Hi Mary, I'm sad to hear of your great loss. I think your Dad knew any impatience or frusteration while you were his caretaker was directed at this terrible disease and the situations it creates, and was not aimed at him personally. Being with him through the stages of ALS and never giving up...

What are some of his favorite hobbies, things to do etc.?

Thanks, It's been a very long and frusterating road to get here. My Mom actually expressed a bit of relief in getting the news. Not knowing is sometimes worse than anything. Heck, she may actually grace our presence here sometime in the future. (Mom, if you're reading this, don't be shy :) )...

We received my Moms firm ALS diagnosis today. We appreciated the cander of the Neuro, she did not beat around the bush, or try to string us along with more tests that weren't necessary. My Mom has been referred to an ALS specialist who will determine next steps from there. We are digesting the...

Hello All, First, apologies for the lengthy post, I'm wordy :) I've been lurking around here in the forums for quite some time, reading through the great information and witnessing the wonderful support you provide to eachother and newcomers alike. I've always hoped, since stumbling upon this...
