Those MS organizations? No, they don’t help him.

In all the years since The Curmudgeon was first diagnosed with MS to now, I don’t think there’s been but one time the MS society was ever any help at all. I’m not real sure how much or if they had something to do with the single time we got a useful item for free that actually aided The Curmudgeon. His ice vest was/is a wonderful thing for him.
I do wish the MS society was of help. They aren’t. All they do is send us magazines with articles about relapsing remitting MS and nothing about his secondary progressive MS. The other thing they do, is ask for money that we don’t have.
He has a mobility scooter that is out of commission and no one will even look at it or attempt to fix it for him. Therefore, taking the dogs out more than twice in the morning is impossible for him since he no longer has a scooter to use. He misses being able to go beyond the confines of the house.
Getting him over to a place in another city to pick up a much-needed walker is turning into a logistical nightmare. There are days where disappearing somewhere to have a good cry is a necessity.
You all have a good one.
