    Just another veteran story....

    The last Viet Nam Veterans celebration held the Charlotte Motor Speed Way… I and a few others almost felt out of place. I have no pony tail, long beard, earring, tattoos, vest with pins all over it or jungle fatigues and jungle boots. I don’t remember what I did with the fatigues and boots. I...

    My Story of ALS for 24 years now

    I was diagnosed with ALS on January 8, 2001. Was given 2-5 years to live. The doctors were concerned though that they could not find any muscle fasciculations anywhere on my body. I was referred to another doctor for their input. Her view on the EMG results were that she did not want to say...

    Importance of reading to your children

    The Million Word Gap Parents who take time to read aloud to their children are doing them a huge favor. Not only is it a memorable bonding activity, but it's also a way to jump-start a child's education and put them on the fast track to literacy. Many parents and caretakers know this...

    Adventures in van parking, part 2

    The beach bar...

    Just something to read… in the “After 5 Forum Pub”. It took me a few days to put this together. My writing skills aren’t what they used to be. After Spring Break and for the rest of the year our beach bar often reminded me of a Chameleon. It was a side gig I got involved with. From opening...

    No diagnosis but something is off

    How are you?

    How I hate that question now. It's become almost a default greeting. I know most people are trying to be kind by asking, but I honestly don't know how to answer anymore. I usually just say "We're OK" or "We're hanging in there". But honestly, we're not OK. And I'm sometimes just hanging...

    I went to a neuromuscular specialist who said the ALS symptoms that I thought I had were definitively not ALS based on his exam of muscle strength and reflexes etc...I feel better and then I read something like this and makes me think that I still might have this ( I have subjective muscle...
