Three years ago today I was diagnosed with ALS. It's been two years since I last walked. It's been at least a year since I could speak clearly. My arms don't work, my hands don't work, I choke, I suffocate if I cry, I'm on drugs. I'm relatively happy, but I'm done with it. I need to get well or get dead. I'd prefer the former. Happy anniversary to me.
no comment comes that can help you in any way, except to keep you happy!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that life should be celebrated any chance possible, so with that in mind, happy 3rd anniversary. I'm glad you are still with us and continue to post!
ReplyDeleteWhy or? Why not just- I need to get well. Then there is no choice but to succeed. You have gotten rid of MOST of the drugs they have offered. Diabetes meds and blood thinners aren't really ALS drugs. Once you are up on your feet again you won't need either of those!! Very very few except those who HAVE changed their ALS diagnosis have improved their eating, movement, speech, swelling..... YOU are a daily miracle. Every day is a celebration. I am so glad you are here for me to party with.
ReplyDeleteYou may have lost your actual speech, but you haven't lost your flippant lip! haha I'd say you also have alot of starch left in your spine even though that is also associated to your lip. I'm glad we are all still celebrating your inspiring and uplifting attitude. No matter how poopy your attitude becomes Tracy........We all still love you! You can't chase us away. Nice try though.
