Love you

I want to thank my husband of 26 and 3/4 years of loving and taking care of me. When I was first diagnosed with ALS 2 years ago I only showed a slight limp in my walk. Now I can hardly eat, nor walk or get myself up from a chair or toliet and cannot move myself in bed. The nights are hardest for both of us with me waking up every hour asking to be moved to the only 2 positions that I can sleep. Every night my beloved Husband gets up with every call and adjusts me and covers me up and adjusts the thermostat, since I am either too cold or hot, and gives me a drink. What a blessing. He takes care of me all day and runs the household, cooks, and works. If I didn"t have him I would be in a nursing home with nurses that smell of cigarettes, and I am sure they wouldn't come for ever call I made. Their would be indifferance and carelessness from some caretakers and this would be a nightmare for me. You see as I get worse I will become paralyzed by not being able to move, but I can still feel pain and discomfort on my body and my mind will be all intact. I will not lose any of my mental abilities.

I am so thankful I have a Husband that will and can take care of me through this awful nightmare we both are dealing with. Thank you sweetie and I love you more than I can express! .... suffering is made bearable by feeling your Love!!!
