My mother in law died two years ago from a similar neurological condition. She was brave too, but it was awful watching her. It affected her speech first, then her swallowing muscles, so no more food, then her legs, and finally her breathing. Yhe worst thing was she spent her last two months in a nursing home and the hospital, because she had been very active up until the onset of symptoms, doing aerobics in her garage with a group of friends and walking her dog daily. She was 74 but still had a lot of living to do. My thoughts are with you and Tink, Big V, I know this is a tough thing to go through.
