Do You Use Workarounds?

[Dagmar Munn]

Living with ALS certainly has its challenges, which leads many of us to rely on workarounds.

These are creative, temporary solutions that solve an everyday problem; I first wrote about mine in “The ALS Workaround Dilemma.” But the key word here is “temporary,” because workarounds run the risk of failing or breaking down — usually when we least expect it.

And that’s exactly what happened to me in: Working Around My Workarounds

Do you have workarounds that help you live with ALS? Are they still working for you or, have they evolved into new solutions?

Read your latest workaround disaster and couldn’t help laughing hopefully with U not at U.  Pride goeth before a fall. I too am stubborn about appearances and have embarrassed myself mightily by trying a workaround that failed dismally in public. e.g. going to the men’s room by my self using my forearm crutches.  I’ll leave out details.

Yes John, best leave the visuals to our imaginations! 😉

But we’ve all “been there.” It’s good we can all share a laugh… and laugh at ourselves.

Glad my story made you smile.
