Good mornng
This is my first post here, will keep it short and to the point.
My name is Dave (52)
December 23 2014 my wife (Julie) (68) was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and Motor Neurone Disease (ALS). Devastating News.
I have been a full time carer from the start as I were self employed working from home. Sadly I could no longer do both so I gave up work on the 12 Dec 2014 to be able to dedicate my life to my wife 24/7.
Although on the FTD side was expected which played a prevalent part in our lives for approximately 6 years the MND-ALS was a bit of a shocker.
The reason I have come to this forum is that I would like to hear, help and share thoughts, ideas, information with similar people that are caring the same types of illnesses my lovely wife unfortunately has
Thank you (in advance)
Dave
