It was funny.\u00a0 It pushed the milk I was drinking back up.\u00a0 I felt like a little baby that had taken too much from his\/her bottle.<\/p>\n<p>And I am forgetting the stupidest thing I did all day yesterday:<br \/>\nBefore leaving for the party yesterday, while my beautiful wife was loading the vehicle to leave, I was sitting quietly and noticed the spasms were starting.\u00a0 So, when we both got in the vehicle, I took the oral Baclofen, to try to stave off the spasms so we could enjoy the party.\u00a0 I had already taken the Horizant that morning, knowing this would be a painful day.\u00a0 By the time we arrived at the party, my legs had completely quit working. Only one thing &#8212; my wife and I were having a good conversation, laughing and stuff, and I forgot my place in the universe.<\/p>\n<p>I hopped right out of the passenger seat of the car, and was immediately reminded.\u00a0 I grabbed the car door and lowered myself to the ground slowly where I began laughing hysterically.\u00a0 My wife, unloading the wheelchair from the back of the vehicle, gazed around at me sitting on the cement driveway, and just shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>It was rather hilarious.\u00a0 We eventually got my carcass into the wheelchair and into the home for the party.<\/p>\n<p>I have to remember that I am mortal and I have flaws (quite a few have piled up in the last year.)<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, and God Bless,<\/p>\n<p>Jay C. &#8220;Jazzy_J&#8221; Theriot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the help of chemistry, I survived a party for four hours.\u00a0 Upon departure, I immediately medicated myself.\u00a0 About five hours of being bed-ridden, I could walk about twenty steps at a time.
