That's the question I thought I'd asked.
We've been in Baltimore this week for a medical appointment at Johns Hopkins. We were staying the night and had gone out to a seafood restaurant (like there's any other kind of restaurant in the Inner Habour) for some dinner.
I fucking hate fish. Scared of 'em, don't like the taste of 'em. There wasn't one non-seafood appetizer. :( Me porky. Me not happy. But me be nicey cos of Jewy. She loves seamen and their wares.
The Jewess has multiple sclerosis, it's getting pretty bad so she was in town to be assessed for a ground breaking chemotherapy treatment designed to 'reboot' the immune system. Hopefully she'll be accepted.
So we were digesting some bad-ish news as to the progression of her MS but the good-ish news that she could be a candidate for what appears to be a very successful treatment. It had come up through the course of the day that the lesion locations and severity could affect her sight or mobility if untreated.
Me picking at a salad listlessly (you've seen the camwhores do I LOOK like a salad boy?) and her wolfing down crab cakes we were morbidly discussing what we'd rather be, i.e. blind or in a wheelchair. I personally would choose the chair and I think most sane people would. Jewenstein would rather be blind. She muttered something about looking at me for the rest of her life. Which was sweet.
So to settle our absurd argument I asked the young, attractive waitress what she thought. She looked at me strangely then replied - "because of the discrimination?"
I kind of saw her point but I was more thinking about the whole being able to see thing.
She then went on to tell me a rambling story about her black friend who can't get a cab home from work and if they do stop he has to pay $20 in advance even though the fare is usually around $8 and how it's so bad he's discriminated against. She then walked off to talk to the huge bedreadlocked barman who glared at me for the rest of the evening.
El Jewo remarked that her response was odd until it dawned on me, she thought I'd said "what would you rather be, BLACK or in a wheelchair?".
I hastily made even more of a fool of myself by running after the waitress to explain her error then going over to the barman to apologise and explain it to him too.
His response?
"Whatever man, that's stilly a pretty fucked up thing to ask someone."

I just read about an experimental MS vaccine in the works called BHT-3009 that is showing a lot of promise -- have you guys heard of it? I'm sure you have done a lot of research but I just wanted to tell you in case you hadn't. It is in testing stages now but maybe you could look into it if you haven't already.

i think it might depend on the extent of the wheelchair situation - blindness might be preferable to quadraplegia for example.
i think some research would be necessary. blindness certainly seems the most scary, but maybe that instinctive fear of it blinds judgement, so to speak.

Depends.. If I'm in a wheelchair, is it one of those, "My legs were crushed/femur destroyed" so I can't walk, or spinal? If it's spinal, then my cock is useless, so I'd go blind I suppose.. But if my cock is still functional, wheelchair all the way baby!

Oh, I love this game, me and my other half play it in the car all the time. 'Would you leave me if...' So far, my other half would leave me if - I lost a limb, was in a wheelchair, was completely paralysed, turned into a vegetable, had severe facial burns, was deaf but still tried to speak, got really fat. I, on the other hand, wouldn't leave him if any of the above occured, and would also allow him to - be gay, dress in womens clothes, lose his willy or ability to use it, lose all his teeth. I am obviously the one 'more in love', either that, or I have lower standards.
Then again, irl he puts up with me being very mentally unstable and unpredictable.
Another great game is to name two celebrities, if they are munters tht is even better, and the other person has to choose one to shag.

Being both black and a wheelchair user I can say with confidence that my life is less terrible than blind folks. If you're in a wheelchair then you're in everybody else's world, only you're a bit lower down. If you're blind then you are no longer part of the 'sighted' world; you read your own mad books, you watch your own special mad TV shows, you only ever spend time in special mad blind groups or with government workers.
I mean there are people like Stevie Wonder who have broken into bohemian circles, but really would you be able to take a gangster saying "brapp brapp brapp, semi-automatic" seriously if he was holding the lead of a golden retriever?

this is a good post. you should do these more often.
i was driving home today and i caught myself murmering "she loves seamen and their wares" for what must have been at least 15 minutes.
also i am assholy. i need to clarify so you can properly attribute the adulation.
oh and also, i figured out about that pee blame story. you remember that? well tucker max's site was redone a while ago and the stories were all copied over from the old one. it was written and was posted much earlier than yours but when it was transfered they just put up the date of the day rather than the date it was originally posted. not that i even give a slight shit, but it was something i noticed while i was reading through them again the other day. i knew something was amiss during that scandal.

Chair, hands and useless feet down as long as I can still move the thing on my own or at least steer it. Because I am who I am, my chair would be gas powered and cruise at highway speeds.
MS Sucks. If she hasn't gotten one, make her get an MRI to ensure it is in fact MS. Just do it. I know of two cases of brain tumors misdiagnosed as MS. Neither worked out well but could have if diagnosed in time.

That's a tough call.
The wheelchair isn't as freedom-restricting these days as it used to be. I couldn't imagine being blind, but then I've grown up around a paraplegic and quadriplegic, so I'm a bit desensitized to the challenges there.
I'd pick the chair, just because it's the unknown of being blind that would scare me. Never being able to read a book the same way again, never being able to watch a movie or see a sunset.

I sincerely hope she gets better. Chemo is some really nasty stuff, and has a boatload of side effects. I hope boatload didn't remind you of fish. . .
My wife suffered through 48 weeks of interferon and ribavirin, a chemo regimen designed to kill Hepatitis C. It lowered her readings for two months, but then it came back.
The side effects were thinning hair and the destruction of about 90% of the enamel on her teeth, not to mention the mental confusion. I hope the process they want to put your lady through has no serious side effects beyond those you stated.
I see the humor you put in your post, and sometimes that is the only way to approach something like this without going insane. Good luck.
I would choose the wheelchair. If I have my eyes I can still read. Fuck audio books. Reading breaks free the imagination.

Both! HAR! Has anyone said that? I didnt' look to see. I hope I'm the first. I just popped in here read your article and said out loud "you know it would be both witty and exceptionally funny if I said both and nobody else did. Everyone would think I'm a cool guy with a sharp wit and then I would get that record deal/comedy career up and going. They would laud over me for years for that one I bet. Cause what I'm doing is fresh new territory. Edgey like a mountain man!"
Then I thought "yeah"
and then I thought "boy handicaps are funny and I like making fun of them."
after that it was just a load of fun and excitement. give me a buzz sometime and we can chat about this further cause, I tell ya, I could go on and on.

ps - I would (without any hesitation) agree to the wheelchair - knock wood that horrible choice isn't something I am ever required to consider.
Mind you, I would rather be dead than blind. If we are choosing.
I'm sure if I were to go blind I would figure out some way of existing - but the idea of it terrifies me.

She loves seamen and their wares.

As do I.
Also, I would rather be blind. The complications of immobility can be life-threatening. Christopher Reeve didn't die of BLINDNESS.

I'd choose the wheelchair over blindness, but I think I'd rather be blind than deaf.
My aunt has had MS for probably 25 years now. She has her ups and downs, but I remember most of the hospitalization and immobility that I was aware of taking place in the years immediately after her diagnosis. She just turned 50, and she's currently walking with no assistance. I should probably give her a call.

I'd rather be a Barnsley supporter.
Barnsley kicked my ass and yours.
Much as it pains me as a Chelsea man, I hope they lift the cup.

Do you have any links about that treatment you are talking about?

"...a ground breaking chemotherapy treatment designed to 'reboot' the immune system. Hopefully she'll be accepted."
hopefully it wasn't designed by microsoft.
oh, and bad news I'm afraid, but then you probably know. Gerrard's pulled up with a hamstring injury after newcastle. a BAD one.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAAA!!!!!

you shouldn't have coddled those idiots.
obviously the bitch was only half listening to you anyway, and then had to go and tell her pal so she could show him how cool she was. how down with being open and diversity sensitive or some such bullshit. she obviously just has an overwhelming desire for black dick and thinks all white boys are racists.
what a fucking whore.
i hope you didn't tip her at all.
and i'd rather be in the chair i guess. so much of how we operate on a day to day basis is based off of our ability to see. most places, here anyway, accomodate wheelchairs. and if they don't you can sue. the cash cow potential of being in a wheelchair is HUGE.
