Hi Harry,

That device sounds really promising. Good luck with your decision.

Was it the broken leg that caused Marg to be in a wheelchair? Or that event precipitated MS events which resulted in her being in the chair? I'm asking because if it's the MS, I am surprised that she wouldn't have chosen at some point just to give the MS drugs a try, on the off chance that they might work. It's easy enough to go off them if they're not working, but I'm just wondering what she had to lose by at least giving them a try?

I think if I was progressing rapidly or accumulating significant disability, I'd be more inclined to try things that I might not have been interested in earlier on. I certainly respect her decision, but I would imagine with increasing disability, it would have been harder and harder to say no to traditional meds. At least it would be for me.

Is your wife online at all? Does she have lots of on or offline support?
