“…My next instalment will be about how you cope when you hear your life will be much shorter than you’d expected. All with the help of the fantastic staff here and my family.
The problem is that I can type with only one finger. But I’m hoping to be able to raise the finger to [Motor Nueron Disease] for a while longer.
