Hi everyone - I just joined today. Don't even know if I'm posting in the correct forum?
Anyway, we're in the UK. My brother was just diagnosed in late April/early May this year with MND. This has progressed really swiftly and he now uses a wheelchair.
He's been living at the other end of the UK (we're in the North East - he was right down in the West Country). His home was on a back-to-nature Community co-operative, living off the land - all environmentally friendly and ecologically sound! He was living his dream and this disease struck! We've been through to visit a few times and it's a fantastic place - but it's for people who are really in good health and are fit and strong.
He's finally agreed to come back up to the North East. back to our original home town (I'm about 25 miles away) and our other brother has found him a suitable ground floor apartment.
This is really tough for him because he's giving up on something that meant a great deal to him - he wanted to live and die at the place where he now is.
He comes back up here in about 10 days' time.
Any tips or advice?
