I'm in Vancouver B.C. Canada
 

I'm 64 years old, triplegic (meaning I can only use my left arm and hand) and wheelchair-bound

I've been married and divorced 2 1/2 times -- the last relationship collapses were directly related to my Multiple Sclerosis

I have no family, no friends left, money anymore, not a lot of fun...

I'm generally an upbeat kind of guy... but I'm very very lonely and I sometimes get frightened about what's going to happen to me

I've been planning my final exit more and more lately...:grouphug:

Best wishes for everybody

Richard Long:)

Hi, Richard...
 

It's very good to meet you! I'm sorry you are having such a rough time right now, but I have to second what Gumby said. I know that it's the hardest thing in the world to live with no security and little physical contact, especially when you need both so very much right now. But I do hope you hang in there. You never know when the first day of a better life will begin. Good luck and the very best of wishes to you! :)

Hi ----I'm new here today, but a 30+ year veteran of the rehab community on the service side. I am an engineer and I've worked with state and fed agencies for most of my work life.

There is a company in Vancouver whose products I've used and recommended. The company is WordLogic. The President's name is Franklin Evansheen. They made a word and phrase prediction software product that is remarkable. This is a great aid to someone who is a one handed or one finger typist.

This is my way of saying Hello and replying to you in Vancouver..

Hi, Richard! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!
