    Club membership at hand

    Well, damn. My local neurologist, after two months of elimination tests, has now indicated likely NMD, with ALS being the most likely candidate. He basically kicked the can down the road and referred me to Dr. Pulley at Jacksonville Shands. We see him in late April for a second EMG and opinion...

    Just a bit over 4 month's in S/P

    Hi all. Just checking in. Nov. 4th was the 4 month anniversary of Dave's passing. I miss him every single day, but, I will admit ....... less so as time goes by. I think of him, or of phrases he would say, or things I knew he would want to talk about, multiple times per day. I have conversations...

    Nuedexta as needed?

    Question about end game planning

    Hi, this is probably the wrong place to post this, but I don't know where to put it and am comfortable in the vets threads. :) I am working on estate planning, not because I am in my end game, but because everyone should, incase they are hit by a bus. I apologize that this is a sensitive...

    Meltdown

    Well, I had a pretty epic meltdown this morning. Nothing all that significant happened, but boy did the flood gates open. DH had just called me to get him up. He asked for a good morning kiss. As I layed my head on his chest for a hug, I just completely lost it. Sobbing tears. The kind...
