Hawking

watching Hawking on PBS right now! so good! a history of his life and how he he lives.
I noticed he drives a Permobil...

Cool. Does it discuss his ALS to any extent?

 

[Barbie]

yes actually it does. he narrates the entire show. starts with his symptoms and diagnosis and his progression thru the years. alot about his care giving a some personal angst that he felt. the details were appropriate for the general population--of course all of us as pals and cals are probably more interested in high detail because we live the life our selves.

he doesnt appear to have a peg...can't suck thru a straw so they give him liquids with a spoon. I found it an amazing story.

A positive attitude can take one a long way.. Don't give up.. Live life to the fullest.. That's what Steven has always been doing..

I see we can't edit yet... Or I would have changed Steven to Stephen

It was called "Hawking" and I saw it on PBS, just by accident. have been getting into the Nova programs lately and it was following that.

He is amazing --even if he didn't have ALS. But the ALS makes his achievements so more...inspiring.

may I ask - is he technically PLS rather than ALS?

I am going to see if I can find the show to download I would be so interested to see it, thanks for the alert!
