[Blind-rollers] Hi from a new member

[Brian Langlois]

Hello, Eva,
My wife, Leslie is totally blind since birth (1953) and was diagnosed with 
secondary progressive multiple sclerosis 10 years ago.
She is unable to walk, cannot talk very well and has trouble with hand 
control.
Since last summer, when she had a problem with bowel obstruction, she had to 
be hospitalized and subsequently went to a nursing home.
I have been working to obtain more Personal Care Assistants to come to our 
house to provide the care she needs.
Hopefully, withing a couple of weeks, she will be home.
I don't post very often on this list, but welcome.
Your English is quite good, by the way.
