He is legally blind, and occasionally I would pick him up and take him to the doctor or run some errands. In return, we would go out to eat after and have a couple of drinks. This last time while we were on our way to a restaurant, I got a phone call from a friend asking me to go to a movie preview. I looked at my watch, figured I would have enough time and we agreed that she would pick me up at my house at a certain time. We were on our way back to his house and I know we were running late, but my friend usually runs late, so I wasn't to worried. Anyway, my husband called and told me she was there (on time-which was unusual) and I asked him if he would run my friend home and then I wouldn't be so late. My husband agreed and my friend agreed to wait for me.

Okay, I know this is long, but bear with me. When I got home, my husband was pretty agitated. First of all, my friend had a hard time giving him directions to his house because of his vision problems so it took a while. But this is what really got him, apparently he smelled really bad. I had know idea!
I never noticed it at all. I profusely apologized and the next day looked it up and found out that it's a symptom of MS. Not a bad one for me, but definitely it is for others who are with you!! Who would've thunk.

Anybody out there have this problem????
