MND Events

With the Wellington branch of the MND Assc. there is a monthly morning tea which is held at the "Arthritis Rooms" in Petone. It is a chance for everyone diagnosed with MND and their carers to get together, exchange stories, hear how other people are coping and at the same time have a drink and a bite to eat.
I find it very rewarding and have made friends with one woman whom I shall call M-A. With laughter on both sides she is described as "the other woman" The thing with MND is that you can get very lonely and it is better to be happy (as much as you can ) in the circumstances, than be in a posistion where you know no one. Life ( for those with MND or any disibility for that matter) ) is far to short for that . It is important to have a good team of people you can call on, not only for medical assistance but for the friendship and companionship that those with MND need.
Tomorrow we are going to meet at the "Bellevue Gardens" to have lunch with the MNDANZ and hopefully there will be a good crowd. I will let you know how it goes.
