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 […]
Top Blog Posts of 2018
We did it! We made it to the new year! I tell ya… it was touch and go there for a bit. As much as I want to close the book on 2018 and never look back, I think it is only proper to give this last year the ultimate send off. I have comprised […]
The Snowball Effect
I bet many of you are wondering how I am doing now and what really happened when I first went into surgery on September 6th, 2018. It wasn’t one thing that caused so many complications. It was a small snowball that started rolling downhill and when it gained momentum, became a huge disaster. If you need a […]
DIY Parkinson’s Holiday Gifts 2018
While I’m still recovering from my health complications, I thought I would update my “Do-it-yourself” holiday gift blog.

How do you take your Schnitzel?
My mom was on her daughter duty for the second time… bless her heart. It was difficult not to feel like a burden. My last post, “Just when I was thinking things were looking up” detailed how I was at home with my health care team overseeing my physical needs and trying to keep me […]
Just When I Was Thinking Things Were Looking Up…
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 […]
Where do I begin?
I guess the best way to do this is to start typing. I am sorry for my unexplained absence from life itself. My surgery was on September 6th. Although I admit that I didn’t know what condition my body would be in until I woke up from anesthesia, nothing prepared me for the challenges that […]
Preparing For The Hospital
If you know anything about me, you would know that I am a professional patient. I have a Ph.D. in living with unlucky health. I use the term “unlucky” because as history has shown if there is a possibility of complications, I will get it. This is why I don’t swim in the ocean. Seriously… Yes, I do […]
