    Hershey Trip and ...

    Our trip to Hershey went well yesterday. As my wife had to work out of state and my boys (16 and 18 yrs old) where here from Florida it was just the three of us. The park was great and very accommodating. The lips on the concrete where tough on the transport chair but otherwise good. We where...

    Ideas for building a new home for someone with ALS?

    Hi All, didn't seem to quite be a category for this question, but this one seemed close enough. My mom was diagnosed with ALS in January, and we have made the decision to move her and my father to my area since its not really possible for me to move their way. Currently walking is become tough...

    Got my new wheels

    I got a loaner scooter from the ALS Society. It certainly expands my world. Legs are still but breathing is an issue. Not only do I benefit but the dog is getting pretty worn out too. Vincent

    Wonderful Road Trip

    One of the worst jobs I had to do after being diagnosed was to tell my children the bad news. By the time I knew, my voice had been impacted dramatically. I sounded like I was drunk. That wasn't a real concern to me....my big problem was that during periods of emotion, something closed down...

    Roll in Shower ideas

    We took the step out of our shower and we now have a roll in shower. Here is the problem I use a mobility scooter. If I back it up I don't have enough room to swing my legs around because the opening is not wide enough. A rolling shower chair will fit but I would probably need my husband to...

    Power Mobility questions

    PWC users - do you have the adjustable seat height feature? I understand it is an option I can pay for out of pocket for the Quantum Q6. Pretty expensive addition, so I'm wondering if its worth it? If you also paid OOP for your feature too, did you negotiate the price of the add on? 3 wheel...

    Mom diagnosed recently

    Hello All, I’ve been lurking on these pages for some time now and feel I should post. My mom was diagnosed with ALS in January of this year. For her, it started out a few years ago as a normal jog one morning. By the middle of her run something was wrong with her left leg, she couldn’t lift...

    Disney was a success!

    Disney World was wonderful! Tom did well, although he is now quite exhausted. He managed a half day at each park, even made his way back to the hotel room on his scooter, on his own, after a trial run the first day. He especially liked "speeding" on the scooter when space would allow, leaving...
