I had a good visit to the ALS Clinic today. They're a great team and once again gave me helpful tips and information. My strength is less than in April but not progressing at a rapid pace. My OT at GF Strong had valuable ideas for my bathroom reno and the physiotherapist is setting me up with home visits. My shoulders are weak and freezing up so I have to get some stretching and ROM exercises. I'm fortunate that my speech therapist is a MAC person(like me) so all the computer devices I'll use in the future will be compatible with Apple products. I'm purchasing a new MacBook at the end of this month. It will be light for use on a power chair and easy for me to move with one hand. It's wonderful that I'm only 15 mins. from the Clinic and 10 mins. from my specialists at VGH. Oh--and the humorous part. I asked about going on a diet to lose 20 lbs, to make it easier for my caregivers in the future when moving me and I was told an emphatic "NO!" They do not like ALS patients to diet. It was sweet music to my chubby ears. Bring on the pasta!
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
