I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to update. One of the main reasons I haven't been on here is... I'm writing a book! Or trying to. It has nothing to do with ALS or anything autobiographical. It's a scifi/fantasy romance. I've long been an avid fantasy reader, and always had stories of...

The long-awaited mandatory reporting requirement has kicked in, thanks to Senator Duckworth. So if you experience any issues with airline wheelchair handling, please make a report, which will drive potential funding to reduce such incidents. Note that there is a separate complaint category for...

Unfortunately, I lost my husband, March 4,2016; after a 3 year battle with ALS. I was his full time caregiver. We made the mistake of waiting too long to try to get this device, he was not able to use it like we could have if we had it earlier. We used it maybe 4 times, and only a few minutes...

Hello, I am hoping to find a used Permobil F3 or F5 wheelchair for my father soon. His current wheelchair does not have a tilt or rise feature which he will soon need. I live in Oklahoma, but am able to travel for pickup. I saw that soonerwife was selling one a few months ago, but I'm...

Lori and I had the opportunity to go to the Grand Canyon this fall and had a wonderful trip. As I have posted before, the trips are getting harder, so much so that I have considered cancelling each of the last three trips. I am so glad that I have not! The weather was spectacular and I was...

My dad was diagnosed this past March with ALS but we are sure he had it for about a year or so prior. He just went back this week for his three month check and his breathing went from 86% to 92%. They said that is rare. Anyone else experience that? With that being side he has become weaker in...
