Yes, tomorrow is another day. I am worried of my brother. He is a redneck hillbilly (by his own admission) in western Kentucky. He is 50 years old. One night last week he got out of bed to go to the bathroom and found he could not move his right arm and both his legs. An ambulance had to be called to transport him to the town's small hospital. They immediately transported him to a larger hospital in Owensboro. He was diagnosed with a spinal inflammation (transverse myelitis). The docs still don't know the cause. It could be three things...residual effects of a flu, Lyme's disease or MS.

I'm sorry about your brother - what a scary thing to wake up to -- the paralysis.

Thoughts and prayers up for bubba...I truly hope it is not MS.

Cheers, CB.
