I was release last Monday from in-home to outpatient physical therapy. I went to the first session and they spent an hour and 15 minutes with me for the initial evaluation and exercise regiment. I was impressed and excited as to what this can do for me.

Hi everyone. Let me first say that I have seen the pain and frustration caregivers go through everyday and I admire the strength all of you have to make it through the daily stuggle that is inevitable with ALS.
I am a social worker by education, but was working temporarily, or so I thought...
