Lunch with Peter -A fellow Parkie

July 18, 2017 By: PerkyParkie1 Comment

I am super-stoked to share with you a new project that I have had the honor to be involved with.  I am now a official contributor for Health Union’s newly launched website parkinsonsdisease.net. This site has become a great addition to the Parkinson’s community because you can find information about research, diagnosis, treatment, caregiver support, symptoms… basically […]

That Just Happened

July 14, 2017 By: PerkyParkie7 Comments

I’m not Ms. Perky Parkie all the time. I do have times when I am just a regular girl doing regular things.  Just like when I was driving home from work yesterday. I pull into my apartment (or should I say my loft) and drive the road I am quite familiar with, but today it […]

10 Things I Love About Turning 40

June 26, 2017 By: PerkyParkie17 Comments

Yes, it is true. Today is my birthday and I am turning 40… woot woot! I know what you’re thinking, “I can’t believe she is going to be 40. Her skin is flawless. She is freakishly smart, witty, fashionable, flat-out adorable, courageous and her hair always looks like she just walked out of a salon.” […]

Anticipating My Needs

June 5, 2017 By: PerkyParkie26 Comments

I love my apartment. It’s charming, but still functional. It’s quaint, but practical. I’ve clocked many DIY hours making my home into the perfect space that I could feel safe and comfortable in. I would find a problem area, such as having difficulty applying my makeup while standing in the bathroom. Then I would figure […]

A Teddy Bear Who Needed A Chance

May 24, 2017 By: PerkyParkie12 Comments

I have always been drawn to things that were injured or had a disadvantage.  I will be the first one to pick out the runt in the litter.  If it is missing a limb or an eye, it was going home with me.  I even stole a sick guinea pig from a pet store minutes […]

My Mommy Has Barkinson’s Disease

May 11, 2017 By: PerkyParkie31 Comments

Hi, I’m Crash, woof! I am Perky Parkie’s super cool dog child and I’ve hijacked her blog today. So grab your biscuits and enjoy the story of my mommy who has Barkinson’s disease. I am not sure exactly what Barkinson’s disease is, but I can tell you what we do most days. My mommy can […]

On This Day, I Almost Died

May 5, 2017 By: PerkyParkie19 Comments

May 5th, 2003 was the day I almost died. Each year that passes, I don’t dwell on the negativity or my fear. Instead, I look at all the wonderful experiences I’ve had and all the amazing people who I have in my life. In remembrance of that day, I have included a section from my […]

My Safe Bag

April 19, 2017 By: PerkyParkie13 Comments

I have noticed lately that my balance has been a bit wonky. I can’t walk down a flight of stairs without holding onto the rail and I must concentrate on every step I take or else I feel like I will fall.  As I stagger down, I pretend like no one notices me. I hope to […]

Letters From My Parents

March 22, 2017 By: PerkyParkie9 Comments

I was spring-cleaning last weekend, which is something that gives me immense pleasure. I know… I‘m bizarre. I start by organizing my home and disposing the things that I hold onto needlessly… and yes, that does mean the red dress that just doesn’t quite fit right, but I still believe that I can magically morph […]

Perky Parkie

I am a medical anomaly, advocate for people, freakishly smart, believer of unicorns, self-proclaimed addict of frozen yogurt, secretly a ninja, and personally planning the assassination of Barbie...Oh and I have Parkinson's disease. If I could describe myself in one sentence, I wouldn't be blogging!

Apathy. I Don’t Feel Like Writing A Definition.

Apathy.  This word meant nothing to me until I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease; just letters, no significant meaning.  When I look up apathy in my thesaurus, I see a list of synonyms, which share similar meaning.  A few examples are: -Unimportance-Insignificance-Meaninglessness-Irrelevance-Unconcern-Disinterest-Lack of sympathy-Lack of interest-Lack of motivation The best description I found was “emotional emptiness”…sounds […]
