Hello. My husband was diagnosed with ALS in summer of 2022. It began in both of his hands and also affected his speech. He has steadily progressed to a lot of difficulty eating, talking and using his hands, but has shown no signs in his legs. I worry about upsetting him by planning for an issue that isn’t here yet, but we do not have a full bathroom on the first floor of our home. Our stairs will not be able to accommodate the addition of a chair lift, so if/when he is in a wheelchair, we will need to remodel and add a downstairs shower to the 1/2 bath. Is there anyone who can describe the progression to the lower limbs after bulbar and upper limb symptoms?
