The Rollercoaster - not in Disneyland

Going up and down. The PSP Rollercoaster keeps me up at night and down in the day. Keeps me in it's web hanging. Hard to take it day to day and hour by hour, but tonight there is a respite, Charles is quiet and not gasping for breath. Until the next dip in the rollercoaster.

Goodnight.

Cutter,

Well said ...I am on the same ride at the same theme park...6yrs in and 3 yrs diagnosed ...mobility is worse everyday,swallowing becoming more challenging, and the beat goes on! Even when you sleep you worry ( I do) ..Memories are the only respite ,and they are beautiful, and sustaining . Have trouble deciding whether the END will be bearable or devistating...but I KNOW it's going to be a relief and FINAL...jeff...hang in there as I will

Almost like looking into the mirror enzo. Same exactly and yes fearing the END. Charles is so tired it isn't worth trying, though he still tries. It can't continue.

Love,

Cuttercat
