Hi all - Checking in on a Wednesday, after a few months away. Good to hear how everyone is doing. We didn't have much of a winter here in Southern California - was hoping for a good ski/snowboard season, as I never know when it will be my last (other than the Steve method!) But alas, we had nearly no snow this season in California, after one huge storm over Xmas, where we got stranded in Tahoe and couldn't enjoy the mountain anyway. But nothing really Jan-Mar, which was disappointing.
My progression continues at its slow place, though my right arm/hand has definitely progressed this year. My doctors noticed it at my last clinic visit. Keyboarding and holding things with my right hand is now challenging - but I'm being lazy about adaptive techniques. Or maybe just stubborn. The rest of me is holding up OK though. Legs still good, though my left one is slowly starting something. But super slow going thankfully. Speech and swallowing still good.
My oldest son graduates from college this month. I don't know where the time went - he was only born in 2000. Wasn't that, like, yesterday? Middle son enjoying freshman year at Cal Poly SLO. Youngest boy still at home, high school sophomore. My goal has been to retain the ability to climb the stairs of my 2-story house, thus enabling us to remain in place, until the last boy leaves the nest. So far that seems reachable, though of course one never knows with this disease.
