Gotta wonder about God's sense of humor

I was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago and my poor husband has been such an angel in dealing with all the nonsense that comes with it. Wednesday, he was diagnosed with ALS. Seriously??? So, now we are making plans for pimped out wheelchairs. Mine will be the TARDIS, his will be a Mini Cooper. Our families think we're crazy! Might as well have fun with it...

You just have to have a sense of humor these days. Sometimes it's what gets me through the day. I would love to see those wheelchairs.

cindyrn68 , I am so sorry that you both have to handle so much. I pray you keep that wonderful sense of humor with you both and continue to love and support one another as you already have.

Oh my... What a load. What a wonderful thing that you can laugh instead of cry (although I'm sure there are tears.)

Sorry to hear your husband has ALS. Thankfully you have a great attitude to cope with your symptoms as they complicate your life. I hope you never lose your positive outlook. Wishing you both a good week. 🤗

Yes, my formula,when coping with the ever present new norms that MS gives us, is to get through the grieving process from anger to acceptance, as fast as you can.

Then"don't ask Why me - ask What now". Keep doing the things that make you happy. There's a pony in the minasu somewhere. Sounds like you have found one! Yeah you!!!

I am so sorry to hear of your husband's diagnosis, but am encouraged by the way you choose to handle this hurdle. If we can't face our challenges with humor, those challenges become insurmountable, in my opinion. Can't way to see pics of your wheelchairs. Is your Tardis bigger on the inside?

I will make sure it's bigger on the inside and has a special key. Already have a sonic screwdriver. My companions will be three cats. :)

So sorry about both your health challenges but glad you can still have a sense of humor. My motto is that I laugh to keep from crying. Praying that you both continue to keep this great attitude thru it all.

I am saddened to hear of your very challenging situation. Trust that you will have a very strong support network of loving people.

I'm very lucky with my support system. I am one of 8 children - 7 girls, 1 boy. Five of us are nurses and one of my daughters is a nurse. We have no shortage of bossy advocates in our family! :)

@cindyrn68 At least you can sympathize with each other. Keep that since of humor. It will get you the tough times ahead.

cindyrn68 , I've been absent the past few days, so I'm late reading this. You're a true inspiration...may God supply what you and your husband need to get through the coming hard times, but continue to fill you with joy and laughter as you journey through this together on your pumped-out wheelchairs. Praying for you both. We're always here for you. 💕
