It's holding up okay, thanks. I think that I was blessed to have limb-onset. I don't know how the bulbar crowd copes. I would rather keep my voice and my ability to breathe unassisted for as long as possible. I was using a voice to text program, supposedly the best one, and it kept adding apostrophes where they didn't belong. It was driving me crazy. We have ordered an optical unit that lets you do everything by eye movement. Shouldn't need that for quite some time, but other ALS patients tell me to get it and master it ASAP, while still health enough. My good news is that from October on last year until now, all of my markers have stayed virtually the same (after a big progression from July-Sept). I think that we have really slowed it down to almost a standstill. Just happy for every day that it doesn't progress. Again, thank you for asking! Have a great night. RM
