will keep in touch on this thread so look out for it! We have been away for three weeks touring around Scotland, just now at daughters at Consett and going home tomorrow. Haven't stopped really since I was diagnosed, just wanted to go around and see family and friends before it kicked in. But it hasn't kicked in yet.........! speak soon xx

A year ago, I was on this forum trying to understand why my health was playing me up, Eventually in mid March 2014 I was diagnosed with bulbar onset motor neurone disease and will never forget the support I got from so many of you. The Icebucket Challenge is all around us and if anyone of you did the challenge or donated, I would just like to thank you on behalf of all us folk with MND, our carers and our family and friends. I have almost lost my ability to speak now, I have a text to speech application on my IPAD, I have a magic stick to help propel me along and a wheelchair waiting in the garage for the future. But I am not downhearted. While I am relatively mobile, we have been dashing up and down the country visiting special family and friends and special places. In fact, we have had a really good time with lots of fun and laughter. So, for anyone who has got involved, thank you so much xx
