For such a time as this

I also enjoy the time to myself. I like the peacefulness and ability to follow my agenda with no interruptions.

Jennifer will visit me today and bring me some banana nut bread. I’m enjoying seeing her again. She is working on our taxes paperwork.

My room is almost completely finished. Maybe I will be done by next week. I bought a door closer and will have it installed on Friday. My planter stand is still stuck in the port. I hope that includes customs. It looks like two of my tomato plants did not survive. I’ll buy more. I’ll also get some herbs.

Yesterday, I had a good dental appointment with my Mobile Dentist. He is punctual, humorous, efficient, and convenient. While he was in my room, I directed his attention to my bulletin board and four books that Miracle Man mounted book holders on. I told him that I would like him to buy my four books. He bought them. Though this was nice, it was not the best part of my appointment for teeth cleaning and tooth patching. I had the music he likes playing, and I began typing messages using my eyes and told him what I was able to do using my eye gaze technology.

He ends up having an aunt who is in a similar situation as me but by a different disease. That’s when Grace went into overdrive. His love for his aunt and my experiences and empathy meshed. I helped direct my dentist to my eye gaze technology provider and offered a second provider for comparison. I contacted the technical support and company representative, and now this family is on the way to their family member’s independence regained to some lovely level.

I’m diagnosed with ALS. I am able to accomplish what my mind conceives differently. I love my life, and I am thankful and pleased to use my experience to assist others on this journey. Simplysaidbysimon get on with living the good life as ALS – Achieving Lasting Superstar.
