Some of you may be aware that I recently graduated from Sac State with a Special Master of Science in Therapeutic Aging.

It is testing our family
My prayers are with you, your father and your family.
thanks for your input
My dad has ALS and has fallen several times. It is a horrible situation. Many die from falls. Do you have experience with this particular scenerio
