I felt that maybe instead of doing my regular blog post, that I would add to my growing Christmas collection because hey, life has been a bit wonky lately. With California going back into stay-at-home restrictions due to COVID, I thought we would all benefit from a smile and little dab of holiday cheer. Merry Christmas and stay safe!

Oh, how I needed this laugh! Thanks! Have a blessed Christmas!
Joe, Happy to hear it gave you a laugh! Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas! 40th birthday coming up… my 40’s will be better than my 30’s…..30’s started PD symptoms, then diagnosis, then DBS last year and DBS revision this year. The only good thing about my 30’s was the blessing of my daughter in 2016 and she’s the strength that keeps me going some days…and to hear her say bedtime prayers and pray for her mommy to feel better each day and God you can do it! It’s amazing! Wishing all of the PD community a safe, and happy New Year!!!!
Shannan,
It’s great to hear that you’re doing well! Cheers to a happy and safe New Year!
What is a DBS Revision? I had very successful DBS surgery in 2016.
Another great Perky post! Merry Christmas, Perky .:)
Thank you, John! Merry Christmas to you too!
