Via Scoop.it – ALS Lou Gehrig’s Disease
The Senate chamber, typically a place filled with the buzz of dozens of conversations, was totally quiet Tuesday afternoon. Sen. Gary Kubly, DFL-Granite Falls, was speaking, and the other 66 senators were trying hard to understand the words he was saying. There were sounds filled with passion coming from Kubly’s lips, but the words were unintelligible. Kubly was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) 18 months ago. The awful progress of the disease was painfully obvious for all to see and hear. Only a few months ago, Kubly was much easier to understand, and he could move around with the aid of a walker.
