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.

My hospital roommate in June

When in hospital, this puppy came to visit me every morning while his human Mother taught me how to dress independently. He was very patient and I was very slow. I learned how to put socks on with the help of a gripper wand and how to get a T-shirt on by putting the weak arm through first. Often I get stuck in my shirts as I don't have the strength to untangle them. It's quite a funny sight and I always start laughing--this makes the task even harder!
