Living Through Parkinson’s

Current medical appointments. Cooking, pickles, and culinary thoughts. #parkinsons #health #wellness

Stories about the encouragement of a friend as I travel with Parkinson’s. The meaning of being still and being quiet for my every day life.

Getting caught up. Taking stock of the small things in life. Remembering what is truly important.

The continuing saga of living with Parkinson’s. This episode includes the latest medical issues of eyesight, what you see, and what you don’t see. Just another day in my life.

Sitting on the front porch and listening to the sounds of the morning. Trash day. The sounds and noise of the garbage truck. Enjoying today. #pd #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #livingthroughparkinsons #storytelling

The progression of Parkinson’s disease continues on. The next obstacle to work with, swallowing food. And then shopping, especially when you live an hour or more away from decent shopping. Reward. #pd #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #livingthroughparkinsons #storytelling

A story about a sugar maple tree in my backyard. I had to make a decision about the tree, and this tells that story. It’s also a story about living with Parkinson’s disease. Comparing tree to the body, Parkinson’s and movement concerns, and the act of selling a tree. #pd #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #livingthroughparkinsons #storytelling

Memorial day ceremony at the local cemetery. Meeting, new friends and catching up with old ones. Backyard barbecue shared with neighbors. And the new directions for the podcast. #pd #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #livingthroughparkinsons

Home improvement and Parkinson’s, improving in spite of the disease. Thoughts about the Michael J Fox documentary, “Still.” #pd #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #livingthroughparkinsons

A new symptom has introduced itself into my life. Requiring, of course, a new doctor to deal with this issue. Taking a tree out of the yard, and thinking about new things.
