Casey, new guy in my support group. They are, of course, overwhelmed but good, good people. He's younger and bulbar onset. Almost, but not quite, without voice. I'm going to urge him to use this site and am going to tell him to look for 'you' and your posts on it. You have great, humorous, real application advice. Hopefully he'll hook up with you. You have a great outlook and you guys are so similar and not that far from each other. I'm still talking, have my bad speaking days, but I'm hanging in there.
Btw, I'm looking for the zipper ziplocks. I have trouble with zippers but that's usually because my body is fighting back against them! A zipper with no resistance might work for me.
