This thread has been quite insightful to me. It brings up issues that all who live a long life will face-declining with dignity, assisting those we love and/or who love us as we travel that path, and how much we should examine the ravages of this horrible disease.
Truthfully, I didn't watch the whole thing; it was too painful for me. I had never seen an MS patient that advanced. It wasn't about seeing a celebrity in this condition; it was seeing someone with the disease I share in that situation. Granted, she was Dxd with PPMS even before there were DMDs right? So she might have ended up in this condition even with DMDs since they don't help PPMS patients.

Still and all, I think it was a valuable thread; I needed to see this to remind me that I am not dealing with a pussycat, but a monster. I have given myself my DMD every day like a good girl ever since...
