Today is my last day of silence. I am definitely looking forward to talking tomorrow. This week has been difficult. Not difficult with physically not talking, but just the strained social interaction with others. Even with all the love & support coming in from you all, I still felt disconnected and alone. Since ALS limits…
YES, I am still SILENT! I’m starting to wonder if I will even be able to talk on Sunday morning. What a strange feeling. Last night I went to a comedy club and that was very tough! I noticed I slapped my leg a lot, instead of laughing out loud. This week I’ve been reminiscing…
Day 5 of SILENCE. I think the boys in my house are liking my silence way too much. As I feel more left out and alone, they seem to be quite happy. Ha. What I really miss about talking is being involved in a conversation and being able to share a thought as soon as…

“During my “Shut up & Cure ALS” Week – I am not talking for an entire week …Yep, 7 days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes. I’ve had ALS for 12 years & I’m lucky to still have the ability to speak. So why am I going silent???” For the past 12 years our family has…
Well I started my “Shut Up & Cure ALS” week of silence exactly at midnight last night. I think from midnight to 1:00 a.m. was the toughest. Something about NOT being able to do something, makes you want to do it more. Maybe it’s the “Lopez” rebel inside me. Ha. I was so afraid I…
