Lupis, wasn't it, Galen? How's it going?

Actually it is called primary lateral sclerosis, though few even in the
medical profession are at all familiar with it. It has been described as
a
"gentler and kinder" form of ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease). Although I can't
walk or talk too well anymore, I can still paddle a kayak, and do often,
in
fact one lives in my van. Although I don't do much white water stuff
myself, I am looking at some property near Big Shoals, the best white
water
in the whole Waterfall State.

Why does PLS not affect your paddling and balance so much, Galen? Seems like
that would he harder than walking, unless its because there's fewer muscles
involved.
