From what little I hear, typing is becoming less effective. I am type 3 but I have very late onset, mid teens before I was actually tested and diagnosed. Walked until I was 55, but around that time started to lose strength fast. By some measures that would make me type 4ish.

I look at these sweet little ones who have been treated with the gene…[Read more]

I would agree with Alyssa. Talk to your doctor.

As Jeremy said if you can get either the Pfizer or Moderna, there is NO actual virus involved.  Still check with your doctor. He or she knows you best.

Switch to Linux!

But seriously, that OS is not very gaming friendly.

I will be watching this to see what others suggest.

I got my flu shot last week and my covid booster this week. I am also continuing to wear masks when I go out. It is enough.

Not skilled with electronics, but replacing that button/connection should be simple and reasonably affordable. Look for a fix it person. When I was a kid they were almost in every town.  It might not be a perfect fit, but should be obtainable.

I also hate losing the ability to do those things I used to love doing. Sometimes I can modify the…[Read more]

Nope, but they do make a nasty grindy sound.

Spinraza for me, treatment #8 I think, on Monday.  I got that news this morning.

I don’t need gastrointestinal issues with Eversdi.

I have not had any issues with Spinraza, make sure you do call your doctor and let us know their suggestions.

I got Phizer.

Going out now with a mask, but avoiding crowds seems like the best for me personally.

I had Covid before it was officially is the US, very early January 2020 and do not want it again.

I’m so sorry Gary. I often feel that the base height is very high on these chairs and they feel like they will tip.   But what I can tell you is that it is very hard to actually tip one. I have gone off road over rocks (could have done bad things to the chair, but it was fun).

Permobil F3, nothing too fancy, although it now comes with a lighting package.

Still can’t believe Medicare will not pay for a elevator. If I don’t have that, I need many hours from a PCA. Fortunately I can pay for it myself.

DeAnn, that looks great.  I have now ordered my new chair. Just made a couple changes hoping to solve issues I didn’t know about last time.

I have been told it should only take 2 to 3 months. Say it is so!

I just wish I could find shoes that fit.

With the swelling it is hard to find any, tho I expect I will be trying your sister in law’s idea.  I already have some old shoes I can’t stuff my feet into.

It is worse than that, it is coming all the way from California.  With all the rain we in New England have had this year, the West Coast is in a historic drought.

I am thankful that my breathing has not been effected.

Praying for those caught in proximity to these fires.

As I write, I am sitting in my Permobile chair a foot and a half away from the table because as you said, you can’t change the height enough to get under the table at most restaurants. With the current table in the outdoor Cafe, my footrests are actually touching the table base as well.

I am actually going to get measured for a new chair in a…[Read more]

Glad you were able to get your shot!    Last time I got mine, I had a terrible slump just before.

Thankful for doctors who, even although they are so very busy, still work to make things better for each of us.

Our van conversion growls whenever it starts, but so far nothing serious. That is just the exhaust pipe against the heavy metal skirt that protects the undercarriage.

I did have to replace the transmission on a previous van, it was almost $2000 but the car was only 5 years old and ran for several years after that was replaced. I hope you have as…[Read more]

I like both.

My wife and I did take an overnight trip last month and brought my manual hoyer lift.  It broke into two heavy pieces, but my wife got it to work.

Small but mighty VICTORY!
