https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024…Lessons on living from Patrick O’Brien
“As I See It,” a weekly photo column by Pulitzer Prize winner Stan Grossfeld, brings the stories of New England to Globe readers. This week Grossfeld visits with ALS survivor Patrick O’Brien.Patrick O’Brien, 49, is trapped in a body ravaged by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and hooked up to a ventilator. Doctors gave him two to five years to live. That was 18½ years ago.
Everybody can learn something from O’Brien. “Being paralyzed is a lot like you might think. ... But it has hidden joys and immaculate highs,” he wrote earlier. “There’s a bright side to ALS. I know that sounds twisted, but in a lot of ways ALS saved my life. Having a fatal disease turns the odometer of the soul back to zero.”
