At least there's a name for the problem now...
Maternal Grandmother has Lou Gehrig's diease.
Only she got the ultra-special kind that comes with (and I'm not kidding) "please kill me" pain.
Fom everything I've read, there's a 10% chance I get to look forward to my mother, and someday, me, my sister, or my brother, having this.

Yay, mortality.

Tomorrow there will be log-rolling and tequila. It won't solve everything, but it's a great distraction.
