Hi Mark,
Welcome to the forum but so sorry for your need to be here. I am Skipper (Kim) and I joined this forum a little over 2 years ago after my dad was diagnosed with ALS. He will turn 80 in September. You will find alot of support on this forum and will also get to share a few laughs here and there too. You might encourage your wife to become a member as well. Go to the thread in the other section called Come for Tea sometime. There we just chat about everyday life and get to know one another. Hope to get to know more about you. Hang in there. You'll be meeting some good folks on here soon. Kim
