Jo Beth was jerking around like those small wooden stick puppets you pull the string on to make them dance. Jo Beth's jerks began at home, but soon they were happening at work, too. In the middle of a meeting, during a presentation, she might suddenly start grunting and jerking. When she went to the dentist, the first probes initiated the first jerks. Any time Jo Beth was surprised, she began to buck. (With her nerves in a high state from the monstrous noise of her next door neighbors, Jo Beth did a lot of bucking.) Crud. How many symptoms did this dang disease have, anyway? Back to the doctor she went. |
