    Have a friend with a serious neurological illness and it never fails to amaze me how she copes with it. She raised 3 kids who are now teenagers. She never complain's and always puts the needs of others before herself She never has a bad word to say about anybody although there are a few close family members who dont bother their arse even calling to see her and I know for a fact this lady helped one of these people big time when they were in need. She is always in good form and you could call on her any time and she would make you feel welcome. Her husband is the complete oppisite never stops complaining about everything and anything. How can he be like this when he sees what his wife cope with day in day out. She says she has no choice but get on with her life the best way she knows how

    Hard to answer when we don't know what the illness is. There are a lot of different neurological disorders.

    Don't think it would really make a difference what the condition is. It is just the way she copes with it

    No, I wouldn't cope.

    In fairness, most Mammies cope with whatever hand is dealt them

    Being a mammy gives you strength you didn't even know you had!

    She sounds like a good woman.

    The best and strongest woman I ever knew she has gone through times when she couldn't speak and other times when she couldn't move
