Dying by VAD / Voluntary assisted dying in a month’s time.
Living with MND / ALS is a miserable existence that only gets more miserable with time.
I’m glad I live in a place where this option is available to me.

Another day of my body gradually breaking down #mnd #als .
My legs and arms refusing to work together to get me out of seats in public spaces. So I will most likely be using a wheelchair in these situations in future.
Then a bill for $457 for calling out paramedics to help me get up from a fall.
