myasthenia (Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. The name myasthenia gravis, which is Latin and Greek in origin, literally means "grave muscle weakness." With current therapies, however, most cases of myasthenia gravis are not as "grave" as the name implies. In fact, for the majority of individuals with myasthenia gravis, life expectancy is not lessened by the disorder.

The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Certain muscles such as those that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, talking, and swallowing are often, but not always, involved in the disorder. The muscles that control breathing and neck and limb movements may also be affected.)

Last year was the worst year ever spending quite a bit of it in hospitals with my dad to then having to let him go .. I wanted a fresh new year and I guess it has not started so well either .

My thoughts go out to you.

But if you have an extended family then this will happen with increasing frequency and you will need to learn to deal with it. Before I met Ana I had a very Nuclear family. Me, mom, dad, 2 uncles, 2 aunts and 3 cousins that I knew of. Period. Done.

After marrying Ana I inherited her very extended family and it seems there is always at least three of them that are sick, injured or in the process of dying. (Her grandfather Guillo has had one foot in the grave for the last 13 years. Magnificent phuker just won't give up!! I love that guy the way he keeps beating the odds.) So you really need to learn to celebrate the lives of people and not so much mourn their deaths.

Let's face it, they are the ones who are going to Heaven (If you believe in that sort of thing.) It's we who are left behind. We really don't mourn for them, but for ourselves. Because we miss them. It's all really about our loss.

That being said. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Celebrate the lives of those lost to us and emulate the qualities that made you love them.

Extended sicknesses are particularly difficult to deal with because our images of those afflicted are so drastically affected. How well do you know your grandma? How is this affecting your perceptions of her? Focusing on the spirit of the person is usually the best way to combat the negative perceptions that debilitating illnesses can cause us to have. Who were they before they became ill? How can you help them stay who they were? Because if you're not part of the solution then you are just part of the problem.

Think and reflect on these things and it should help you work through the bad times. And no it is not easy, but it is necessary.

Ah well. Back to work. Pictures up tonight. (they are already on Photobucket I just need to link to here.)

thanx 2 every1 for trying to keep my head up =) Love ya guy.. ok that's as gayish as I will sound for the moment =).

question: what do u guys think of me getting 18x8.5 work emotions cr kai and selling my bbs???? I love my bbs but I for some damn reason been looking at 18''s and I was considering Rotas but If I gotta give up my bbs I don't wanna feel like I downgraded in a way (no offence for people sporting Rotas). I need tires soon so I figure sell the rims with tires which will have prob another 4k or 5k left in them and get new tires and rims.

A china man goes to the optometrist for a check up. After a brief check up the doctor tells his patient “you have cataracts” in a confused state the china man replies “no-no, I have Ring-con Conte-rental”. Hah ha!
