I am going into surgery tomorrow to have my Deep Brain Stimulator batteries replaced. It’s time to get a fresh set put in. So while I am recovering, I thought I would repost this blog… enjoy! Now readers, before I get started, I want to remind you that my blog is strictly for entertainment purposes […]
7 Things Healthy Parkies Do
Is it possible to be a healthy Parkie? Well, I have seen that some people with Parkinson’s do not always do what is in their best interest. They don’t take the steps to slow the progression of their illness. In many cases, they just feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin. Hopefully, this list […]
Parkinson’s isn’t a one-person disease
My mom and dad have decided to purchase a new house. This is a very exciting time for them. They get to pick out the colors of the wall, the stucco on the house and what plot of land they want to build on. Anyone would have trouble refraining from jumping up and down like a kid on […]

Back to the hospital When I first arrived at the hospital emergency room, I was having severe chest pain, which was so painful that I thought that something must be wrong with my lungs or heart. I didn’t know if this was due to my symptoms that I described in my blog post, “Advanced Parkinson’s […]
Advanced Parkinson’s Overnight
My Dad was staying with me while I recovered from my surgery I describe in the post “Preparing for the hospital.” It was my first day home and I was looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. My legs were little wobbly but I thought it was just the medication I received in the […]
