Check this out...I can't explain it.
I was diagnosed with ALS May 1st, which just happens to be ALS awareness month. My birthday is also in May. I start searching the internet for info on the disease, and I come across this wonderful website. O.k., not so odd. Then this started. My wife takes a back road home from work last Friday, and gets stuck in a huge traffic jam, which she never came across on this road before. It turned out to be an ALS walk to raise awareness for this disease. Next, I happen to work in a retail drugstore, and I was putting out the morning newspapers. The FIRST paper I open up was last Sunday's N.Y. Times, which featured a 4 page story on one man's struggle to get new medication to fight ALS ! This was starting to get very weird. Then, to take the cake, I was inputing some data into my office computer, when I accidently hit the wrong function keys ( not any letter keys ). When I looked up at the screen, it read ...right after my name..." A L S " . And to top it off, the computer screen froze on this, and did not unfreeze for about 5 minutes ! I tried hitting all kinds of things on the keyboard to recreate it, but I could not do it ! I am not making any of this up...and I can't explain any of it. I don't believe in the supernatural, or anything along those lines, but something is hitting me in the face with my new diagnosis !
