Short Bio

My husband Roy and I are a retired couple living in northern Wisconsin. We retired from the Air Force in 1993 and he worked another 27 years as an OTR truck driver. He was diagnosed with bulbar ALS in May of this year. He can neither speak nor swallow and he has a PEG tube for feeding. We take things one day at a time like everyone else here I suppose.
