anger

This isn't directly to do with MND, but I'm sure others have run into this type of thing before when dealing with insurance companies. A while back, I was told I needed a lift recliner to help me in all sorts of ways- mostly for help with edema and comfort while sitting. I looked at our...

This diagnosis is worse than having a bucket of ice water tipped over your head. The detail of this sticky can be summarized by these steps which are not necessarily in the same order for everyone: 1. Absorb the shock 2. Find support systems 3. Tell people as appropriate 4. Put legal affairs in...

Climbing the mountain. People looking for answers for questions they do not know. To speak when no one listens. Unable to ask for forgiveness because of your pride. Unable to forgive, even when you want to. We live finite lives, and waste most of it. We forget how to touch. We limit those who...
