Hi, everyone. I haven't ben here in awhile. My mom has bulbar onset als and has ben in the hospital with pneumonia for 4 weeks. She is now in a nursing home for rehab. They did a trach and she will be on vent support at night and maybe some daytime too. She will be coming to live with my husband and I and my Dad too. We just bought a house while she was in the hospital because I can not let her live in a nursing home. She is doing well. She has had a peg tube since August of last year. My question is, how do you deal with cooking for others and having to eat in front of those who can't. I cannot eat in front of my mother. She tells me she is fine but I just can't do it and now I am going to have to take care of her and cook for everyone. I gues I am just looking for ways to cope with this...for me and for her.
