PSP has finally taken my Step Mum away

[tractorboy]

On Wednesday, my Step Mum finally passed away in hospital after her long battle with PSP. Over the last few months she deteriorated to the point of hardly having any physical capabilities and about a month ago she developed pneumonia from which she never recovered fully from.  She was a beautiful lady inside and out and will be missed by everyone.

I am not really a poster in here but I would sincerely like to thank those that do, because I read the posts regularly over the last 2 or 3 years and the information and support that was put in here allowed me to he to remain focussed on helping my Dad take the right direction when symptoms of PSP evolved and also emotionally too which is just as important. So my thanks to you all.

So to all who are currently having to deal with PSP either as a sufferer or carer, stay strong, fight for all the help you can and cherish every moment life gives.

My Step Mum agreed a while back to donate her brain for research into PSP so hopefully the legacy she will leave behind will be to help the future.

My heartfelt thanks to you all.

Hi Paul,  I am really sorry to hear about you Stepmum.  May she rest in peace, finally free from this evil disease.

Your legacy to her, is to make sure your Dad survives this final hurdle that PSP has put in front of him!

On behalf of future PSP sufferers, we thank her for the donation of her brain and hope that soon, PSP will be kicked in to the long grass, where it belongs!!!

Lots of love

Heady
