it’s possible my mom has flail arm syndrome (variant of ALS) in which case her prognosis may be more like 5 years… i don’t want to get my hopes up for anything, ultimately i just want her to experience as little suffering as possible and enjoy her life, i just hope she can still talk for a few more years. it’s going to be so hard after that i can hardly think about it. i think she wants to die before it gets to like, impossible-to-function levels of bad… i’m just trying to live with “2 years” in my mind as the concept right now and if we get more than that i’ll just be thrilled
