another good day

Today was our monthly ALS support group. Last month it was the day after I had the gall bladder surgery and before the tracheotomy. There are always some new people but also plenty of regulars. It was really good to see everyone and I had lots of great welcomes. These are people who really know best what the hard choices are. Now it is time for my next adventure. Tomorrow I will have my first trach change. I must admit that I am a little bit nervous. The doctor wants to do the first one at the hospital. This is done on a monthly basis. They say in 6 months Dave will be able to do it at home. Now on a happy note. Quincy is doing much better.He even ate some dog food. Had a little bribe to get him started but he did eat. He is still on some meds so is pretty mellow. At least he is walking a bit and his tail is up. Dave gets to take him to the veterinarian tomorrow. With all this medical stuff it is no wonder Dave gets tired.
