Happy 25th

.

Today is our 25th Anniversary. Here's to many more!

Where were you?

Where you you that morning? What do you remember about that day?

Wow kicks off today

Our Wow group started today, we had over 100 women show up for the morning group. I am at the table on the left with my back to the camera. I wasn't sure if I would go this year, but decided to go and just make sure the new gals know of my speech impairment. I just wore the name tag that Les made for me a while back. Everyone is so welcoming and loving there. Carolyn(the leader) was happy to see me and said to let her know if I need anything. The benefits of going far out weigh the temporary discomfort. I feel silly wearing a name tag but it's the easiest way to let people know. And I'll have my ipad with me of course. Had a lot of fun Sunday andMonday with the wieiner's, too. They have the neatest personalities! And smart, too. I still ove Puff, but it's fun to have Hunk and Sadies come to visit. Les slept with then on the sofa as they are used to bedding down with people. Looking forward to Alan and Greg and their wives Mary and Yvonne coming soon.

Oregon State Fair

Les and I went to the Oregon State Fair today. It takes all day to see it all. For dinner I ate a Whopper! I miss hamburgers, lately they seem a little easier to chew. I still lag behind Les, but I ate the whole thing.
I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend.

Looking back

Wow it's hard to believe that summer is coming to a close, and that a year has passed since I first noticed a change in my body. I still don't know for sure if I have ALS, (Neuro says i do)I do know i have scleroderma and sjogrens. I only saw one person on the Internet that had both ALS and one of the other two. Either the Neuro is wrong or I am very unique. Time will tell. But God has a reason for me being here and that's good enough for me. Have a blessed week, I just want to add that I get my positive attitude from Greg and the many people I follow online.

Very fascinating artice. I feel really hard a few times in the last few years, one time so hard that I broke a rib. I've wondered if that could have had something to do with my neurological sypmtoms. And why do some people dx'd with als live for 20 years or more? There's a lot yet to be learned.
