That's quite a large cohort of guinea-pigs to experiment on, we should have a cure by the end of the week! ππOriginally posted by Heather R View Post

Iβve got large collection of less than useful health care providers here. If you could manage to get that Chinook over to Canada π¨π¦, I would cheerfully donate them all to research π¬π©Ί.Originally posted by denise View Post
If you decide to use the submarine, I need advance notice so I can arrange to meet you. The sub can manage the St. Lawrence river and Lake Ontario but youβll find Niagara Falls impossible (in either direction).
Diagnosed December 2020 with lower limb onset ALS, now involving hands and arms.Comment

So we can get to Niagara Falls then we are stuffed. How many have studied the route on Google maps? Looks very exciting. I was wondering, for future reference, if anyone knows which is port and which is starboard and if they use this terminology on subs?
Looks like its Herbie the helicopter then.

Top of the morning to my fellow fruitcakes!
This week I am having a virtual picnic with my Speech and Language team.
Seriously - they have sent me a shopping list of yoghurt, banana, bread and cookies, then we have a zoom video meeting where they watch me eat it to assess my swallowing.
Wish more appointments were fun like that

Sounds like fun. More meetings should be like that. Not sure I'd be able to keep a straight face with people watching me eat. π€when i can think of something profound i will update this.Comment

No no no! Laughing when trying to eat is pretty lethal I find xDiagnosed July 2020, ALS bulbar onset. PEG and ventilator (mainly at night), and pretty poor speech, but legs still about functioning!Comment

Good afternoon lovelies ππ
denise That TV programme about dolphins which we watched yesterday gave me an idea - we can tie those useless HCPs who constantly let you down onto the backs of orcas as they migrate to their annual feeding frenzy, but not too tight so they eventually happen to fall off, oops! xxβDiagnosed 03/2007.

Just to clarify Eddie: nobody will feel your neck/throat during this swallow 'assessment', it's visual only?? xxOriginally posted by WheelsOfSteel View PostβDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.
