Motor Neurone Disease, from the beginning, has been a struggle, but made so much easier to cope with by having support from family, friends and community friends.
That support has come in so many ways: visiting me, feeding me, bathing me, letters written on a weekly basis, raising money, donating money, emotional support and so much more.
I could not have done it without you, all of you. I love you for it.
Now, my prognosis is 2-3 years from my diagnosis in 2017. We can all do the maths.
I may be moving in to the final phase but I am so pleased with my EyeGaze which keeps me in contact with my life.
I miss my friends so much and my wonderful job. You all know who you are.
Please keep the fight against MND real. If you would like to contact me please do via Facebook.
Life is good, live it every day.
Andrea Shutt (PCSO)
