I got some great advice from a nurse as I struggle to accept all the new braces I need. She said, "Whether or not you accept help doesn't change the fact that you need it." I think this advice applies to so many other aspects of my life. As I try to maintain my independence, I know her words will be helpful to me.

Hello!
My name is Rachel. When I was diagnosed with ALS at age 28, I lost my teaching career, my plans to travel, and the chance to start a family with my husband. I lost my future. I almost lost hope, but being surrounded by so many people unwilling to let me go, I stepped back from the edge of despair. Now I am determine not to let a day go by without smiling, laughing, and fighting for my life. ArchivesCategories
