I'm shocked at how naive I've been as the wife of a PALS. Even though my husband is doing good and apparently slow progressing (not bragging), I'm shocked at how much this disease has impacted our day-to-day life. Scoot will be retiring at the end of this year and I continue to work full time while trying to maintain household crud....UGGH! He's progressing nonetheless and I'm left to pick up ALL the slack. I get tired. There are simply things he can no longer do~ We finally had a "come to Jesus meeting" over the yard work when he thought I should learn to edge the front and back yard with a weed eater! I finally had to tell him-HELL NO"! We CAN afford somebody to do the yard and I absolutely was not doing it. I don't mind picking up the slack to a point...., however! Despite joining this forum right after he was diagnosed, I still feel like I'm clueless! Once again, I wanna send out kuddos to those that have walked before me on this path and those that are journeying with me! I know I'm strong and will be able to handle what's ahead, but it's scary and daunting nonetheless! Hugs and luv to all!
