Sarah,
You can count on Glen to give it to you straight! Another thing you may think about doing is dropping in on an
ALS support group meeting in you area. Contact your local ALSA and MDA folks for a better line on that leg.
By the way, thank you for taking this approach to better understand
ALS, how it effects the lives of those who have it and how you can better help! You're a peach!
