    Mods to RV

    While my work may have limited use for other PALS, hopefully someone will benefit. I purchased the specific RV with it's 8 x 12 ft garage for its adaptability. I removed the two queen beds, but kept the electric lift. In the first picture, I have installed a twin bed with electric leg and...

    Any tips for transferring to toilet?

    My family is struggling to transfer me on and off the toilet. It was not as bad until recently I have little strength in my legs. My wife tries to get me up from under the arms and tries then to hold me up as she pants me. Then down on the toilet. Then she goes under the arms again and tries...

    Van features that you have found helpful?

    We are looking for an accessible van. What specific features in a van should we be looking for to make things easier, or what have you found helpful? Passenger seat that we can transfer into? Manual or power ramps? Is side or rear entry better? We also need to have a row of seats for our kids.

    Very helpful transfer "sling"

    If your PALS is still able to stand, even with great difficulty, this transfer "sling" may help you to maintain your ability to do stand-pivot transfers from bed to w/chair, etc. I have found it amazingly helpful for transfers in and out of the car. Your PALS must still have some leg strength...

    Lift Recommendations

    I am fed up with my manual lift. I am looking for recommendations for a power/electric lift. I'd like one that is portable, so we can take it with us if we travel. I know insurance will not pay for a power lift, but I'm at the end of my rope with the manual one I have. My husband is tall...

    How my mom went

    My mom passed away in June, less than 2 years after diagnosis. I honestly do not think it was the ALS that finally took her but I guess it could have been. She got a feeding tube 1 year earlier even tho she could still swallow, because they recommended getting it early while it wouldn't be...
