    New kid

    Hello- Just thought I'd introduce myself here. I had asked a few questions on the DIHALS thread previously, but am now reluctantly part of the general population here. I have been told by two separate neurologists, one of whom is a BC ALS clinic director, that I have either PLS or UMN onset ALS-...

    1 Peter

    I over heard the children in church as they where working on memorizing the entire book of 1Peter. As I listened to them I had some thoughts about what they where reciting. I thought I would write those thoughts and more down as a brief commentary on the book. 1 Peter 1: 1,2 New King James...

    Blessings

    "Blessing" is a word that is thrown around a lot in our society and so I decided some time ago to do a in depth study of the scriptures to try and Biblically understand its meaning. In short what I found is that a blessing is anything that directs us a way from ourselves and to the person and...

    My breathing still sucks

    I saw the pulmonologist this week. They did an arterial blood gas and spirometry. They have stopped doing the full up Pulmonary Function Test because it just wears me out too much and does not provide meaningful information. The good news is that my arterial blood gas numbers are ok. In...

First, let me say I have a general fear of the doctor… like White Coat syndrome all the way. So I am someone who waits until it gets bad before I go. I am...

    Stumble

    My mom, my only parent,my PALS, you knew her as Stumbles or Sandy. She passed tonight. She was beautiful and strong and a whole lot of crazy if you ask me.

    When you worry about the little things...

    ... the big things getcha! So, last night I’m putting air in the tire of my van (which we haven’t driven since June 2013) when I see a wasp nest inside the wheel well. Thinking “I sure as hell don’t want to get stung by one of them *****es!”, I ‘jump’ back to avoid that to which I am nowadays...

    Promised eulogy

    I promised a eulogy. But found that sharing Elaine’s life is what we all have been doing. Going back, reading all her posts and thread contributions was a renewed education in how I would like to be. Not just thought of, but really ‘be’. Here, instead of a eulogy, I share some of Elaine’s...
