My ALS journey started back in February 2021. I had dental work done, and after that, I started noticing a slur in my speech. At first, I laughed it off. I was drunk without drinking! No big deal, I thought, I felt fine. In June of that year, I went to my family doctor and she questioned why I waited so long to come.
In December 2021, Chris underwent inguinal hernia surgery, but never fully recovered. He developed muscle twitches and drop foot, which his doctor said was not caused by surgery. He began eating less and less – my estimate was under 700 calories a day. Then Chris began having gall bladder attacks, and in March 2022, needed surgery to remove gallstones.
It was September 2019, things seemed pretty normal. I had just completed PT for a frozen right shoulder, was hitting the weights again, and clicking off 6-minute training miles in preparation for some running races.
