Rave of the Day for July 9, 2008:
Good local article about the use of the ERICA (Eye Response Interface Computer Aid) device and how it helps a rock musician communicate and continue to write and mix music. Courtesy of the Argus Leader....
Device sidesteps ALS' effects
I think able bodied people sometimes underestimate how isolating a serious illness can be. I know of a lady who uses one of these devices when she can, and it is enormously important to her as her only means of communication with anyone outside her hospital room.
I think the message here is to do what you love as long as you can, even if you have to modify the means to do it. And like I always say, do the best you can with whatever you've got to work with.
