Hi Jim!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:14:17 PM)
Hi Beth how are you

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:15:28 PM)
I'm great! How are you?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:16:03 PM)
fine ty

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:17:55 PM)
Tx on top of the BCS again!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:19:21 PM)
yes I think Penn St will be in it

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:21:04 PM)
They're at 3 I believe... They had a great game this week!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:24:21 PM)
yes # 3 but I think either TX or AL will lose a game

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:25:25 PM)
Penn St shouldn't

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:25:32 PM)
Here's hoping!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:26:15 PM)
lol

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:28:04 PM)
Do you know if DanG has moved yet?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:29:01 PM)
AL has LSU, Auburn, and possibly Florida

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:30:02 PM)
I have not heard from Dan

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:30:51 PM)
No news is good news?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:31:44 PM)
I hope so

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:33:59 PM)
Scott Van Pelt thinks JoePa will win a championship bowl game!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:35:25 PM)
That is certainly possible

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:37:02 PM)
Joe is a good guy

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:37:12 PM)
He also thinks AL might have trouble with Auburn...

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:37:59 PM)
He's been there forever!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:38:10 PM)
yes and LSU

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:38:55 PM)
lol and a day

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:39:42 PM)
The Giants played well in the fourth quarter :)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:40:53 PM)
Tx has TX Tech and KS

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:41:34 PM)
Yes they did

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:44:07 PM)
the Redskins squeaked by

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:44:33 PM)
Off topic question - On your eye gaze system, do you use one eye or both? I tried an Erica system with one eye, drove me nuts!

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:45:10 PM)
Yeah, but they won!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:46:59 PM)
I have a dot on my glasses

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:48:03 PM)
Oh, so you move your head to type?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:48:39 PM)
I use my arm also

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:49:35 PM)
How?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:50:15 PM)
I tape the mouse to mu hand

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:52:00 PM)
Lol! That must be fun! So you can still use the mouse, clicks?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:52:28 PM)
with double sided tape

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:54:32 PM)
I have an autoclicker and a wireless mouse

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:56:30 PM)
An autoclicker? How do you tell it you want to click?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:56:44 PM)
big mouse - almost a rat

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 2:58:38 PM)
it clicks when you hover over something

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:58:45 PM)
Lol! That's an image!

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 2:59:29 PM)
How do you double click?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:00:04 PM)
the click time is adjustable

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:02:18 PM)
there is an onscreen button for that and right-click

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:03:40 PM)
and you move your head cursor over it?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:04:18 PM)
(This user has entered Living with ALS)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:04:44 PM)
hi mom

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:04:51 PM)
Hi Jim.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:05:05 PM)
Hi Mom! My name's Beth

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:05:34 PM)
Jim, Havent talked to you in some time. How are things going?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:05:49 PM)
Hi Beth

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:07:06 PM)
the cursor follows your head movement via infrared

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:07:24 PM)
Beth do you have ALS or know someone that does have it.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:08:30 PM)
My mom has it, was diagnosed in Jan. this year.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:08:36 PM)
great here mom how are things with you

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:09:11 PM)
I have ALS for 16 years

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:09:57 PM)
I'm hanging in there. My moms not doing too well though.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:09:59 PM)
how is your mom

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:10:55 PM)
Sorry to hear that

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:10:59 PM)
sorry to hear that

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:11:56 PM)
She finally got the feeding tube (feedings) straightened out. But can no longer eat any regular food.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:13:45 PM)
Now she gets 4 (8oz) injevity (?) at night....and 1 can during the day.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:14:06 PM)
it is good that she got a tube

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:14:07 PM)
That's Jim's area of expertise, I don't have a feeding tube

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:15:06 PM)
do you have a pump

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:15:31 PM)
I think some do much better at the feeding tube than others. My mom is 77 and it seems the als is progressing so rapidly.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:16:56 PM)
Yes. It took her to become dehydrated and very very weak ended up in the hospital, until each of her drs finally got their heads together and got her straightened out.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:17:25 PM)
I don't have tube trouble

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:17:48 PM)
good

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:18:11 PM)
Momma you have als for 16 years. Does als go into a remission?

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:18:46 PM)
That's too bad it got that bad!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:19:31 PM)
I watch my fluid intake closely

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:20:24 PM)
I don't know about remission, I've just got a reeaally slow progression

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:20:29 PM)
Unfortunately she is down to about 90lbs, legs are no longer supporting her as such. She can no longer talk.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:20:51 PM)
(((((Mamma))))) I hope that it will continue that way for you.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:21:47 PM)
can she use a computer

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:21:49 PM)
Momma if its slow enough I pray that there is a cure soon.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:22:39 PM)
How long before dx were her symptoms noticed? Thanks Mom!

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:23:14 PM)
Jim my folks dont have a computer and arent really interested in one. Mom does have a key board that can volcaize for her. But she prefers to write yet at this point.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:24:00 PM)
I'm praying it will happen soon!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:24:49 PM)
good that she can use her hands

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:25:05 PM)
Mom was dx in Jan 2008. First dx with neuropathy in late 2006. One leg was giving her trouble, drop foot and shrinking muscles.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:25:52 PM)
Does she have diabetes?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:25:59 PM)
Momma I try to look up anything about als research, but always seems to run in circles.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:26:11 PM)
No diabetes.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:26:50 PM)
It just hit fast and hard.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:27:29 PM)
Jim, does ALS TDI have anything on their website?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:27:38 PM)
Jim how are things going for you?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:27:39 PM)
nothing much new in research

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:28:57 PM)
about the same for the last 5 years

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:29:36 PM)
about research?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:29:52 PM)
My folks live a few miles from nuclear plant and off a golf course....makes you wonder about the enviroment. Toxic garbage all over.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:30:27 PM)
Momma can you still get around on your own?

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:30:35 PM)
Mom, I think you would like the Patients Like Me website... It's a great place for venting and support. It's at patientslikeme.com

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:31:11 PM)
Thanks momma...I'll be sure to note that in my file.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:32:11 PM)
I have an electric w/c I use to get around, I also have AFO's on my legs for support when I walk with someone

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:32:34 PM)
My moms saying throughout life during rough times was always "this too shall pass". I feel terrible that I cant say that to her. There is nothing I can do for her really.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:33:21 PM)
I think it is a genetic allergy

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:33:49 PM)
Love her and support her is all you can do

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:34:15 PM)
My mom got her electric w/c last month...she does pretty good in it too. But doesnt go out of the house with it. We push her in the manual one.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:34:50 PM)
Jim als?

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:35:24 PM)
yes

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:35:55 PM)
My sister and I go out to see my folks every weekend. Try to clean, do some laundry and bring food for my dad.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:36:17 PM)
Well its a crappy allergy.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:36:35 PM)
nice

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:37:01 PM)
yes it is

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:37:06 PM)
If she can get the Ew/c outside, you should! I had my first chair in 1996 and used it to cruise through the neighborhood by myself! It was liberating!

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:38:40 PM)
I wish we could, the weather is getting colder here, and I know she won't go out alone.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:39:04 PM)
I cannot drive mine

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:39:07 PM)
Shes so frail and so tired.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:39:32 PM)
No hand movement jim?

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:40:24 PM)
Where is here? I forgot it was changing seasons! I'm in CT

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:41:21 PM)
My mom is having trouble sleeping now at night. She has a hospital bed and sits up trys to lay down but loses her breath. She doesnt like to shut the light out at night. I think shes afraid.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:41:54 PM)
no I can move my right arm slightly

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:42:21 PM)
IL suburb of chicago. It was actually snowing a minute ago....I'm still waiting for the indian summer. lol

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:42:42 PM)
Does she have a bi-pap?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:43:00 PM)
(((((Jim))))) I'm sorry.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:43:22 PM)
I can't wait for snow!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:43:32 PM)
ty

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:43:46 PM)
Momma is that a breathing device?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:43:51 PM)
yw

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:44:44 PM)
does she have a pulmonologist

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:45:27 PM)
Yes, it is... It helps move air in the lungs

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:46:49 PM)
I used to love the change is the seasons. But it's getting to be more work as I get older. LOL We had alot of snow last winter...and then had alot of rain spring and summer. We caught effects of the hurricane that hit texas not long ago. Flooded alot of area here. We were very fortunate we are on higher ground.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:47:22 PM)
How often does she see her neurologist? He should be on top of her breathing troubles

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:48:39 PM)
bipap would certainly help help her sleep

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:48:45 PM)
Yes she does have a pulmonologist. I think they told her the next step was to do a trach (sp) first one where she can suction excess mucus. Then later to add a trach tube for breathing.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:49:17 PM)
How do they hook it up?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:50:23 PM)
I'm going to have to get off her soon. My daughter needed to computer for homework.....never have alone time anymore. lol

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:50:32 PM)
(here)

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:50:48 PM)
(needs)

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:04 PM)
It's a hose attached to a mask and it plugs into an ordinary plug outlet

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:08 PM)
Oh yes can you tell by my typing skills I could use alone time. lol

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:40 PM)
bipap has various types of masks

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:45 PM)
Is it like an oxygen mask.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:56 PM)
Is it loud?

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:51:56 PM)
Lol! I hear you mom!

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:52:39 PM)
no and no

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:53:16 PM)
Momma do you have kids?? I have kids, dog a gold fish and a husband...I'm not sure which is the worst of them all. lol

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:53:29 PM)
It is more firmly attached to the face to keep out leaks

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:54:02 PM)
(no offence Jim)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:54:37 PM)
I know a guy who has been on bipap for years

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:54:47 PM)
It makes it easier to breath while sleeping? No cutting envolved?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:54:59 PM)
(breathe)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:55:16 PM)
yes

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:55:17 PM)
Yes, we have one son, Rob, and wanted more but ALS struck! He's 17 and a great kid!

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:56:52 PM)
Thats terrific Momma. I have a 25yr old and a 13 yr old. The older one had moved out and is back home again...I think he likes it here. I guess I'm going to have to stop being so nice...lol.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 3:58:12 PM)
I would look into a bipap

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:58:41 PM)
25 yr old (my son) 13 yr old (my daughter) 6yr old basset hound....and a 49 yr old husband which sometimes acts younger than the dog. lol

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 3:59:33 PM)
Jim I will. I'll talk to my dad tomorrow. She what my moms dr thinks.

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 3:59:40 PM)
Bi-pap Here's a page on bi-pap http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bipap.htm

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:00:07 PM)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:00:39 PM)

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:00:43 PM)
Thanks momma. I've got it down.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:01:18 PM)
That great Jim. Does he live close to you?

mommazooms (Oct 27, 2008 4:02:12 PM)
Are your parents close by?

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:04:12 PM)
Jim does he come over to see you often.

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:04:16 PM)
I'm actually a Jim too but Jim_va was here first

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:05:30 PM)
yes he was here yesterday

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:05:48 PM)
My son visits with my folks at times, but he works different hours, so then adding on the ride out there it isnt really convienent.

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:07:09 PM)
Its great he comes to visit. I do know my mom enjoys the visits...breaks up her day.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:07:36 PM)
he is doing some brick work here

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:09:13 PM)
but comes by about once a week

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:10:13 PM)
It great to have someone to give you some help with things you cant do. My dad is a heart patient (meaning cardiac disease, nothing more they can do for him either) so we try and help him with things around the house as well.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:11:30 PM)
yes it is

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:11:42 PM)
Well all, my daughter is moaning to get on the computer. So I'd better get off line and not be the cause of her failing her class. (you know mom's get blamed for everything...LOL)

momsangel (Oct 27, 2008 4:12:29 PM)
Thanks for all the support today. It always makes me feel better when I come in here.

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:12:55 PM)

Is it possible to have Texas & Penn State to meet in a bowl game?

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:19:36 PM)
Maybe when AL loses to FL

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:19:59 PM)
That would work out good. My wife went to Penn state

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:20:14 PM)
We are planning to go ..

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:20:31 PM)
they need a rest

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:21:09 PM)
It's better to not have a break

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:21:23 PM)
They would get complacent

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:21:44 PM)
lol

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:23:38 PM)
I tried to get my college roomate to commit to trip but he won't discuss it until end of season

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:23:50 PM)
Avoid jinxing it

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:25:25 PM)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:44:45 PM)
TN was tough the 1st half

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:45:08 PM)
It looked close then the dam broke

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:46:05 PM)

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:46:55 PM)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:47:23 PM)

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:48:03 PM)

Jim_VA (Oct 27, 2008 4:49:04 PM)

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:55:40 PM)

westjlittle (Oct 27, 2008 4:59:36 PM)
