Page views: 700 It doesn't help. My eye control is more and more important for survival. Once again I couldn't make myself noticed this morning because the mask slipped out of place and tightened. It's really rarely stupid. I'm lying there, listening to my carer in the kitchen, in the dining room watching the documentary, at the coffee machine. Whilst I've been lying there for 15...
Page views: 675 My typical position for the day. With my head on my right side, I can breathe best and feel comfortable. It is also the only position in which I can at least talk a little. Ideally, I am positioned with two blankets on the left and right under my bum (see below). The thin 40×80 pillow goes under...
Page views: 766 If I could... I would do everything myself. But I can't. Obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't be where we are right now. You wouldn't spend your time reading my confused texts. ? It's all the more important that I put you in a position to get my eye control working again when the system -...
Page views: 756 I have a relatively large number of household appliances networked in my home. Many of them can be controlled by voice via Alexa. I've summarised the most important commands here. The heating regulates itself automatically. The room temperature is set for each room and is always kept constant. If you open a window or door, the radiators switch off automatically....
Page views: 638 How to position me for optimum operation of the eye control: I am lying in the most relaxed position for me, on my back, neck 100% straight and only turned to the right (not bent downwards, which only happens when watching TV and lying on my side!) The bed is slightly raised. I also raised my legs most of the time. The...
Page views: 635 Aligning the Surface is actually quite simple. In the status monitor, the eyes must be in the centre with a slight downward tendency. On the right-hand bar, the triangle must be in the upper, just green area. Important: The stand and the holder are never adjusted to position the Surface Tablet. And the infrared camera is perfectly aligned. Please do not...
Page views: 775 Dear diary, I'm not allowed to. Somehow the universe seems to have something against the plagued ALS patient getting a good night's sleep. The night was good. Well, let's say it was okay. Once again, I didn't get to bed until 2.30am. I don't know why this happens to me so often. It runs in the family...
Pageviews: 1,125 As well prepared as we may be, no matter how much time we spend together, there will always be situations where you don't have a clue what I need. When I sleep, for example, I wear the nose-mouth mask. Under this, it is physically impossible to generate positive pressure when exhaling without using your own muscle power. I can therefore use this...
Page views: 1,398 Jesus Christ. I'm not so grateful for any other IT product that exists. But my gosh, this thing has cost me many a nerve. It's by far the best hardware and best software I know of in the PC eye control segment. But me and my expectations again. Such a huge fuck-up. I would...
