Hi everyone,
I am concerned about my husband. (DX 8/07) How does one know when it is becoming unsafe for a Pals to drive? My husband does not communicate about his ALS very much, and when asked he will give me limited info. He admits that his legs are getting weaker and I can see it when he walks and goes up the stairs. We go back to clinic on Thurs. and I would like to ask the doc about it, but I am worried that if I bring it up he will get mad and not let me go with him to his appointments (He has done that in the past with his ortho doc) I guess I can try calling the doc after our appt. I was just wondering at what point any of your Pals knew that it was time to give up driving. Thanks for any feedback.
