Welcome to my blog. I have had ALS for 10 years now.


Since I started this blog in June 2008 I've had amazing feedback. Family, friends, people from all over North America, Australia, Scotland, England, and places I can't recall, have commented, encouraged and corresponded. I had no idea when Cynthia taught me how to set this up, how much I would love posting and how many people would read it. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped propel this therapeutic exercise into a daily routine. All of you, both friends and visitors, are now part of my blog family. Welcome.

Accidents happen


Well it wasn't quite as messy as this, but very funny. Cathie, Judy and I went to Joey's on Broadway for lunch. I had asked to be moved since my wheelchair couldn't fit under the first table. When the waitress came with our water she misjudged and kerplunk-- swoosh-- splash-- right onto the table and into my lap. I was drenched. She apologized and came running back with a handful of napkins to clean up--a beach towel would have been more appropriate. We were laughing so much that I hadn't noticed the water dribbling down the side of my wheelchair. If you hadn't witnessed the act you would have thought, "Poor woman in the wheelchair--she's had an accident." Well the final outcome was that we were moved to a sunny table where I could dry, we got 3 glasses of free expensive wine, and we all had one heck of a good time.
