Karyn's View: September 2011

Welcome to my blog. I have had ALS for 10 years now.

Since I started this blog in June 2008 I've had amazing feedback. Family, friends, people from all over North America, Australia, Scotland, England, and places I can't recall, have commented, encouraged and corresponded. I had no idea when Cynthia taught me how to set this up, how much I would love posting and how many people would read it. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped propel this therapeutic exercise into a daily routine. All of you, both friends and visitors, are now part of my blog family. Welcome.

Thank you.

Such sad news--only 54 and so caring. ALS IS CRUEL.

Karyn-

Wayne passed away on August 7th - Our family would like to thank you for your friendship and support for Wayne.

I have notified patients like me of his passing and they said they would update something so if you know of anybody that is not aware yet - would you be so kind as to pass the word?

Thank you and wishing you the best,

Jim (Wayne's brother)

OUCH!

I have an upcoming date with the dentist for a root canal. The darn tooth has 3 roots.

Woe is me--again.
