sorry for your aunt, glad she is doing so well though :]

when i was living in another state i worked at a facility that had many MS patients. one particluar lady was in her 40's and was especially depressing, her husband left her after she was diagnosed and became disabled. she was 100% dependent, meaning she couldn't do anything for herself. we used what's called a Hoyer left ( think of a crane for a person ) to pick her up out of bed so she could sit in her wheel chair, it was electric and she has just enough mobility in 1 arm to nudge the controls around. she couldn't even move her arms close enough to her face to feed herself, she had a grabber that weighed probably 2lbs that she dropped all the time because she couldn't hold anything with a little weight to it.. i used to think about her all the time after i stopped working there.

anyways, yeah ms sucks and can be very nasty so please do what you can to spread the word thanks guys
