We do try to be funny, joke around, be in the moment and to find laughter where we can get it. We also change things up, so it doesn't get repetitive especially in physical therapy. Used it in hubby's chemo treatments from his colon cancer. Once we both had our big cry and head shaved, we decided we are going to conquer this come hell or high water. It worked. Cancer free since 2012.
