Thoughts from a PALS (Person with ALS): I'M NOT DRUNK DAMMIT!
I was diagnosed with the bulbar form of ALS on 10/18/10. As it gets harder for me to communicate vocally, I decided to start a blog. The link to my blog appears above. The blog includes my first thoughts and how I feel now (2 months later). What it doesn't include are those thoughts still to come. As I read some of the blogs on this website, I realize that this disease is going to get more and more difficult to deal with. I'm going to continue to try and stay positive and make the rest of my life meaningful and joyful as it was before this ALS diagnosis. One of my favorite quotes has always been, "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain." I'd love to hear your stories and and advice on how to continue dancing in my rain as the disease progresses.
