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.

All types of falls

I fell today after an outing in the sun. I was transferring from my power chair back to my walker and fell backward onto floor. Ouch! 2 friends arrived a few minutes later and with the help of some men in my building lifted me up and plunked me in a chair. It's an interesting way to meet your neighbors! I don't have the strength in my legs to get on my knees or the strength to crawl. Neither are my arms strong enough to pull me up. ALS is VERY frustrating. However, I don't seem to have any injuries so I'm thankful for that.
