Liz,

Many congratulations for the wedding to come. Being there for each other, at all times, is what it is all about and you have that in buckets from what I can tell.

Chris,

Very sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with MND, it was one of the several things my grandmother had for quite a few years and she lasted until the ripe old age of 86. I am sure it puts a lot of things into perspective. You seem to have a positive attitude about the whole thing which I am sure puts you in a good position for the future.

Congratulations though!!

Paul

Life for me is now to be lived to the full and I'll keep diving and teaching as long as possible.

Fu*k me Chris, I'm so sorry, Pmd you.

Chris, old boy!

What terrible news. I can't think of a stronger person to deal with it than you, especially with the luverly Liz to back you up. You have my best wishes and full support (whatever practical use that is?).

One of my college lecturers had this, and kept defying the docs who said he should be in a wheelchair - he carried on with a full time career as a vet, and a physical job, and had done so for many years before i even got into uni. He was a real inspiration and an amazingly strong character.

One thing i would say is continue to do as much as you can for as long as you can, and don't just tamely give up when they tell you to - Prof used to amaze me by what he could do!

Sorry to hear your news.....although whatever we say at a time like this is inadequate. There are plenty of self-help organisations out there for people with MND and their friends and family - it might be worth trying one of them should you or your nearest and dearest need some support.
Best wishes for the future
