this is my first update since i lost my ability to use my hands to type.
i have now lost my ability to walk and use of my hands as well.
i am using a tobii dynavox system with eye gaze tEchnology to type each letter which is slow and tedious but better than not being able to communicate.
it is a loaner to see how i like it. i tried a different system on friday that seemed promising also but i will be several weeks before i can have a loaner.
in the meantime i have tobii system for a while longer. it tires my eyes but i get a little better every day.
special thanks to jessica, elijia, andjamie from psu for providing more manual communications boards and facilitating the vendor demos and equipment loans!
Dear Jim, it was great to see you at the PAGIS conference last summer! You are a very good and brave man. A mutual friend at the conference mentioned he understood you believe there could be a connection between the ALS and a flu vaccine you had. Is this true? Feel free to answer or not as you see fit.
