I just need to rant and ramble for a bit, clear my head. My mom was diagnosed approx 1 year ago, with symptoms for years before diagnosis. She has little to no use of both arms now, some strength in her legs, she is still chewing, swallowing, breathing, but noticable decline in all three, on her own. Depending on who you talk to some say this progression is fast while others disagree. I keep clinging to the fact shes still chewing and swallowing. I am still such a wide range of emotions on a day to day basis. I imagine in ways I am already grieving (lack of better wording sorry) the mom I used to have, then I feel horrible for feeling that way. I hate the fact that this isnt going to get any easier, things arent going to get better! I hate what the disease has done to my mom and my family! I hate the fact that I dont have any answers! I hate ALS!
