Mornin' EM, I've fixed you a little snack to get you started today.

4 Tylenol PM
6 Exlax
3 Valium
2 NoDoz
and to wash it down, a nice cup of crunchy peanut butter.

snorklin' flippers on? check!

bungee cords firmly attached to arms? check!

medically-induced motion sickness in gear? check!

head-gear with pongee-sticks ready? CHECK !!

okay, EM, now that you're all warmed up from the PT, please follow me across the hall, for your Qigong class.

you'll love it, many people say it helps alleviate their MS symptoms.

okay, first position... begin to take a slow deep breath... that's gooooooood...

now, bring your arms together in front of you, as if you were going to pray.

gracefully bring them UP over your head in a gentle curved arc...

that's it... doing GOOD !!

now, while your arms are headed up, rise up onto your tippytoes, all during that slow in-breath.

now, bring your arms........

Just discovered this thread and haven't read all the posts yet, butttt, I think Empathy Man needs a broken ankle with a humongous cast on it. Let's see if he can get down the stairs on crutches more gracefully than I did last night. Ka-thunk, ka-thunk, ka-thunk...

ah, yes... I'm soooo delightfully *cruel* at inflicting "empathetic responses" in our poor EM.



now, anybody know how we can artificially induce some HOT FLASHES ??



just to, sorta, add extra texture to his experience, so to speak.

I woke up at 4:30 am and thought I heard a siren!

Then I realized the high keening wail I heard was actually EM. Why is he doing that in his sleep?

Wakes him up to tell him to stop making that horrible noise AGAIN!

Jeeez! You look fine to me!!! Take a pill!!!

Yeah, crank that baby up to EXTRA HIGH - that'll give him that delightful burning sensation we all enjoy so much.

Might give him the experience of "hot flashes", too!
