Caregiver Perspective

http://www.livingwithals.net/alssupport_011.htm

They think I have ALS , he said, Lou Gehrig s disease. Was my emphatic reply. There is no way why do they think that? After assuring me he did not want me to come home to be with him, we said good-bye and agreed to talk when I got home from work. I was able to dry my tears and prepare for the remainder of meetings I had to attend that day. Thus was the beginning of my journey through the valley of death with my husband and best friend. I had no idea what our future held. Patient and Caregiver Perspectives.

Caregiver Support Information

http://www.livingwithals.net/alssupport_014.htm

It took me 3 years to realize I needed help. I think that was because RL did not progress as quickly as some ALS patients, and I clung to the hope that he would never get to the point where we needed help. But that time has come, and I am sharing the things that have been most helpful to me. One of my best resources is books.reading other peoples' stories of the obstacles they encountered on their caregiver journeys. The books I mention on the next page are available on Amazon. Take care of yourself.

I am sharing some of the things I have learned to help me deal with the heartache and stress, and the role that faith played. Our prayer is that this site will be a blessing and encouragement to someone walking through this valley of death. This is the story of RL (Patient) and Carol (Caregiver) Davis.

Patient Care Information

http://www.livingwithals.net/alssupport_003.htm

I had Hepatitis C a few years ago, so I don't tolerate medication well. Everything I take is a vitamin or natural supplement. Patient and Caregiver Perspectives. St John s Wort (natural anti-depressant). Carb powder (I use this because I'm not getting carbs in any other form.). Greens (kale, spinach, turnips, collards). You can add other veggies like carrots if you can tolerate them; they make me cramp. Slurred speech - I have speech software on my iPad which I use to speak publicly. Uncontrollable laugh...

Out of the Blue Too: Many years ago - I wrote this for my father

http://alsdon.blogspot.com/2014/06/many-years-ago-i-wrote-this-for-my.html

Out of the Blue Too. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Many years ago - I wrote this for my father. Download the original attachment. I wanted to tell my dad how much I appreciated him and I wrote this when I was a young adult. You taught me to respect nature and the environment by setting the best example. You taught me not to sweat the little stuff when I broke the jeep brake cylinder trying to learn more about how cars work. You helped me with college calculus and understood when engineering was too much for me.

Out of the Blue Too: My College Major

http://alsdon.blogspot.com/2015/03/my-college-major.html

Out of the Blue Too. Thursday, March 19, 2015. When I was first accepted into college at Colorado State University (CSU) my major was Forestry because of my love of the great outdoors. I love to fish, hunt, rock climb, backpacking and snow skiing. However I learned that PhD’s in Forestry was basically only doing meaningless tasks by emptying garbage bins in parks. That was in 1975. I didn't want that for my career. Washing dishes (oh yeah! I changed to Industrial Technology! When I married Hing I would b...

Out of the Blue Too: Ten Years with ALS!

http://alsdon.blogspot.com/2015/02/ten-years-with-als.html

Out of the Blue Too. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Ten Years with ALS! We were so young to live with this disease. We were in such a state of shock we decided not to say anything to our family. Fortunately my ALS doctor was extremely hopeful and compassionate. He is on the international ALS board and said don’t give up! Hing spent time researching ways to slow down my disease. For example our family went organic. More reason for hope! In late 2005 we started building an extension to our house off of the f...

Out of the Blue Too: The song - Walking in Memphis

http://alsdon.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-song-walking-in-memphis.html

Out of the Blue Too. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The song - Walking in Memphis. Every time I listen to this song it reminds me of. My mind fills with fond memories of my wife and family went to the different places in this song. I put my memories phrases below the lyrics. Put on my blue suede shoes. And I boarded the plane. Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues. In the middle of the pouring rain. Won't you look down over me. Yeah, I got a first class ticket. But I'm as blue as a boy can be. Café I...

Living With Alpha 1

Living With Alpha 1. Getting back to running. Before I was diagnosed, my wife and I ran 5Ks. She started it, really. A bunch of her friends were into running and they convinced her to run a race. I volunteered to be her running buddy while training around the neighborhood. Things went pretty smoothly for our first race. I think our first time was somewhere around the 39 minute mark. It was definitely less than 40 minutes, which was our goal for the first race. It was one thing after another. My foot ...

loving beyond ALS | Just another WordPress.com site

Just another WordPress.com site. May 8, 2011. One of the really crappy things about the ALS diagnosis is that the disease progresses pretty quickly (in some cases) and there are no cures (yet) or medications that can slow it all down for more than a smidge (yet), so you are told to get your affairs in order and if you have something you want to do, do it. Now. Don’t wait. I am expecting some bitter-sweet times ahead as Will gets ready to launch into this next phase. March 9, 2011. Update on the drug trial.

Living with ALS by Tom Swift

Living with ALS by Tom Swift. A Few Words In Closing. This is my last article for the St. James Epistle. I developed pneumonia in early January and I did not recover fully. By the time you read this, I may be dead. I realize that is blunt, but I want to be clear. Here are a few thoughts before I go. Why didn't God heal me? I am not afraid of dying and death. I am not afraid of dying because I am in hospice care. The caring and professional staff will make sure I die in comfort and dignity. I ...I feel sa...
