I bought an Invacare P900 XDT folding power chair used last week for $100.00 it was almost new. It needed batteries and a charger which I got for under $200.00.
I got it because I can still walk and wanted something we could fold and put in our car (I cant buy a van yet), but for longer...
Hubby and Heidi went for a walk
Heidi smelled a rabbit and didn't wait to talk
She shot into the ditch and ran around a bush
And hubby tired to follow her and landed on his tush.
Sigh. This only happened because I took a sick day and went back to bed after getting my sweetie up and dressed...
Hi everyone. I heard from my mom yesterday that my father has stopped using toothpaste to brush his teeth. Once a day he's running a brush with water over them and using mouthwash. She said he didn't tell her why he's doing this.
He can still eat and speak so I'm not sure what's going on...

I am a 38-year old female. Over the past couple months, I’ve had some concerning symptoms and am hoping some of you can shed some light on whether they may be indicative of ALS. My right forearm and bicep feel very week and are easily fatigued and often sore as if I’ve done an intense workout...
So I've been at this process trying to get a diagnosis for three years now. It's been a hard road. I am still in the Army and have been for 17 years. My disease process and diagnosis has literally been all over the place! I'm no faker or malingerer, quite the opposite. I was used to running five...

My husband's O2 levels were running at 85 when he had his PEG installed, they dropped to 75 last week when I called to admit him to hospice. At his last two hospice nurse visits, his O2 was at 95. The change seems strange as I figured the levels would continue to slide, but he has been using...
