Sippin coffee on Saturday morning

The sun is bright today but they are calling for an ice storm after midnight. I am ready for spring. Our family has discussed selling our house and down sizing. I can't do the things I love or maintain the property the way I did prior to the ALS. I have had this place since 1999 and the memories will always be cherished. We have to do what is right for us and practical considering my limitations. So again, one day at a time and put it in God's hands. I have an appointment with a pulmonary specialist on March 9th to check my breathing status. I may have to consider a bipap machine to use at night. This does strengthen my diaphragm and in the long haul it helps. I watched two movies yesterday with Vicki and Erica. They were "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Departed" and I would recommend them both. Well again take care and God bless. Lee

Time to start my online journal

Today the temperature is going to get into the fifty's. A welcoming site after the frozen tundra for the last few weeks. Yesterday Vicki and I went to Richmond Va. to look at speech equipment. You know the machines that speak for people if there is a loss of voice. I am not ready for one but it is good to get this done while you are able. I want to tell you the only way to cope with this disease is faith in God. This life is temporary and we all are passing through. I said earlier that this disease can take me physically but never take my soul. My family and friends are another reason I can cope. Many have out poured there feelings and services and I appreciate it immensely. I'm still getting around with a cane. I feel good and just thank God for this day he has given me. Take care and God bless. Lee
