FYI - cared for a good friend/brother years ago as he was dying from ALS.  Most horrific disease you could possibly imagine.  Watched it go from a bit of a limp handshake to using a straw to type words in about 4 years.  Worst part is that while it slowly takes use of inch by inch of your body you are completely mental aware as you become a prisoner.  Two young kids left trying to figure out why dad can't even hug them anymore and he gets moved from room to room like a potted plant - but is completely aware of every second.  Brutal, brutal stuff. 

Thanks for sharing Apollo... I quoted it because it got paged

Was an amazing dude.  He can't so much as swing a hammer anymore and is organizing the rest of us to help retrofit homes across Austin for other ALS families because he was pissed at how little thought general contractors put in to unique needs of ALS sufferers who progress from general unsteadiness to quadriplegic who can't speak or swallow.
