A little about me.

My names Chris and I have ALS\MND and this is the first time I have ever done anything like this.

I was diagnosed 10th October 2016. At the time of writing this. That was only 3 months ago. I am married to my wife Alison. To say that she is my rock, my soul mate my wing man is an understatement. As I progress with this disease she will no doubt be my carer. Not something I ever envisaged or wanted.  But I want to say this; Every fibre, every cell, wants to stay with my Wife for as long as I can. Even when I cant talk, cant walk and ALS has taken everything from me. I want to stay alive to be with her. And thats my job now. To live.

So this blog is not about pity or sorrow or anything like that. Its about survival and hope as I am a survivor. I come from a long line of tough survivors so thats what I intend to do. Some of the things I will be saying wont be very nice. Hard truth's are not nice things to impart. But it is what it is. And sugar coating things is not me. And I am too old and bad to change.

So why Warrior? Warrior's are fighters. And I am fighting ALS. So it seems a good title.

So who am I? I am just a normal run of the mill guy. I have done nothing special. I am no one special. And I have done nothing special with my life. Apart meet my wife that is. And for some reason, I have had to fight all my life. I always thought that everyone was the same. But I have found out that is not the case. But that doesnt matter now. I am at my best when I have a good fight ahead of me. It brings me alive. And this time? I am fighting for my very life.

I hope to post regularly. When something happens, I will try and write about it. I hope to impart knowledge. To help others on this journey. And above all remain positive. Nothing bitter and twisted and woe is me from me.

Onwards and downwards..........
