Gary Larson, Bill Keane?? I could use you again …

Someone asked what it felt like to have an obnoxious disease and no one seeming to do anything about it

I took the question to my FTD forum – especially Susan, John, Elizabeth, Jan and Linda took it and we all batted the idea around and came up with this.

An army of guinea pigs, with a lance, little helmets, a couple needles hanging off our butt, an IV or 2 on some, riding hippos at great speed, watching the oncoming lemmings run toward the cliff, because someone yells “No cure! No treatment! Terminal!! No studies!! Hopeless!!!”

Guinea Pigs, you’re time is here. Rise up!! (adjusting my own mask, fluffing out my cute Guinea Pig bottom.) Unite!! Susan, set the signal!!

It’s not over, we’ve just begun!!!

  • Richard:

    My prayers go out to you Vicki. I’ve been directing my friends on Facebook to your site every time you post something so that they can be praying for you.
    You are an encouragement to all of us. (as well as a good source of humor when you post things like this one.) God bless you.
    Richard

    • Thanks, Sir Richard!!! I am so grateful for all your prayers and making people laugh, just a bit ;o) So far, my funny bone is just fine, thank you.

  • Vicki,
    THANKS! My dad has FTD and reading your blog lets me understand what he’s going through.
    Blessings,
    Caitlin

Vicki’s Medical Expenses

Vicki has been tentatively approved to participate in clinical research studies to help understand more about Frontotemporal Disease for the benefit of others who may be affected now or in the future. But before she can participate in the studies, she has to undergo a series of medical tests and evaluations which aren't covered by her medical insurance. As you can imagine, these tests are expensive and her financial resources are limited.

We're asking you to consider donating toward Vicki's medical expenses. Your support will not only encourage Vicki, but will have benefits for future generations who will know more about FTD. This is a private activity, so donations aren't tax deductible. But each of us can make a real difference. To donate online, just click on the button below.

Thank you. Jim Coyle
