I visited for a short while with Denny today to catch up on how he’s been this holiday season, and snapped a few more photos of his progression.

Denny needs two hands to open his pack of cigarettes.

Denny’s leg braces help keep him walking around the house without additional support most of the time.

Denny shows how the progression of ALS has crippled his hands, and cause atrophy of some of his muscles causing them to sink in somewhat.
A friend of Denny’s custom made him a cane that straps onto his wrist and gives a better handle for support than a traditional cane.
Denny shows off his new walker while talking about how he’s going to trick it out with some flame decals and such.

This photo shows the laceration on the back of his head, suffered during a mishap in the house where he lost the strength in his leg momentarily.
