    Jenny Easy Pivot is real relief for you and I think every women need to have it.Also it would be easier for men when we need to have how to say big need.In any lift we can t to pull of our pants and right now to sit on shower chair.Only second solution is to wear diapers,but I don t does anyone use it of us with SMA.

    I dont have Hoyer lift ,my is arjo max twin lift.I delight with them when we need to be transported we need just one person to manoeuvre.At Arjo all things is electric,and must tell I got him used, and was broken his battery didn t worked and my electric put other battery with larger capacity and leave option that if battery is empty I can turn on lift in a slot.When I got it I also havent belt for him,so I must find someone to made me,and I find person who made belt,I was finding on net some map with meassure and I satisfied with him.But in reality all these things lift,wheelchair and other things are so expensive.Because of that I usually buy these things used or buy to me some good people.

    you mentioned recent suicide of celebrities,and I must admit only time that I thinked about suicide when was war in Bosnia and when my town was surrounded by Serbian and Croatian armies. In that time we havent food and enough weapons and it was heavy situation.If they came in my cities they ll kill a lot of innocent people.And if they come in my city I thought to kill myself.Luckily we manage to defense our city and thanks to US president Bill Clinton.After that I never thinked about suicide,and I never take pills for calmdown.But last years I start to feel little anxiety,similar like you Esther,so my doctor gave me Valium and I dont take it in big doses,but it helps me.

    Trough our lives friends goes because they get married or they find job in anotther city and we must find new friends.Kevin you gave good tips where can we find friends.

  • Good video Michael,I feel Cytokinetic will be more effective then Spinraza and less cheaper.

  • I think I was writing that one of my hobbies is find more friends with SMA on Facebook.Why I do that?I wanna know how they live and change our experience.For example I have more understanding to you DeAnn and you problems then some health friend.In Bosnia we say-Health man don t believe or  dont understand sick man.

    when is summer  I dont go out until 5 pm.And of course I try to avoid to be on sun.Big problem is that we are sitting all day and sweat between legs.I have friends and cousins who wanna help me when I need to pee.Every hat is good for keeping warm.In Bosnia most old men wear some hat It was funny to me but now I understand him why they wear hats to keeping them for heat

    Main thing is to find boy or girlfriend.Other things ,where we go out or who will drive me to a date is secondary thing.When I had some dates in a past with girls,it was easy for me because I live in centre of my city where has few nice caffee bars or restaurants,so I was going alone in my electric wheelchair.Of course I had sometimes problems with bad weather but if we cant to find today we had a date other day.One time I couldnt go because weather was cloudy and she came to my house and we were sitting in my garden and talk,and it was nice.
