Every day seems more like "Ground Hogs Day". My son and I have been caring for our PALS since September 2011. The first few years were not bad. He still could talk, walk, and eat. As the disease progressed, he decided on a feeding peg tube and much later, a ventilator. He is paralyzed...

I am progressing fast, and my CALS is my husband who is disabled and needs hip replacement surgery. Currently, he can still help me. I have a lady who comes Mon-Fri for 1 hour to help get me cleaned up and dressed. This is what is bothering me - if my husband gets the surgery, how will he be...
