ALS House Call Visit

Kristen, the nurse from MGHโ€™s ALS House Call program, came today for her trimonthly visit. All in all, it went pretty well. I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™ve had a lot of progression. My neck still causes me pain but weโ€™re going to try a new brace that may help with that. My respiratory therapist had… Continue reading ALS House Call Visit

Hard Reset

I'm really terrible at making time to post here. It's one of the many things I'm working on. It's been a hot minute since my last post, and that one was a bit, um, melancholy.

Being geographically challenged, I didn't really notice that we weren't going in a direction that would lead us to our house. Soon enough we were… Continue reading Super Nifty…Look Who’s 50!

Life Throws Lemons…

Ghosts That We Knew When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Itโ€™s a great little saying, and for the most part I try to abide by it. I believe the premise, certainly. I think we should try to find joy when and where we can. Life can be difficult, and while we canโ€™t control a… Continue reading Life Throws Lemons…

Mini Concert Weekend

My cousins came down from Maine for 5 days last week and we made the most of every moment. Of course, with Mike here the band commandeered the garage and had multiple days of band practice. They put on quite a show for the neighbors, and fortunately all the feedback we got was positive and… Continue reading Mini Concert Weekend
