    Power Lift Chair Part II

    I was ready to buy a Golden Power Lift Recliner and then I came across a chair that had all the options we wanted and it felt extremely comfortable. The tipping point was it was only $1100. I took Marie to the store to try it and she agreed it felt very comfortable so we bought it. After it was...

    Wheel chair van

    Hello, In planning ahead once my PAL’s gets his PWC I assume we need to purchase a van as that is only option to take him anywhere, correct? For those who have one please chime in with what I will need. Hoping to find something reasonably priced do any suggestions there would help too. TIA

    Will a lift chair help

    My PALS is 9 months post diagnosis. His arms have little to no strength and his hands have become useless. The last few weeks he has experienced extreme weakness in his legs especially on his dominant right side. I need to help him out of his recliner as he has become too weak to get out on his...

    Wheelchair Maintenance is not an option

    I admit to having gotten a bit lax on my wheelchair maintenance. My capacity to do things is limited and I have chosen to use that capacity doing other, more interesting things. Unfortunately, I have had two recent wheelchair failures that are completely due to lack of maintenance. So, I am...

    Lift Chair Question

    For those of you with Golden lift recliners, can I get my PALS into it with a hoyer? I have been exclusively using a hoyer to transfer him for a while now. I'm pretty sure he could not stand on his own even with support, even just for a pivot transfer. (I'd be scared to death to even try.)...

    Please do not be too quick to say NO to possible ALS diagnosis

    About 3-4 years ago I came to this forum and asked the dreaded question "Do I have ALS". I had some fasciculations and cramping in my feet, balance issues, spasticity in both legs and slight speech changes. I was assured by members that my symptoms were NOT symptoms of ALS and I went merrily...

    First ALS Clinic Visit

    Yesterday we had our first ALS Clinic visit. I think my PALS was overwhelmed by all of the people. He says he is very tired. He was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago but was pretty much on a plateau until about 2 months ago when he seems to have fallen off a cliff. For the first 3 years his left...
