I have been dealing with non-related Parkie health issues, which have consumed my time and my energy. So, for this week, I thought I would let you enjoy one of my older posts about a trip to the mall while I rest and recover. Enjoy! One of the most frustrating things I have run into […]
5 Types Of Parkies
Seeing as April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, I thought it would be fun to see what type of Parkie you are. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 11 years ago… Geez. I guess it’s true what they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun”. I have no idea who “they” are, but “they” seem […]
I Get To Exercise Today
I wake to the sound of my alarm at 6:45 am. The distinct sound of rain confuses me as I open my eyes and strain to see through the blurriness that is all around me. I see my dog Crash stretching and yawning at the edge of my bed. In the middle of the night, […]
I Hear Voices
Sometimes, I find myself looking at posts that I had written years ago and it helps me remember that I need to be kind to myself and patient with the progression of my Parkinson’s. This post titled “I hear voices” helped me see that my anxiety about having a Neurological condition and how I navigate […]
What Parkies Shouldn’t Do On Halloween
Even though the pandemic has implemented guidelines, there are still ways to celebrate Halloween, so I thought it would be appropriate to post my holiday blog. Enjoy… even if it’s 6 feet apart. I see ghosts, ghouls, witches, vampires, and zombies everywhere. But I am not taking a dopamine agonist, so how am I seeing these […]
Parkinson’s Urban Dictionary
It’s been a few years since I posted the Parkinson’s Urban Dictionary, so I thought we should add some more words that we’ve learned. Here goes… It seems like in this day and age, people have created their own language. Yes, I may type in English but don’t act like you don’t know what I […]
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 […]
What if I was a Superheroine?
With all the evil in the world trying to bring us down, we need a hero. Not many people are willing to put their life out on the line, but I am. I will pull up that spandex leotard, slap on those boots and let’s not forget the cape… that’s where the magic happens. As […]
Not Why Me?… But Try Me!
Has the reality of Parkinson’s disease got you feeling down? From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel the grasp of Parkinson’s pressing down on. Every limb feels heavy and stiff. You struggle to roll over in your bed as you glance at the clock. It seems like time continues […]
A New Year’s Promise
2019. Another year for the books! I have been busy working on some exciting things for the Parkinson’s community, that I can’t wait to share with you all…. and yes, it does include unicorns eating frozen yogurt. But that has left me little time to blog the last couple of weeks. So please enjoy my […]
