Hi Carol and welcome to the forum. You've had a basinful over the couple years or so and certainly didn't need an MND diagnosis on top of that. Although, actually I don't think there's anyone who needs it! My condolences on the loss of your husband. I hope you have found a way of coping with that - I know how awful that can be.

This forum really is an amazing community - the support and encouragement is so freely given. I find that it helps me a lot. There is also much experience and knowledge that can be tapped into, so always feel free to ask any questions.

Welcoming hugs from me. ((((()))))

Hi Carol and welcome to the forum;

Sorry to hear of your journey and your husbands passing in November.

I do wonder how it has progressed since Diagnoses. Hospices are normally good places for us.

Please feel free to ask any questions or share things with us.

Best wishes, Terry

Hi Carol and a warm welcome to the forum,

I am so very sorry for your diagnosis and for the loss of your husband. It must be very hard for you to keep positive. I hope you have family around you to support you.

The forum is a good place for emotional support and practical advice from people who really understand so it's great you've posted.

Take Care of yourself,
Love Debbie x

Hi Carol and a warm welcome to the Forum.

I'm so sorry about your husband, what a truly rough year you've had.

It's good to hear you're being well looked after by your hospice and I hope you've got support from family and friends too.

Take care.

Hi Carol, welcome to our forum. I'm sorry about your husbands passing in November. You have certainly had a horrible couple of years. It's good that you go to a day hospice. Do you have carers or family to help at home? Take care, Lynne
