It was another beautiful day! Yesterday I mentioned that this month is ALS Awareness month. I forgot to mention that when you buy something from Peggy Chun's Gallery, a portion of the proceeds go to ALS research, so...Happy Shopping!
Today I attended Physical Therapy in Aina Haina. My therapist, Matt, put me through a grueling, hard session of upper body exercises. The exercises were hard for me but it would probably be a breeze for you. It's incredible to watch your muscles weaken.
I also attended an appointment with my internist, Dr. Davis, who is coordinating my medical treatment. It looks like I will be progressing to the next stage of ALS in the near future of having a peg (feeding tube). One thing on our aggenda is to help me to eat foods that are fattening because the more calories, the greater longevity for ALS patients. So malasadas, here I come!
Through out the challenges, life has been wonderful.
We do have some fun in the process of this disease. Glizza and I had a wonderful mother's day lunch followed by a mani pedi.
Please keep our friend, John Henderson, who was critically injured in a biking accident in your throughts and prayers. So all of you bikers out there, please be careful!
Goodnight Bella, who is living in Bali. Goodnight Spike, who is currently in Australia. Nana loves you!
Aloha, Vi

ReplyDeleteBella has her extended day trial today and just loved it. She was insistent that she bring a peanut butter sandwich for her lunch! smile. She is super happy.
Bella has her bedroom being re done tomorrow. New paint, new closet and hopefully a bunk bed! I am still designing it to be made above her current bed, so that’s still a maybe.
Been wanting to get her closet for ages. She’ll have her own mirror with a desk place to put all her head bands and stuff. She is really excited!
