About Me
Hi- my name is Linda, I was dx with ALS March 2007. My first symptom was August 2006 in my hand.My fingers were bent and very weak. I have been married for 42 years and have a daughter Brea, age 30 and my son Sean is age 40. My career was in Telecommunications/Voice. I depend on my family for everything. I miss everything I could do before, especially dancing at my son's gigs (he is in a band). I now dance in my chair . I also miss playing with my grandchildren. Pals web site is wonderful & very helpful. www.myspace.com/thehoppegroup www.myspace.com/berthagail
