Dennis woke me up this morning with a song. He was off key by at least 2 1/2 notes, but he made me laugh. He is feeling better, much better, thank you very much.
Today, he and Raquel walked over the highway to the Medical Supply Store to fill his prescription for a saliva extractor. He actually walked all the way there and half of the way home, before needing to sit in the chair and be pushed. Tommorow he will return to the same clinic to have his catheter changed. His plan is to walk, once again.
Dennis also signed up for 2 groups at the Courage Center. The Courage Center is a center for advocating and providing for the disabled. They offer all types of classes, including several sports related groups, which interested Dennis.
He purchased some type of floor bike type pedaling contraption to keep his legs strong. He is lifting weights with Raquel. He walks in the house most of the time, always with the support of his chair or his walker.
Dennis has decided that he wants to live to 70. His prognosis is to live for 1 to 7 years, but he has determined that he will beat the odds and live beyond his life sentence.
Hooray for this man's courage and fortitude. I admire his desire to work as hard as possible to live a long and happy life. I do love this man. How could I do anything else?
Until Tomorrow,
Ann and Dennis
Living with Shy-Drager, Multiple System Atrophy and Dennis' will to live.
