This morning I received this email message from Dr Weiss, "I went back and looked at the EMG study again. There is clearly evidence to support the idea that this is more definitively ALS, with involvement on the needle testing of muscles in the arms and trunk, and not just progressive bulbar palsy." It really doesn't change anything but it was good to know that the doctor was being thorough.
Today has been a good day. Tom was in great humor this morning and we had fun kidding around. He has better speech today. The new dosage on his meds seems to be doing its job. YEAH! Went to the dentist today AND Tom got a haircut. I almost got a pedicure but the wait was longer than I was willing to give. Tonight we are with our home fellowship group--something we always look forward to. Tomorrow our grandson Maximus (the Moose) is coming to play. Appreciating this pocket of joy--kind of like being in the eye of the storm--I understand it's very quiet there and peaceful. Just enjoying it.
"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush; it can color any situation. For every minute you are angry, sad, or anxious you lose sixty entire seconds of happiness. Between yesterday's regret and tomorrow's dream lies today's opportunity. Use it." from Barbara Johnson's Boomerang Joy

Hi Tom and Cathy!
ReplyDeleteI will try to behave in my message today, as I'm sure I stepped over the line yesterday.
Today sounds like a better day for both of you. I am sure you cherish all the good days. Funny how the events in our lives force us to slow down and appreciate the good days. We find strength for the days we need it when we never knew we were sooo strong. Isn't it wonderful what mysteries are uncovered even when we think we have lived through so much already.
Just wanted you to know I am still thinking and praying (as I always do) for all the people I love. Can you feel the group hug? Some days that is what it takes to get through the day. So, reach out and grab this hug as often as you need it. It is always there.
As always,
Love,
Dee
