My last day of work forever is today. It wouldn't matter what day it is, I would never be ready. #ALS has taken most of my legs and now my job. Like a ninja thief, it sneaks in to dismantle my life. Bittersweet day for sure. #endals

The only time since June 2022 I didn't think about #ALS . Went to see an AC/DC tribute band with my main squeeze. AC/DC is my favorite band. Yes, I sang along to all the songs. I couldn't dance, but I was moving my arms and woo-hooing like I always have.

Just sharing my #ALS clinic update. July 2022 and Jan 2023 45 was my score. July 2023 44. In a year, I lost less than 1% of function in the subjective areas. Flail leg subtype ALS confirmed. Neuro said the words "you will make it more than 5 years" I sure hope. #fuckals

First #ALS fall in public today. Tripped on a carpet at CVS and went down to my knees. My husband and a very kind shopper helped me up through a dead lift from the ground. I was grateful and embarrassed. No injury, just sore knees and ribs. I was ready to just live at CVS.

When I'm 64 just came on. I was singing along. My granddaughter, 7 asked me "what are you going to do when you're 64?" I didn't know what to say. So I just shrugged. Reality is I'm 46 with #ALS , probably won't see 64. #fuckals #ENDALS

Telling people I have #ALS always makes them sad. It took me months of weird walking and 100 "what's wrong with your leg" to finally say it. It is a gut punch I deliver with every person I tell. I always smile when they say "I hope you feel better soon"

I have known about #ALS since I was a kid. Listed as my biggest, and what I thought was an irrational fear, I never believed this is how I will die. Oh, the naivety of me. Even when diagnosed my sister said "our worst fears never come true" as we cried in disbelief.

I did my first dose of Relyvrio today. It smells like fruit punch, but tastes terrible. I used a straw and did as much as I could in the first gulps. As it got to the end the taste increased. As a chaser, coffee with Carmel creamer cleared my mouth of taste. Thankful always #ALS

#ALS is giving me constantly cold, nearly frozen level cold legs and feet. Nothing is able to warm them. This is the first experience with not being able to warm them up. Painful and uncomfortable. Any suggestions welcome. #ENDALS

No power since 1030 am. High winds up to 63 mph. I'm just tired of surviving things. Thankfully my #ALS does not require power. The meat wagon is still fully charged. This is ridiculous, though.

Looking to spend the anniversary of my #ALS diagnosis staring up at the big sky in Montana. Does anyone live in/near that can recommend the best town to stay in. Planning to go in June. I don't want to be in a forest, I live in PA and we have a ton. Thanks

Lymphodema clinic..."You need these wraps and they're not covered by insurance." That should be the definition of #ALS . All the things you need will not be covered by insurance.

#ALS clinic day tomorrow. That means today is filled with nerves and a big headache. Why do I hate clinic day so much? FYI, Jan 2023 score 45.

Drowning in bed lately. There is a soundtrack of grunts and noises that accompany my rolling over and getting out of bed. I have not had restful sleep in many days. #ALS just keeps bringing the hits.

Another Gen X #ALS bucket list concert. Violent Femmes in Cleveland. Such a good show. Not the best venue for a wheelchair but I could hear every word.

Dinner and a fun evening with my 3 favorite guys. My husband, son, and bonus son. ❤️ I have taken a picture of these 3 every year for almost 21 years.

Big thank you to @LiveLikeLou4 for the Lou Gehrig Day honor. My son was recognized for his Iron Horse Scholarship. @Pirates also gave 1K extra to his award. It was a pleasure to meet all the beautiful people at Live Like Lou. I am beyond humbled and grateful. #ALS awareness.

Paxlovid said to Relyvrio...hold my beer. #ALS Thankful for both, but they are in hot competition for which can be more disgusting. This is a hard week for my tastebuds.
