It is very healthy to vent this stuff here because even when you have other friends or family that don't fit that stupid category, you can't tell these stories to them, so you end up holding them in. Out is far better, and wow there is a world of stupid out there to contend with!
Chris went to a PT, against both our better judgement, but hey in the early weeks after diagnosis you don't realise how many things you have to figure for yourself and say no to.
He was bulbar onset, but very quickly followed hand and arm weakness.
The PT said we are going to build your arm muscles up - show me how many push ups you can do.
He actually managed to get his torso off the floor, just for a second or two, then the arms gave out and he nearly broke his nose face planting.
He didn't go back to that PT.
