We are going to get meds. Trevor asked for his check early
form his Dad. We were debating divorce. If we did it we would
have money. We could still be together. They expect Trevor to
take care of us. Insane it is. Trevor has a new job. He will get
benefits in three months. In those three months we are
going to have to pay hundreds of dollars worth of meds.
Today feel a lot healthier. I have a clear mind. Shirley came
over. We started our slow cooker meal. I am not surprised
that Gary does not have his meds working. The Serquil works
for a while. The it gets worse. I am still grieving over Jenny. I
saw some school busses here. I saw the bus I saw on the
news. I still need Trevor to hook up the scanner. He is busy
working two jobs to afford everything. He also does part time
for his Dad. We are fighting HD together. Let’s take the pain
and put that away. We can live without the pain of HD. We can
learn to live without it. HD is fighting against us. It is fight and
we are fighting. Our life is on the line every day. Never give up
fighting. Never stop fighting. Never stop. HD can win. We
cannot let it take our life away. Take away our meaning of
our life. There are so many reasons to fight. We need to live
with HD. We need to live period. We need meaning. A reason
to live. Live and live your life. Accept HD. Accept that we are
getting sicker. We are going to get cured shortly, until that
we are sick. Own HD. Own your life living with HD.
I am feeling really sick today. My HD is so bad. I am
completely out of it. Having g total brain fog. My home
support situation is worked out. They will come at 100 in the
morning and 4 to 5 pm. I am happy. They will come at 10 to do
slow cooker meals with me. I am, felling more capable. Every
night I make a meal. With a little help. I thought they would
steal my independence. They are making me more
independent. I had an occupational therapist come over. She
is getting us grab bars for the bathroom. We are going to
work all of that out. They are all going to have a conference.
All of my Doctors and my family. They are coming out with
plans for my care. We signed up for pahamrphamicare here.
They are making us pay 1000 dollars of meds before I get
covered for 75 percent. That is horrible. How can we come out
with that? My Dad sent us 500 hundred dollars for my meds. I
have not many left and we can't afford too. We just need to
believe that things will get better. They can only improve.
That is what we need to go us through, pure faith and belief.
We will have our day of sunshine when we get cured. All of
this will be worth it. Don’t ever lose hope in the things that
keep us alive. The things that get us going. There are many
reasons of why we need to survive. We will get cured shortly.
Why not live your life knowing that. We have a future. We can
get there. We just can never lose hope. That is all we need is
hope. We will get that day soon. The day were all of them
pain and worry go away. We will get there. It will come soon.
We will get cured. We have a future. Plan it out. Plan our
future. We can have that day of glory. It will come sooner
than later.
I am unhappy with my home care workers. They are not
respecting me my time table. I told them to come at four. I
had to fit everything. In. They started showing up at 3:30. I
have to take a walk everyday with Elissya and Lucky. The one
day we were there for five minutes then they came. My walks
are down to 15 minutes now. From an hour I am not happy.
How am I supposed to build neurons? Last night I had to wait
until 5:30 to walk him. He pooed in the house. They need to
respect me. I was a former Nurse. I know my patients rights.
We have them. Sadly very few people know that. I am not
happy. They told me I could still have the walks. They are
taking all of that away. I started my own HD support group.
Every day I will send you blogs and hopeful information
everyday. If you need support. I volunteered at the distress
center. I am trained to fight anyones personal crisis. I was
planning either this or message board. When I got an
established base. To give back more. Make an impact. For the
past few days I have been healthy. My brother is having
problems with his serquil. It is not working that good now. I
had a hard Mother’s day. I missed my Mom. There were all of
those shows on TV about Mother’s day. This holiday I always
try to avoid. It hurts too much. Especially the divide with
Trevor’s Mom. I made a banner of my support group that
everyone can click. I am doing that through yahoo. Every day I
will email people hope. This never stops. We need hope to
counteract everyone’s negative message. We will live HD
free soon. I will keep out all of the trolls is what they call
them. People that have nothing nice to say. I had that happen
to me. I will not let them in. Be free with your feelings. Will be
free with my hope. We can get cured. We have hope. I can
give you this everyday now. HD means we have to live more.
We ne more hope. We need to counteract all the matter of
fact information. They don’t leave room for hope. I do. I give
everyone hope. Take it. Live your life.

They are planning a run for the Cure on Septemebr 20. Donate now
or find info.
A lot of hope for a new cure. That is amazing. My Mom was right. This
is our year for breakthroughs. Just beleive in cures. Plan your
future.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I will forever love and cherish my
Mom. When she was alive I brought her flowers on Mother’s
day. No one could replace her in my eyes. She was and is my
Mom. Even though she died when I was seventeen. I was
devistated when she died. We were so close. I loved and
looked after her in the hospital. I missed two weeks of the
first semester of school. Nobody thought I could graduate. I
missed so much in every class. 4 chapters of everything. I
showed them. Graduate with good grades. I finished for my
Mom. When Trevor and I had our wedding I put up a picture of
her on a table, with flowers around it. Everyone was touched.
It got all of them in tears. They told me that my Mom would be
proud of me. Approve of Trevor. I loved her that much. No one
can replace you. She is the one that sent me two dreams on
me getting cured. It will happen soon. I believe my Mom. In
her first dream she told me I had HD. Two days before I got
my results. In the end my Mom would only talk to me. She felt
I was her salvation. I made her life that much better. My Mom
had a smile that could bring happiness. She was an amazing
seamstress. Made all of her own clothes. Her sister too. She
never tried to escape from HD. She was brave. She was my
inspiration in dealing with this. I could only hope to be as
brave as she was. I know she is probably proud of what I have
done here. I opened an HD door here. One that won’t close.
She was hilarious. We want future with HD. We demand
hope. I know she probably would be so happy. I am trying to
affect change for everyone that comes here. We do not have
to be unhappy. Not anymore. I did that Mom. She was s my
inspiration.
Yesterday at Phsyio he had me do some exercises that would
make my chorea less. It made it worse. Every time I did a set
they got worse. Next time I will need to do stretching and
massage. We went for a walk so he could how bad my chorea
was. I was so confused yesterday. I went to the wrong
apartment building. Thought it was mine. Got confused when
I did the exercises too. Shirley and I made a slow cooker
meal. It was so good. She is going to come at 3:30. We need
time to make dinner. World War Two was the only way I
actually supported. We are happy that Hitler did not take
over the world. I am glad that thanks to the military we can be
free. Let’s enjoy our freedom and our lives. Let’s love all of
ourselves, including the HD. Forgive yourselves for what HD
made you do. It is the disease and not you. It makes you act
that way. Forgive and love yourself for what you are. I know
how strong everyone is when they have HD. Every day is an
unending fight that we can win. We can be happy. We can be
hopeful. We can be anything we want too. We have to fight
HD. Get the control back. Take our future back. All of that
belongs to us. We need to live. We need to not give up
everything. We need to get everything back. Take back our
lives. Take them.
