Ok, so the title “Final Post” was a little premature. Figures, since it took me the whole day to figure out what to say. I did NOT inherit my mom’s writing talent. Patty’s memorial service will be held on June 12, 2016 at 3:00 pm at Legacy Church in Tierrasanta: 10881 Tierrasanta Blvd. San Diego, … Continue reading

Final Post
This morning Patty Blake passed away peacefully in her sleep. Thank you to all who read her blog and commented on Facebook. I know she appreciated each and every one of you. God bless. Isaiah 40:30 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they … Continue reading
I’m Sorry
Kristina here again doing the typing. Mom has been practicing but is having trouble because of her cataracts, we think. Whatever the reason, we have found this to be a good solution to the problem, at least for now. Patty here. It is a family joke with us that I am in the habit of … Continue reading
Into the Valley
Kristina here, typing for my mom. You may also know me as Daughter #2. That’s it from me. The rest is mom’s. We went to our UCSD ALS clinic appointment the other day. I continue to lose weight, but I don’t recommend ALS as a weight-loss program. In the three and a half years we … Continue reading

zzzzz (Yawn) … I’m awake!
See? My eyes are open! Really, I am awake now! And having a glorious time playing with my new toy communication device. I love my new Tobii! It is a wonder, truly. Not only is it now more fun playing around with all the different voices to choose from, but writing is so much faster … Continue reading
Inside the Terror
Trigger warning : panic attack, anxiety Terrifying? Is that the right word? Crushed? Well, sort of. How can I describe in one word this recent, and worst so far, panic episode? It often begins in the bathroom. Why? I think it has something to do with being in an upright position and thus less able … Continue reading
Ok, so far
