About Me
I am Ed Davis, from Southern Oregon. I'm married with 1 son. My wife Marilyn is my caregiver. I did a wide variety of jobs. Most were in construction. I played most sports through out my life. A lot of softball. I love to camp,fish & hunt. I was diagnosed in Feb. 96, symptoms started in 92 with twitching in shoulders. Went to a wheelchair in 98. I had no balance. It's been a slow progression. I use Smart Navigor with Click-N-Type onscreen keyboard & mouse for clicking. I spend most of my time playing texas holdem play money, MSN Pool & talking to family & friends. http://www.myspace.com/ezz_e
