Gulp

Last night when I went to bed I had a fright. I know it's probably related to the bronchitis (which may be in its final days), maybe also the dry air in the house, but when I was trying to go to sleep I had a hard time swallowing. This scares me more than the loss of strength in my hand and arm--bulbar onset means the clock ticks faster. It worried me so much I got up and drank a full bottle of water just to prove I could.

Today is fine. Today is good. I'm swallowing like a madwoman.
