DAY 13- The Long To-Do List

13/5/2013

Carly
Well, what a day. The morning was spent trying to finish our building jobs. When we met at the Rose Theatre at 1.30pm, we had a puppet body, a table, a chair and importantly, a puppet head which we are feeling pretty pleased with.

The rest of the afternoon was spent addressing problems and issues we had with the puppet itself and how we would use it on Tuesday at the scratch. There was a lot of deliberation, running around Primark, BHS and M&S, foam cutting and coffee drinking, but we got there in the end with a long to-do list and left the building at 7pm to go away and do our tasks. We reconvene tomorrow at 10am where I will lead a practical session until 3pm with our work-in-progress puppet.

" MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. "

"In my view, mental and physical aspects of MND go hand in glove - if one has the right frame of mind, one can almost achieve the impossible"

" I'm living with MND, not dying from it. "

" I first saw the task as one of preserving my personality, of showing the world that my mind has not gone down the tubes with my voice. If I cannot say as much as I used to say, I have to say it better. So the choice of words becomes crucial. "

" He accepts life and works on the process of fate. What if life no longer accepts you? "

" Initial symptoms are: frequently yawning, deterioration of speech, tripping and unexpectedly dropping things. "

" I might be unlucky having MND but I think I am blessed to have the family that I have behind me. "
Mark Maddox

"I have had motor neurone disease for practically all my adult life. Yet it has not prevented me from having a very attractive family, and being successful in my work. This is thanks to the help I have received from Jane, my children, and a large number of other people and organisations. I have been lucky, that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope."
Stephen Hawking

" It’s hard because I can’t even play football with the kids and I can’t do stuff that you normally do with young children." Mark Maddox

"It's been said that the care and support you receive is a bit of a postcode lottery but in my two-year journey I've met a lot of kindhearted people."
