Hi jellis86,
Reading our posts, I feel that you could very well be right about the 'public awareness' thing. If more famous people, besides Lou Gehrig, Steven Hawkins and Bruce Edwards came down with it, it would get more attention.
Sadly, it's almost like the dangerous intersection that keeps killing someone every now and then. There has to be a major collision, killing several people at one time, before they finally install a stupid traffic light!! I have watched this in real life.
I like the bicycle ride that is going to raise awareness, from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine. That will be a good promotion, and I hope it gets some media attention.
If we poured some of our war money into als research.....reckon what would happen? Sometimes I hate our stupid politics, regardless of which side is in the White House. Very frustrating.
So, I'm glad your procedure went well, and I hope you are able to resume your favorite activities before long.
Hang tough,
Steve
