    Alexa for the technologically challenged

    I am not a techy person, but I do enjoy using my iPad. My hand function is declining. My speech is slightly slurred and nasally, but still understandable. A friend of mine gave me an Amazon “Fire HD 8 with Alexa”, 16gb, for Christmas. I’m embarrassed to say it’s still sitting on my shelf...

    Dry eye

    Does anyone have this issue? The perfect storm of atropine (mucus) Benadryl (sleep) our heating system, learning how to stay hydrated with feeding tube plus slight air leak of my trilogy mask going right to my eyes. Another sh*t storm side adventure to the nightmare. I use lots of eye drops...

    NEW APP for PALS

    There is a new free APP for iPhones and iPads called "I have voice." The developer lost someone with ALS and decided he wanted to do this. He asked for feedback on the features. It uses eye gaze technology so you need a newer iPhone or iPad. I've not yet downloaded it but will do tonight...

    33 year old male. Obese. Office job. I have always had some health anxiety, let's start there. My main anxiety throughout my adult life has been colon cancer, which comes from my symptoms of IBS and GERD. Back in April I had a gastro event, and it ramped up my anxiety. Afterwards I started...

    Not a story of hope but a hopeful poem

    Not a story of hope but a poem that I find strangely hopeful, all the more when the poem is about 5 men who are shot to their deaths. Also a poem that vindicates beauty even, especially when we are confronting death: 1. They take them out in the morning to the stone courtyard and put them...
