Am I repeating myself

When our podiatrist visited, her shock over the change in Burt over two months became my shock.

There is no escaping the fact that a progressive neurodegenerative disease degenerates. It’s the only progress it knows.

Those of us who are living with it are serially surprised. It often or sometimes takes other’s eyes to show us that which we know.

I am so glad that our podiatrist left me with her positive remark. She said «you can see Burt’s still in there.«

I had my shock and my reminder to keep reaching for him. To keep connecting to the man I love. He’s in there.
