I have read several posts where Grandpa Al asks new members to give info about themselves so they can become "part of the family". I would very much like to become part of this amazing family. I am 42 and have had ALS for about eight years. Several years ago, I started a website to help organize our "Share the Care" team. When I was trached in Dec. of 2004, most team members were no longer comfortable caring for me, so the team fell apart. Luckily, this coincided with our receiving county funding for in-home caregivers, so everything worked out.
My wife (Jen) and I noticed that my positive attitude seemed to be making a difference in my progression compared to our friends in the ALS community, so I decided to use the website as a tool to show other PALS that you can still live a fulfilling life with ALS.
I think the easiest way to introduce myself is to send you to my website (typing takes a while). There is a basic introduction on the Home page, my ALS history on the A Brief History page, and some info about what I have learned along the way on the Thoughts on Life page. Please take a look when you have a few minutes.
Thanks,
Mike
