3rd Reiki session completed. I love it. The website you sent to help me choose an instructor was god's grace. I was drawn to a perfect fit. I'll be going often for a few weeks as the after effects of my fall are getting solo much better since seeing her that I want to keep the momentum going. I am so glad I asked you about it and that you directed me where to go when I was lost in the Internet!

thank you so much, I will definately be in touch. Thanks for all your support over this difficult time. It has been a horrible few days.

Hey there Punkin! I've dropped some weight but only about 5 lbs in the two years since diagnosis. Not bad. When the time comes for a peg I should put on several pounds. I won't go below 90. I'm glad you gained! Love and hugs to you!

what gorgeous albums - and such fabulous looking people you have around you... how special

have you posted pics of your paintings i will just look now

goodness i hd to get several posts to get me one post to you...reading from bottom up is prob way to go

i am doing a series of work with a little book to go with them that virbally illusrate what "behind the paintings" once all done and they all come together as i hope i might just post them all up on a specific site that can display the as a body of work - i have logged at blogger - but really i want something more artful - i will figure it in time i hope... im just running out of puff and gotta "pull my finger out' and go for it.. i am blessed in that my right arm i would guess is now about 70% useless but left arm is still good enough to slowly finish them... perhaps a revive session at my brothers batch will do the trick

Ottoawa - l love to paint, infact i gave my easel to a friend 18 months ago as i was finding it too hard to paint with hands above the waist/shoulders...so much there that i notice -fine lines etc - but i have been leaning to paint in a different way (to get around what i can no longer do... hope it makes makes the paintings even better with various techniques. Somedays i wonder if i will finish them ...

- i think i will go visit my younger brother for some belly laughs hes such a gem and an amazing attitude to life.. he has a batch on an island where the snapper. paua, crays,pipis, alll sorts of fish out of the water are caught daily - its an amazing diet for als i have already bought a mincer as i figure from the last time i was over there the paua could be a little hard going with the chew - paua is so good for you - i have researched health benefits and i think there is much more to be learned about them - there diet is essentially seaweed - so loads of sea air strong positive people around me a hammock to flop on... and out door wood fired bath that i hope he has finished making the views ar lovely fromhsi place -no power wood fired stove - due to a great wet back -hot showers - but evening time its all candle light ... so many native birds and gentle bush walks - yes i have just convinced myself i will go for a week

oh how special your post is thank you - yes strength and respite - emotional/spiritual strength especially Hugs to you for your kind words... what a journey and most certainly one that i want to maintain and grow in grace, love and understanding... even typing this now i think "go lightly" one needs to lighten up a little. !

No, actually, I've gotten over my anxiety and I guess the only reason I'm still here is to help out others with theirs. I realize that I may have seemed overanxious in my previous threads, and I was, but thanks to you and others, I've become reasonably confident that I don't have ALS and am no longer making serial visits to the neurologist, nor am I making or continuing more of my own threads on here.

I take it you're back!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful trip. Post photos ♥

Hi Elaine, Thanks for congrats, be grandchild number four for me, this one's with my eldest daughter, first baby for her..
We are playing the waiting game...regarding the tube, now drs want to discuss everything some more,
and we have a meeting with them Nov 7th. Guess we may get a date after that..but in the meantime, Clive's wavering and getting weaker..
He is so fed up..
Glad you had a great time, bet you are worn out..but worth it eh?
I told you to pack your long-johns..
Happy days to you all. Mair x

Sorry, just read your message, I'll go to ebay to have a look.

Maybe the ALS sociaty can provide some other equipment, but cough assist.

Take care!
