Sunday 7 August 2011
It was a very early start for Roger this morning. I made sure I was organized so that things ran smoothly e.g clothes to wear, what to eat for breakfast, message, etc. Didn't get a chance to walk Pepper, but he will survive for one day!
We left home at 8.10am. Just as well it is only a 5 minute drive to the Church. Bit nippy this morning as well!!! (my lovely coat bought on a trip to Toronto, Canada comes in handy for Church). Roger spoke very well at both services - 8.30 and 10.15am. It was lovely to see Roger's sense of humour coming out. He was very tired afterwards as you can imagine. He received lots of encouraging comments.
I am so pleased he has had this opportunity to speak in Church again. I don't think he will be able to do it again, with his speech becoming less and less clear.
Unrelenting MND

Pressing On !
Roger has had 3 sessions with Brenda to tell his story and it has all gone very well. I am feeling very excited thinking about how Brenda is going to present this to us. Roger said there are a few surprises to look forward to. I am a little disappointed that his voice has been taped and his speech is not lovely and clear like it used to be. Roger will have another session next week. It is all very thorough.
I've had a terrible week and a half. I haven't felt really well, I seem to be forever crying, I am stressed, sometimes I feel very alone and trying to cope is way out of control. This is just not like me at all and I know I am probably going to get worse.
I visited a Naturopath on Tuesday and he was very helpful. He has given me some cacky herbs to take and he told me to buy some liquid fish oil to take. He has given me some very good advice and I just have to try and put it into practise.
I hate what is happening to us as a couple. It is even hard for us to have a nice conversation because Roger is so unclear when he talks. But I know I must be thankful for such a happy 35 years of marriage to a darling, darling man.
Roger is currently preparing his message to speak at our Church this coming Sunday 7 August. He will speak from Genesis 11 on 'The Tower of Babel'. I can't say I am too happy about this as I think it is too much for him, but try and tell Roger that!! Also he has been asked to speak at both services - 8.30 and 10.15am!! So, get praying for Roger please everyone!!
