No 24.Seeing the funny side and having fun

It is possible to see the funny side in the most unfunny of situations and Chris and I do laugh together when say he can`t get his words out for example. Last night I asked him if he could tell if his MND was progressing and he said yes as he was finding it harder to keep his balance. If he was sweeping up the yard with a broom, he said he was fine until he picked the broom up off the floor and then he would nearly fall over. The way he said it and the vision of him using a broom without it never leaving contact with floor, just had us in stitches. Some might think it a little weird to laugh at what MND is doing to him and I know one day things won`t be so funny, but for now, laughing at it when we can is good.

We are actually going out tonight too, a very rare occurrence for us at the best of times. We are going to see the stage version of `All creatures great and small ` at the Hall for Cornwall. Chris always loved the TV series and books and it will be a time for us to forget about this awful disease for a little while and spend some real quality time together while we can. We win today MND.
