22/07/2023 - 'Thank you' by David

Thank you so so much for all your kind words and wishes following my diagnosis this week. It really is a strange feeling being given such disastrous news and obviously I have felt negative emotions like anger, frustration and hopelessness but amazingly I also feel confident, determined and postive.

I have the chance to make every day count with my family and friends and I now look at life from a different perspective. 

As Alice and I walked home from just hearing the worst news possible, it started to rain and and minutes later it turned to a torrential downpour. As people turned their collars and scurried along for cover, I slowed down, turned my face up to the sky and let it soak into me and it felt good, really good! 

There will come a day when I will never feel the rain, sun, wind or snow on my face ever again so until that day comes I will grab and embrace everything with a smile x

11/05/2025 - 'London marathon, the view from the top and sleep apnoea' by David

Image
Running the London marathon has always been an ambition of mine, but I was never successful in attempts via the ballot over the years. Then came my Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, and I thought my chance to take part in the biggest and best marathon in the world had gone.  We then discovered assisted running with a specialist wheelchair, and after taking part in the Great Bristol, Great Scottish, and Southampton 10k's, Alice and I decided to apply for London. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in this year's assisted wheelchair ballot, so we booked a hotel, and had plans to be part of the MNDA cheer squad.  However, after Alice emailed the organisers detailing my story, and with assistance from the Whizz Kidz charity and Martin Davy from Delichon, the company that made our running wheelchair, on appeal, we were given a place and under beautiful spring sunshine, my dream came true. We travelled up on Friday and settled into our hotel. Having grown up on a sleepy island, I lov...

26/01/2025 - 'MND is not fun' by David

Motor neurone disease is not fun. I consider myself lucky that my symptoms are progressing slowly in comparison to the average sufferer of my age, and I would like to believe it's due to looking after my body all my life. All that running, football, cycling and swimming must count for something surely? My decline is none the less, very disappointing, and also, so frustrating. I need my stick around the house, and climbing and descending the stairs is not easy now. The other day, Alice and I were in the kitchen and I felt myself falling backwards so I shouted to Alice and she held me up. My legs feel as though they are going to buckle under me, and I know that they will sometime. Until then though, I will plod on until the wheelchair becomes my new best friend.  My hands are weakening too, so things like tucking in my shirt, getting dressed, putting socks or gloves on is not easy any more. Alice and I went to McDonalds this week for a McPlant and I couldn't hold my burger or pic...

26/05/2025 - 'I've gone from feeling fine to just 'okay' by David

Image
When someone asks me how I'm feeling, I used to say that I was fine, like all Brits do, even though we are sometimes far from fine. These days, I just say that I'm okay, which I think, accurately represents how my life really is, nearly two years after my diagnosis. I'm not great, but I'm not terrible.  Abi, an Occupational Therapist, has visited, and we completed a 6 monthly questionnaire about my symptoms. She documented that I'm finding it harder to turn in bed, that my limbs are very weak, and that I can no longer walk unaided and only walk about 20 steps with help.  Filipa, a Neuro Rehab Dietitian also came, and we discussed my diet, my swallow, my bowel habits, and the impending PEG feeding tube that I'm having fitted next week.  Alice and I have good days and bad days, and we've lucky enough to have had more of the former, since our lives were irrevocably changed. Recently however, events have taken us to our lowest point.  A combination of the deteri...
