Thanks Kari, Yes ALS does suck..it sucks all your well laid plans away, it sucks your happingess away, it sucks the life right out of you dearest and best friend slowly yet it can never suck up my joy for that is ground in a long standing faith and friendship with Jesus. Dido to you in regards to enjoying what you have to say. I am really glad I ran across this forum. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
