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
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.” […]
Dear Ms. Parkinson’s
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 offical 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… […]
Anticipating My Needs
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
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
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 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
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
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 […]
A Letter PD on our 7th Anniversary
This Saturday is my 7-year anniversary of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I wonder what Parkinson’s will give me to celebrate 7 years of having a committed relationship with it? Whoa… to think back to all the memorable moments that we have spent together… Priceless. I felt that the best way to celebrate our courtship […]
