Thanks. I think I knew that there would be no easy way to do this. My husband also loved to hunt and fish. Loved to talk and never knew a stranger. That's what I hate about this disease - it takes away everything they loved to do. Now, he just sits and watches the same 5 or 6 movies all...

Any advice on the best way to take away your loved ones driving privileges? My husband has ALS with FTD and I no longer feel comfortable with him driving. My kids are also pushing me to take his keys away. He doesn't drive much anymore, usually to our local post office and Subway (he LOVES...

Thanks so much for the message. I probably should have done this months ago, but I'm here now!
