Parkinson’s and Me – Early Parkinson’s Journey: Insights, Faith, and Forward Motion

3.2 Evolving Expectations


Listen Later

We have a tendency to grow confident in our expectations as we grow older. Despite how hard we have prepared for the future, Parkinson's is similar to a bomb being dropped. It causes a titanic shift. When the smoke clears, we are left with a life that doesn't line up with our previous goals. Parkinson's doesn't discriminate based on gender or ethnicity. Parkinson's is patient and takes its time slowly picking away our lives. Left with shattered expectations, it is imperative to begin reassigning new goals. If we don't, then we are in jeopardy of being stuck in the past.

Joined by his brother, Daniel and Bryan discuss how important it is to add new experiences. Daniel outlines the methods that he is attempting to redefine expectations. Also, Daniel shares his succeesses and failures in an attempt to repurpose life.

Finally, Daniel talks with his son. They talk about what Parkinson's Disease looks like from a 13-year-old's point of view. Being a parent is difficult enough. However, with the additon of Parkinson's Disease, it adds to the complexity.

Add your experience and suggestions to the conversation in this Parkinson's podcast. If you would like to leave Daniel a voice message and you live in the U.S. call 1-706-873-1656. Email us at [email protected]
