In the past 2 weeks I was diagnosed with ALS, had to stop working permanently, have found out that we need to move (accessibility issues), are planning a trip to Italy, sold our second car, Travis has been sent a notice for jury duty and now he has the stomach flu. Hmmmmm amazing what life throws at you. Question is what do we throw back?
I am very grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, support & invitations from our family & friends.
My parents are now with us for the week and have been helping us out. If you know them they are in go go go planning mode!
I will be visiting the ALS clinic for the first time on Monday for a physical with the doctor. Later that week I will go back to see an occupational therapist to help with "equipment" I might need for Italy. They told me I should use a wheelchair for the airport as the travel will tire me out but I want to be walking for as long as I can!!! I will go back to the clinic on October 21 for what the nurse tells me will be a day of being told things "I don't want to hear" , how inspirational! Well, I'm going to go to Italy the next day so what better way to dissociate, deny, distract, delay etc. etc. with the therapy speak.
So I forgot to mention that I don't read blogs, and haven't ever written one before so I apologize if this is not what you expected! I figured that I would just do what I do which is to talk to much and say whatever it is that is on my mind!
Peace Out!
