I am Judith latter stages of PBC 82 years old now in full care past 10 months.

Unable to walk, use my arms and have to be feed, Eat well and capable to go out in a wheelchair on public transport.

Last year due to internal bleeding I received 7 units of blood three operations and time in hospital, Last operation has stopped the bleeding that was 11 moths ago.

every so often I go to sleep for a few days brain fog, and a by little my mind is slipping.

I know my family and remember a lot of my past, sometimes say funny things.

I though I was only going to last a few months that was two years ago, made 61 years married and two great grand children.

So it is living life day by day.
