lol:
 
You guys REALLY are not well. :eek:)
