Hi Betty, thank you for your kind comments! I think in the northern hemisphere you call my illness ALS - we in Australia call it Motor Neurone Disease. It is heartwarming to think that someone in Canada is reading my post! Fortunately not all of us have to face terminal illnesses, but in the end we all have to deal with ageing and the eventual end of our lives. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never reach your age of 86, but I am determined to live and enjoy every day left to me in any way possible. I hope your peripheral neuropathy doesn't restrict restrict your life too much. I am happy that I am leaving a legacy of four adult children, who are all kind, honourable, decent human beings, and will continue the chain of life after I am gone. I wish I could see into the future and see what happens to them in the rest of their lives! It is a beautiful, sunny late-summer afternoon here in Melbourne, Australia. I am 72, my symptoms are still pretty mild, and my philosophy is to do at least one thing I enjoy every day. This morning I had a coffee and chat with my sister-in-law...
Best wishes to you,
