Good morning friends. On Tuesday my wife and I got the diagnosis we were expecting but still did not want to hear, I was officially diagnosed with ALS by my neurologist. He is referring me to the ALS clinic at George Washington U in downtown Washington, DC. Working on getting my appt scheduled with them. While expected it was still a shock. As scary as it is I will get through this with the love and support of my family along with all of my new friends here.
On to the ironic part. For years I played in a coworkers charity golf tournament for, you guessed it, ALS. My coworkers brother has been fighting this for 11 years now. Ironically that tournament is today. I obviously won't be playing but will be there to talk to her brother and family and show support. This obviously takes on much more meaning to me now then before. Anyway, just thought I'd share that.
All the best,
Kenny
