Lenore,
Gentle brief touches and words of encouragement can not be underestimated.
The changing body image is a hard one for us PALS. I was always fit and athletic and (mostly) proud when I looked at myself in the mirror. Now I’m not sure whose body I’m looking at.
Just know that Brian is hurting inside when he thinks about his body and his limitations. Gentle touches and reassurance that you love the man inside go far.
I’ve felt a connection with Brian through many of your posts, especially with both of us being leg onset. Hang in there Lenore.
ALS is a beast. It f&&ks with our emotions.
