    Thank you, Marianne.  Yes, it was a bit scary, but it taught me that I shouldn’t be going anywhere alone.  Best–Pepper

    I recently fell. I was not in my home.  I could not get up and was basically immobile.  My mouth was filling up with saliva and phlegm which I could not expel.  Finally someone came to my rescue.

    Is there a device that can summon help, when you cannot speak to emergency services and are not able to text?

    I am at the point where I’m not easily understood and I would like to hear from people about what equipment they are using and could share some dos and don’ts about selecting the right equipment.

    Well said, Len!   This is the kind of acceptance and perspective that can bring so much happiness and fulfillment to us.  Thanks so much for sharing this.

    Call me an eternal optimist, but we need to focus more on more positive stuff.  Yes, these things happen to all of us and will continue, but it’s how we react that makes our journey a fulfilled or demoralizing one.  It is our choice to be the master or the slave of our condition.  Face it, we are life warriors.  We live with challenges every day…[Read more]

    Dear Kathy, I am a pALS, diagnosed about 18 months ago.  My speech is getting pretty bad.  I have customer care people hang up on me when I try to tell them the reason for my calling.  It is an isolating feeling, indeed, but I have something I do every morning that helps me.  When I open the shower door to get in, it’s become automatic that I thi…[Read more]
