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.

To die or not to die



Whether you live alone or have a family, finances weigh heavily on the decision to prolong your life with ALS.

When you need paid care, a special vehicle, etc., etc.,---unless you are very wealthy, have excellent insurance, or a retired partner to care for you, the idea of a tracheostomy becomes an impossible dream. 24hr. care is mega expensive and the governments of Canada and U.S. show no mercy.
