Talking sense to my dad II

I can't advise you on this, because his response has more to do with his mindset than ours. Give him the opportunity, and the support. If he finds value, he'll benefit. I hope he does.

Don't let him get too hot.

Thanks Rip, I'll always be there for my dad. And will push him into moderate training.

What's weird is he's supposedly had ALS for 4 years, but can still walk (definitely leg muscle wastage tho) but no change to voice or speech. Voice is still pretty robust.

He got J&J and Moderna jabs 4 years ago. I'm not saying it's that, but a physician (esp. in Boston) won't even consider that possibility. A second opinion wouldn't hurt IMO, but I'm not trying to give myself hopium.

At this point, what difference does it make?

IDK, just weird to me that it's been 4 years and he's still working and walking - no real signs in upper body breakdown (speech, swallowing, words, cognition). It's an incredibly complex disease, but just strange.
