ALS and cooking changes
There has been a major change in our lives, a very difficult one. Over a year ago, my husband was diagnosed with ALS. The first year went rather smoothly with only slurred speech but in the past months, there has been a big change. He can't swallow and has a feeding tube. His speech is unintelligible and his ability to breathe has changed although I am thankful, he is breathing on his own. I don't really have to say more.
