I'm an artist who fights on the side of LIFE! I'm 66, have ALS, and fight to overcome my limitations with the support of a loving husband, a warm and wonderful family, awesome friends, faith and always, humor. Just because I had to put my cape and tights in storage doesn't mean I can't fly!

Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

What a cutie! Our kitty, Gus the Galloping Goose, is a joy to my heart. Looks like Idgy is the same for you!
Oh Pam! She's adorable! I love her name :0) I can hear her purring from here. Awwwwwww. . . .
I really do think pets, and perhaps cats especially, are great medicine. Enjoy, enjoy!
She is adorable and the best part is she makes you happy. On the phone I could hear your smile when you told me about her.
Love you!
Idgy is absolutely adorable and I love the picture of you holding her. You two look like you are made for each other. As AC said, "Enjoy, enjoy".
Your kitty reminds me of a kitten we had for so many years. That's a funny age when they jump around and dance in the air, or so it seems sometimes.
Appreciated your comments -- yeah, between my husband and patients I've had, I can empathize with what you've been experiencing. But that's never the same as living the experience.
Yes, good medicine indeed, actually for the both of you. She has chosen an ideal companion. She is adorable. I find it impossible to be crabby or negative in the face of a kitten.
I love Idgy! She's wonderful, and so lucky to have you to hang out with!
She is a real little sweetie. I'll bet she is a good friend and I can see by your smile she's just what you need.
Have a great weekend, Pam. I hope you are getting some spring where you are so you'll be able to get outdoors.
Pam, that is one cute cat. Love the shot of you laughing. Love your passion for life. Love everything about you.
