not only of the HD kind but the normal(normal ? what's normal when you have HD?)
Went to the swallowing clinic and speech therapy at UBC I was hoping they'd be giving me some new exercises I could use when my brain and lips aren't working together . They said no it's just the progression of this disease . They did test my swallowing different things and gave me advice for meals and how to avoid choking.
They did say again that even when I can't talk I'll still be able to sing so that is very cool.
Emotionally had some challenges this month ..need to keep the positive stuff going I do want to live as long as I can so I need to surround myself with good stuff
I think the blue moon must have impacted the people here too lots of craziness this last week..
David passed away
we all said good by to David - in different ways---- it was very hard he was such a healthy vital man who enjoyed life and for him to suffer the way he did seem so very wrong.
as always I am blown away by the kindness of friends and family
I have to keep my eye on good stuff not the things that do impact me but hanging on for a cure so I can drive again and have a life again. All I know is that I do the best I can to hang in there...
I want to learn more songs, eat more muffins , laugh with my grandchildren , learn how to crochet, go out for coffee with friends, going to Mtl next summer so I have a goal to stay as healthy as I can
thanks again for all the kindness and good thoughts
love you all
Kath
