Hi All,
I just found this site yesterday & so glad I did. I was diagnosed with ALS in late March everything is moving very quickly. I could walk a few steps with a walker in early April but now can not walk at all. I can stand about 30 seconds with a walker in order to have my husband pull my pants on or off. I can tell my arms are also getting weaker. I am sitting most of the time as my husband uses a Hoyer lift to take me from the bed to livingroom recliner or manual wc. I am waiting for my pwc and it should be another 2 months before I get it. No idea what I would do if we didn't have a Hoyer lift.
Any good ideas on what to sit on so you don't get sores on your behind?
Thanks,
Leslie
