As you have or will see in the In Memoriam thread our dear friend Ms. pie has died. Sadly it seems that her end was hastened by a bad fall from her chair. She survived surgery only to pass away quickly in the hospital. It serves to remind us all. Falls can kill us! If they do not kill us outright they can hasten progression and add disability on top of our disease. Please please please everyone be careful. We are at risk at all stages even in your chair if your torso is weak take extra care. I do not know exactly what happened to Marta but look at how you sit,transfer etc and try to minimize the risk
