GREGORY CASTILLO \/ THE REPORTER
Lift Off: Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s routine of getting into bed consists of being fitted with a set of support straps his care giver places on him. He is then raised by a Hoyer lift 5 feet in the air that gently places him down removing strain from his limbs. Mu\u00f1oz considers the routine activity as a highlight of his day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Five year\u2019s ago doctors told Germ\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz he was supposed to be dead by now. But Mu\u00f1oz, who has Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is far from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people die within three years. I\u2019ve been alive for five [years] and three months,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI know there\u2019s a purpose. As I get weaker my faith gets stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diagnosed in 2006, the disease has robbed Mu\u00f1oz of most of his movement. The condition, a terminal illness of the nerve cells that controls voluntary muscle movement, has left Mu\u00f1oz, the chairperson of the department of social sciences at Wolfson Campus, immobile.<\/p>\n

He can\u2019t move his torso or limbs. His biggest fear is that he will lose his voice and suffocate to death.<\/p>\n

The only thing he can control are his head and neck. But his smile is forever moving.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m blessed I can still chew my food. I can blink and breathe. I can watch TV, see my family,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI can\u2019t move but I can feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mu\u00f1oz first felt something was wrong in 2005. He started losing his breath easily. And once, when he tried to open a plastic water bottle he was unable to. When a co-worker opened it with ease, he knew something wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew what I had. I would Google my symptoms and everything pointed to [Lou Gehrig’s Disease],\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cHowever, I ignored it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eventually, the signs became overwhelming. His right leg became gimpy, and he lost control of his right and left arms as well as his left leg. By 2008 he could no longer walk.<\/p>\n

His wife of 38 years, Piedad Mu\u00f1oz, massages his arms and legs at night to improve circulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife cries for me,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI haven’t shed a tear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Piedad said her husband\u2019s illness has made major changes in their lifestyle. Mu\u00f1oz can no longer travel to places he enjoyed visiting like Europe, South America and Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to know that if his nose itches, I have to scratch it,\u201d Piedad said. \u201cBut when I said I was in love with him, there was no going back. If I were to do it all over again, I would.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thirty one-year-old Jose Miguel Fonseca is Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s caregiver six days a week. He logs more than 60 hours on the job.<\/p>\n

Fonseca\u2019s responsibilities include bathing, dressing and feeding Mu\u00f1oz. He is also responsible for brushing his teeth, giving him air using a breathing apparatus, and takes him to the restroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know every crevice of his heart,\u201d Fonseca said. \u201cOver the past two years he\u2019s taught me humility and true faith, you know the type that shines no matter what bad thing happens to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

A typical day for Mu\u00f1oz consists of returning from work around 4 p.m. and going to bed at eight.<\/p>\n

To get into bed he uses a hoyer lift sling that is controlled by his caregiver. The machine lifts Mu\u00f1oz\u00a0 about five feet in the air before placing him on his bed.<\/p>\n

In Dec. 2010 Mu\u00f1oz purchased an electric wheelchair. It is his third chair, the previous ones have been manual.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing in a wheelchair is a piece of cake,\u201d he said. \u201cIts bothering people I can\u2019t stand.\u201d Despite the circumstances, Mu\u00f1oz rejoices.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time my grandson comes over he just loves to press the button,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI can\u2019t be thinking about my arms and legs, my grandson is laughing with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before his diagnosis, Mu\u00f1oz, a 1968 graduate of\u00a0\u00a0 Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, enjoyed playing basketball every Tuesday at his alma mater. He also volunteered at several places, coaching football and baseball.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I miss most is being active in the office. I used to challenge my students with who can do more push-ups,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI always did about 45 non-stop. It was my way of encouraging my students to stay in shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mu\u00f1oz was born in Santiago de Cuba. He arrived in the United States in 1962, just one year after the Bay of Pigs invasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we had nothing and my mom couldn’t afford me, she gave me to an orphanage, I was eleven.\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cSo to stay away from the delinquents, I would play sports. Lots of them\u201d<\/p>\n

Mu\u00f1oz is scheduled to retire from MDC on Aug. 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing to work is what keeps me alive,\u201dMu\u00f1oz said. \u201cFor some its poison, for me its a joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Piedad fears Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s absence from the workplace will send him spiraling into depression.<\/p>\n

However, Mu\u00f1oz says he has plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to go to church daily,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cI want to go to hospitals, and if I still have a voice,\u00a0 visit people and make them feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mu\u00f1oz also knows that things can get worse. He is afraid of losing his voice, so he is working on a list of things he needs, so his wife can help him if he loses his ability to verbally communicate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever is gone, is gone,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said. \u201cWhatever is gonna happen, hasn’t happened yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
