an MS caregiver's recent comments

"Stuart, Where do you live? I will be doing some gigs in Florida west palm beach, Ocala, Fort walton beach,tampa and Big pine key. not sure of the dates they are for a Motorcycle club I hang with and thought I seen you post you live in FL??

I will play my heart out for you maybe even bring and old axe to smash on stage representing my way of saying MS sucks, break a few strings make my fingers bleed and rock your azz off.

You give me hope and inspiration I DO NOT have MS but my GF of 35 years has MS I am just a lowly caregiver and LOVE doing this job I took an oath with GOD to take care of her. you ROCk my friend !
"Joe."

I asked Joe to be careful with that axe and also I mentoned that it is HE and all other caregivers that actually ROCK.. Not me... Caregivers ARE so important . I asked about his GF (girlfriend)

And then Joe responded again:
"Stuart, She has trouble reading but I do read to her all the Ms news and the blogs you post as well as any other matter posted, it is my JOB and feel free to publish anything I post ! No worries on snashing the axe i buy them cheapo's at rummage sales get them sounding good then if the cause is strong and my resolve of this MS issue is STRONG smashing any guitar on stage for the better being of getting donations or just plain attention to MS makes it all worth while.
I am looking at some PR people to promote what was an idea that has now became a BIG DEAl and out of my hands . "MS is no less" it was to be a local fundraiser but I have had many Bands BIG and small offer to play the GIG and it could become my crown jewel and be a WORLDWIDE affair with the correct planning and logistics. Mike Moore Filmaker is from my Hometown of Davison,michigan he has offered to help too. have to get out and do some laundry and will not be back on until evening .
Have agreat day Friend, Joe :)"

So for all reading this, why did I post this? To show you that for the many with superlative caregivers, I want to say thank you...

Whether MS patients or caregivers, I like to know that I am helping empower people with information.
My thanks again to Joe, for communicating with me and letting me know we enjoy much of the same music.
( I often post on Facebook, my favorites)

BTW -- wouldn't it be great if we can get Michael Moore to do a documentary on the rising costs of our ms meds and the lack of government assistance???

For Caregivers needing assistance, there are many caregiver networks available to you. Use the internet to search of contact me for places to contact. -- Regards, Stuart
