This Multiple Scoliosis has hit me even harder then y’all have seen me whine about on this board. Each and every post I make has to be done in Microsoft Word first or it would be intelligible to others. As a side note, the abbreviation MS for Microsoft has taken on new meaning for me lately.
Take the word “intentually” for instance, for the life of me I can’t think of how to spell it properly. I’ve tried Google and too many others spell it wrong too. Word even recommends the wrong words for it. An on-line dictionary recommends the wrong word too.
Somebody please tell me the correct way to spell “intentually”.
Y’all will be witness into my decent into madness soon, with all the lesions on my brain and spine, I really feel like I’m going to wind up nothing more than a pet rock on the mantle to my family.

I’m trying my best to man-up and deal with this, I really am. It does get a bit overwhelming at times though. As sad as it may seem, with me becoming a recent shut-in, the only way for me to communicate with the outside world has been through this board. Y’all have seen me grump about the strictness of other boards in another thread.
I feel like Goldilocks sometimes, this board is not too strict, it is strict at times, it is just right.
Thanks for the proper spelling, I was going nuts trying to figure it out. I did know how to spell it at one time.

What bothers me sometimes is the cell phone/chat lingo. Like “ur” for “you are” or “your”. You’re on a damn forum, take your time and spell it out properly. I know little things like that shouldn’t bother me but that drives me bat s*** crazy.

When people used to get all grammar Nazi me before, I use to get in a snit it about it, not so much now. I’ve gotten to where as long as people don’t think I’m a chronic liar or a habitual thief, I don’t care what they think.
Well I guess you could add child molester to that list, those selfish bastards deserve to be shown no mercy what-so-ever.

Man, I needa make my way to NO sooner rather then later!
My cousin Tony was diagnosed with MS pretty soon after getting back from Vietname, still going strong though. But the diseasse is still a b*tch anyway you look at it. Hang in there!

I just don't give a damn about my spelling on the interweb... if I screw up ohh well. I'm sure YOS will correct me at some point so who needs firefox... I have YOS Spell Check!

I don’t know if I ever admitted this to anybody, much less put it in print. When I was a teen, I wrecked my bicycle and had a bonafide case of amnesia. My brain went to sleep but my body was up walking around, I came to in the hospital about twelve hours later. I had to relearn my numbers and colors using a big box of Crayons again.
I’ve had trouble with math ever since. My wife won’t let me anywhere near the checkbook. How I made it this far in life, I’ll never know.

I wish you the best man. I definitely tend to overlook my blessings, good health, whatever you wanna call it. I don't want to stray this thread into a religious debate, and I understand that others hold different beliefs/truths than I do, but I believe there will come a time when you will live again and with 'perfect' health.
By the way, I don't mean this in the wrong way, but that should be current not currant

Oh yeah, I tend to blow off a lot more things now then I did in the past. I’ve had to get a lot more philosophical about matters now, learn what’s really important in my life.
I think that the loss of spelling some words is just aggravating at times and it makes me realize how much brain damage has been done. Short term memory is kaput, equilibrium is shot, and I’m having a whole host of brain related problems now.
All chronic illnesses are bad but this one is down right nasty.
