Brainhell.

I just found your blog 2-3 days ago and have probably spent 10 hours
at least reading.

Your story is riveting.

You are so very very bright, well educated, loving...a great father.

I am sorry that you are suffering.

I wish I had something witty or insightful to say. All I know is,
your story has changed the way I'm thinking about my own life right now.

I hope this note finds you well and relaxed. I hope your lovely wife
is OK.

Love to you and thanks for sharing your incredible experience.

I wish I could have a chat with you about life, politics, parenting,
etc.

YOU ARE A GOOD ONE

much you can;t knnocw.

this morning during thhhe transfer to wheelchair my airway was highly obstructed. mmy helper asked if 911 shouldbecalled, but i pointed to 'lifft forehead'and thenn i couldbreathe.lllllllll

my clumsy,weakk handmight be able to operate a remote controll, but hurry. b

hope not to jinx it, but the dailybout of coughing and suction appears tohgave faded ropy,dark and crinkled.

i'm back! (ihope). it was only partly the fault of thePOS,the rest being my fault....

on the 24thh i will have been blogging four year s.

went 11 days sans poo, but without pain.after several doses lax, helper said 'if you could sell it, you'd mafk8e $500.'

let's just say that when icount my blessinngs, my results vvary from yours.

aalmost any other one would abandon me,coninng up with a rationalization, bbut my wife is made of steel.
