Hi'ya Bobby,

I'm reading your posts . I might not respond to each post (lack of time), but I ammmmmm reading and learning.

I had posted at the BT SD (Spinal Disorder) Forum some time ago about why I care to learn about ALS and, when possible, help in whatever way I might. The short version (since I have guests arriving today and need to get ready) is:

My former - and he's former because he retired from work - Physical Therapist (PT) is related to Lou Gehrig.

The last memory the PT has of his parents was of them dropping him off and abandoning him when he was a small child (age three or four), while he stood there, in a gravel driveway, crying. It was done out of fear and ignorance, and those are the things that I don't want rearing in my life.

You're not here alone, Bobby .
