Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hi , I hope that this warm and learned group can be of some help to you, emotionally and intellectually. I find the postings very helpful and supportive. Sometimes I have to laugh at myself as I " soak " up all the research information.... And plan on Emailing my neurologist as to whether it might be helpful for me. I was very excited to read that something might be done that would enable me produce stem cells which might be frozen for later use. Wow, was I excited!!! I'm glad that I waited before I contacted my neurologist..... because there's no way that I could produce stem cells without ovaries and a uterus. I had to laugh at myself. My birthday is tomorrow and my son, his wife and 5 & 9 old granddaughters gave me my requested birthday present on Sunday ...a trip to the Bronx Zoo. Although my son is a weight lifter I'm sure that he was tired after pushing a wheelchair up and down hills for four hours. It was one of my best birthday presents. I told my other son that I wanted to be taken to the Museum of Natural History for my birthday present and that it could be belated. When I was first diagnosed with ALS (which was then changed to PLS) my daughter-in-law, who is a psychologist, asked me to make a wish list. The Zoo and the Museum were on the list. My wish list contained things to do with them and memories for my granddaughters. But I must admit that when I project into " future " and fear overtakes me, I try to internalize the saying that I put on my desk by reading it over and over again: " Cowards die many times before their deaths The valiant never taste of death but once " , I hope that today is a good day and free of pain and worry.
