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.

I'm getting a PEG tube

On Tuesday, I'm getting a feeding tube put in at VGH.
My FVC(breathing) has dropped to 43%. It's best to get it before my percentage drops too low. I won't need to receive food through it yet but when the time comes, it will be there. I'll be in GF Strong for 3 days.
I'll update you on this adventure when I'm home and comfy.
Perhaps I'll have a story or two to tell.
