Life in the Hospital

I just got back from the hospital stay Thursday evening, I went in because I was vomiting badly and did not want to lose any more strength. I got there about 0400 Tuesday Morning. The staff at Balboa is very very Good. The finally alleviated my problem and then searched for the problem. I was sent to x-ray, mri, ultrasound, and nuclear medicene. They finally told me that my gall bladder was bad, They wanted to take it out but the doctors warned me that I would come out of the operation with a trach, and would be ICU for a while (they said 4 wks). To say I was scared was an easy understatement. I was terrified. They finally said that another option would to be on AntiBiotics for 6 weeks and see if that helped. We will see.
I am regaining strength back, but noticed I can no longer get up from a sitting position without help.

March Musings

Well not a lot has happened. I did get a new wheelchair, and I like it a lot. We recently got a van that I can travel in with my wheelchair. It makes things easier for Atring and I.
I am seeing with all the people we visit that some of them do not know about ALS.
I educate them as best I can, but there first question is "How did you get that?"
I wish I knew.
With the start of the President Obama term, we may see a reversal in the stem cell mandate, and see more research using stem cells. I hope so. I am clinging to any hope for a cure.
I don't know what else to say.
