Earlier yesterday morning, Darcey passed away peacefully. She did so in a time of her choosing and with a smile upon her face. Next month would have marked the completion of 8 years with ALS. Darcey was tired. Her body was exhausted. And her psyche was beginning to feel bruised and...
I received a request for my thoughts on the EyeGaze Edge from a Forum Member here. I attempted to reply to that message in my profile but could not post that message. Those that know me, are aware that I don't often reply in a sentence or two. This was no exception and it seems I might have...
I'm having difficulty replying to a question that was put on my profile page area. I get a message that says, "oops! we've run into a problem". So I tried making a new thread in the Caregivers area... NOPE... didn't work there, either. So went back to my profile (now 8 hours later) and tried...
Darcey has been having night sweats for the last week or so. She says that she doesn't wake up during the night feeling hot or cold. We have her heated mattress pad and her heated blanket lower than we've typically had it. But she's waking with her clothes soaking wet. She's not running a...
For better or for worse...
So much of love and life is echoed within those words. I first pledged to them in marriage but find they are also much a part of every day living. In fact, I'm about to embark on another "for better or for worse" chain of events.

Our journey began at a Joe Bonamassa concert in November of 2012. With no advance warning, Darcey was suddenly having difficulty walking. Later that same night, she'd be unable to rise from a seated position. It was the beginning of a life phase that neither of us anticipated.
For all of...

Greetings!
We're looking at the Eyegaze Edge from LC Technologies and wondered if any of you had any experience with and/or comments about it. Our first Tobii of about 4 years ago was pretty much worthless... so we'd like to not duplicate the process. Any comments would be much appreciated...
Our TV setup is somewhat complicated. We have Cable TV (Verizon FIOS) which feeds into Verizon's Cable Control Box. That feed is then routed to the Onkyo Audio Receiver (which allows me control of various other sources... ROKU, BlueRay, Bluetooth, etc.). I have the Universal Remote Control...
