This was posted on an ALS Facebook group. One could only aspire to make as much impact in such a short period of time for the ALS community.

Lisa, I had searchlight assist with my infusion until I went on Medicare at which time I had to switch to Health Wellness Foundation to assist with the cost of Radicava. Strength and hugs!

You got out of the house? I am so jealous!!! How does one break out of this place???? Who did you pay? Were you kidnapped? Did the tooth fairy come looking for extra help?

So much information here...sounds like a med school class. Still so much to consider, think about, questions.... Thanks so much everyone. Update on my situation. I now have extended the hours my aide is here and have a few close friends coming over to cover the time before my son comes home...

Ahhhh! Good information to know.

CURIOUS Creative underwear rituals instigate outrageous universal sensations. (I couldn't resist the urge to utilize the underwear U!) artichoke (In honor of my favorite restaurant's special tonight-salmon with spinach, artichoke, and cherry tomatoes) 😋

Do we REALLY need to count the Space Force? Such a joke! 🤪

I was thinking of Robert Redford.

So after the gradual reopening started here in Ohio, restaurants could open last week with outdoor seating only - including 6 ft distancing, masks required for all staff, and limited capacity. Part of the mandates required all BEVERAGES and food to be consumed at tables. Well, as one can...

OK Beauty! You and I took the most important part of the last page of posts was the picture of Al! What a handsome devil you are! You never shared this side with us before.;);)

Sorry, my dinner arrived as I was posting. Forgot a word. Does everyone want to try the sentence suggestion from Karen?

BOISTEROUS- Brilliant, omnipotent idiosyncratic scientists terrorize engineers rambling over university studios.

So proud of you Karen...you restrained yourself with four U and no underwear whatsoever! 👙 :ROFLMAO:

Thank you so much for sharing these adventures! You are able to do what so many of us cannot or will not experience.

Karen, what is skijoring? Not a dog enthusiast so I have no clue.

Vincent, we had snow Saturday morning as well. Just about one inch here-not six inches like you.

Same weather here in Ohio, wmilo! I sure miss all the yardwork that May brings: weeding (not so much), edging, mulching, trimming,planting flowers, planting vegetable garden. Condo living leaves us with just a small ability to plant annuals or perennials in our beds. I can't get out as...

Thank you Christine! I do recall your comments now that I think about it. I appreciate the details of your post-so helpful for many here! :) (Waving hellp from Massillon-not too far away! My husband is from Westlake)

Thank you, Vltsra! I have been thinking about Depends. I appreciate a caregiver's input-so much more experienced than we are at this stage with 2 1/2 years in.

Karen and Tillie...my thoughts as well. Why bother spending the money for a short term fix? I needed to check everyone's ideas.

OHHH, Karen, you beat me! :(

SHOWER Shouldn't humans overpower wholly egocentric rulers? TYRANT

Hello all! I so appreciate everyone's insight, advice, experience, and concerns. I just finished my local ALS support group meeting via ZOOM and I brought up this very same question for any local suggestions. Here is one: Has anyone had experience with this lift variety?

Kristina, although I'm so worried about your injuries, I am glad you took the time to check in. Please take care! Sending hugs that don't hurt! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 :love:

Jimi and Jessie, I have also trained my bladder from 10 pm-7:30 am with no liquids after 8ish except for just a small sip before bed for the dryness. I try to limit my liquid during the day now so that I can make it 3 hours. But I really like your suggestions of "training" around caregiver...

Karen, everyone knows what you would do with a "u"!!! ☺

Karen, are you paying yourself for the help? So you have hired help anytime your spouse is not home? Does she still work?

Thanks, Tillie.

Me too! They even accused those nurses of being actors planted by liberal democrats and not being nurses at all!!!!!!! Really?

I have had a raised toilet seat for about two years and have raised the legs along the way. In the last three weeks a sudden change has occurred. Now I need help getting off most of the time, being able to push myself up only once or twice a day. My husband works. With stay at home orders, my...

I think we need a thread of "proper etiquette cursing" examples.... Al you are up first!

And those protestors, in the capital buildings of Michigan and others wearing long guns on their backs in the peoples' buildings of law are screaming for opening up our states so everyone can go bowling, drinking, and getting their nails done, are driving around with $50, 000 pick-up trucks in...

SARCASM Such asinine radicals can't accept state mandates. Asinine

FOUNTAIN Finding our unknown natural tendencies allows indescribable nuances. mindfulness

This is new today, I assume? I just noticed it and was checking up earlier today. I found it interesting to see activity of new members which makes me think to pay attention to them as well as the regulars we have come to recognize and pay attention. Perhaps it may make us a more welcoming...
