    Socialising

    I actually went out out last night. After a few attempts meeting up with people that ended up me being tearful I actually did it last night.

    Make up and decent clothes lol. The hall easily accommodated my wheelchair and I dealt with my very poor speech.

    Our new wav made it possible.
    feeling fab for getting over my anxiety of people seeing my decline. X

              Thank you all. Its so hard getting over anxiety but I'm learning to not give a monkeys. I did eat small things so not that messy.

              The putting on make up left handed was funny especially my signature red πŸ’„. Took 5 attempts 🀣

                shelly21 you look lovely and well done for getting over your anxiety. I am slowly getting over my anxiety about my loss of speech. I have realised how fortunate I am to still be mobile so I need to make the most of that while I can. So pleased you had a good time. x
                Bulbar onset diagnosed Nov 21. No speech but limbs ok so far.

                  Hope its so not easy. I actually don't mind the wheelchair use etc but speech well that's a biggie. I can't estimate when my speech will fully go but I don't think it will be long.

                  I'm limited now in my wheelchair going to friends and families houses re access etc but restaurants and pubs etc I can do.
