Did you know?
When you have a tracheotomy you don't actually die from ALS. One of the most common causes is pneumonia.
I'm kind of happy that ALS won't defeat me ;)

People with disabilities should not have to choose assisted dying when there are other options to ease their suffering. Our lives may not seem perfect to others, but it's our life to live, and we should NEVER have to choose death when it wasn't necessary. cbc.ca/news/canada/moโ€ฆ

I am just watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune... my nightly ritual lol.
I was just thinking... I remember when on Wheel the people would buy the prizes from a room of merchandise. I loved that!

Anyone using grid pad - smart box for eye gaze can I pick your brains. I am able to make new posts but can't seem to reply. I click the reply button but when I have typed it nothing shows on screen. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks x

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions... I have a trach with a cuff. It keeps leaking and it bubbles up my nose and throat. The cuff won't stay inflated for more than ten minutes. This is the fourth one I've tried. Making me miserable. My rt has no idea.

I don't think I will ever get used to 24 hour care. I love people but I am definitely more of an introvert. I just want some alone time.

I highly recommend the movie Free State of Jones with Matthew McConaughey
It is from 2016 but perhaps it was just released on TV.
It was very emotional.

I can't believe some of your callers Jill Bennett
I have no intention or desire to go to Wreck Beach but for the callers to say 'too bad so sad' about people with disabilities having access is down right mean.
I hope that they never have to be in a wheelchair.

Did you know?
Being unable to regulate one's body temperature is a common problem in people with ALS.
I am usually freezing cold and can't warm up but occasionally I get so hot that I panic.
