Please dont get hung up on my words here. Try and hear what I'm saying. I'm not so good with expressing myself sometimes. This forum has really opened my eyes.
Many of you are unable to speak, walk, use your hands, etc. Many varieties in how this disease is affecting you. Your minds are just as the were before this dreadful disease. In the past, when I've seen people out and about with these challenges, I think down to them. Well, not down, but dont think of these people as having thoughts or ideas like before the disease affected them. It just amazes me how well some people can still get on with their lives after this dreadful disease and other diseases. I've had this stereotype in my mind of those who are terminally ill, etc. It's been totally shattered.
The intelligent posts and talking with a couple of you really has opened my eyes. Unfortunately, until you see this and other diseases first hand, it's hard to know.
Although your lives are far from easy, I've learned that it really is possible to have a satisfying life. Just because you are afflicted with all these symptoms, you can still experience fun, and be a contributing member of society.
I'd really like to thank you guys.
No I'm not drunk. LOL. Although a glass of wine would be nice now. I think I'll bring my kids to the MIL's house and have some wine there. We're working on a puzzle now. Fun stuff.
Cheers.
I'm almost ashamed to be writing this, but it really is truly amazing.
