About Me
http://alsdon.blogspot.com/ . Over the past 3 years, as I've entered into this new phase of my life as an ALS PALS, I've noticed my disease can be (some days more than others) the center of my universe. I don't think that is totally healthy. So I'm going to strive to live my life to the fullest. . Please visit my ALS Blog site. I try to post a new message every month. . http://alsdon.blogspot.com/
