Your eyes decide they don't want to focus or show you 2 of everything.
You miss out in joining the children/granchildren enjoying life

Anyone want to add to the list?

How about:

pros:

You save a lot of money on beer, because one is more than enough to have you on the floor.

Abby, that is funny! Made me laugh so hard because I know from experience the truth of that statement.

Seamus, I'm looking forward to experiencing some of the pros.

I suppose I do have one positive thing to add, one that has grown to mean a lot to me. Here it goes:

Pros:

You have a lot of free time to meditate.

You have lots of free time to write that book you've always wanted to, and it will take a lot of time between the double vision, weak fingers and twitches in your hands.



Hey, this is fun! lol

Funny you say that but that's exactly what I am doing. I'm updating a book I wrote on our families immigrant about 5 years ago. And yes I got those finger twitches but did finally get rid of the double vision.

New Pro for me:
I made me 4 music CD's of old songs I love including one of Elvis Gospel songs.
Mike

I decided to get my BA in Psych. Using the talk to text software, which, can be very funny as it writes one word, you said another...ie. ***** for itch.

Cons

My life on the road as a professional musician had to stop. My mouth and tongue and fingers had a mind of their own.

Seamus, I am SOOOO not "creative" this way -- words are just not "my thing". (I can't sing, either.) But, I LOVED reading this -- and look forward to what others have to say!!

I love the idea of "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade".

KEEP up the good work!!

Hearing comments when you use a disabled park legally. Comments such as 'There's nothing wrong with him'. I told one person I had the disabilty permit because I was blind.

Cons:

You miss out in joining the children/granchildren enjoying life






pro:

YOU have it,not THEM.
yes,you miss out in joining the children enjoying life,but you are lucky that THEY DO enjoying life,and you don't watch your kids suffer from MG.
YOU have it,not THEM.

Pro:

You can get a Disabled pass for the National Park system. You and eveyone in your car gets in free and camping fees are reduced.

In California disabled people can get a pass that takes 50% off day use and camping fees.

Pros:

You come to understand what slow down and smell the roses really means


Cons

You learn the hard way that if you don't slow down, you will be laying in the rose bed bottom side up smelling the manure the roses were fertilized with.
