I have spent most of the last week saying goodbye in person and in writing. It is surreal to say goodbye and mean it. When I entered hospice at the end of last year, I knew I had some time left to see friends and share experiences. This time, it's for real. This is not a drill. My close college...

I love my Roho seat cushion on my PWC but the seat back is relatively hard and increasingly rough on my spine. I'm concerned that I am developing the beginning of pressure sores on a few spots. Short of replacing the whole seat back, can anyone recommend a thin gel pad that I can put behind my...

I was not aware of the Brigance Brigade Foundation and their support for CALS in particular until I read this very nice article in the Guardian.

Both Windows 10 and Chrome recently updated and now I'm no longer receiving notifications for this forum and the other sites. I assume it's something in Chrome but all of my settings still say Allow. Has this happened to anyone else?

There is an interview in NH tonight with Diane Rehm, who wrote a book about both sides of the Right to Die debate.

For those of you who use a Tobii and are on Facebook, I recommend joining the group called Tobii Dynavox Community. Although some posts relate to its products for other disabilities, I have posted a few questions, made suggestions (and received responses from the Tobii development team), and...

I take all of my food through my feeding tube and recently cut back on my calories in the hopes of reducing bloating and reflux. In the morning my caregiver will blend an 11 ounce container of Kate Farms peptide with 12 ounces of Liquid Hope, about 950 calories total plus prune juice and water...
