Home Support
Mood:  incredulous
Topic: Huntington's Disease

Today I had my home support assement. It lasted for 4 hours. They

are going to come over every morning at 10 in the morning to take

my pills. I can’t remember the meds. They are going to come clean

and help with dinner. An Occupational Nurse will come and help us

 get bars out where they think we need them. When Trevor goes on

respite. I am going to be looked after by a member of the staff. I am

getting life alert. Everything went well. I  was really scared. I had

hallunctions like crazy. I am also feeling a bit of anger. I know

these meds take a while to work. Today is Lucky’s first hair cut. I

need to accept this. It is hard.  We have to roll with the punches. We

never need to lose faith in our future. We well have the day we been

waiting for. It will come soon. This is our year. I  still believe that.

We can never lose sight of our future. It is ours for the taking. We

will be able to live again. We can live. We can live now. I am living

even though I need home support. Take this strength from me to all

of you. We need to be strong. We need strength everyday to fight

the HD we can. We can be stronger than HD.
