Hi .Dave.
Thanks for your detailed comment! Geez, 1983 doesn't feel that long ago but your A-levels must mean you were just a youngin' when my Nick came along, 23 1/2 years ago. He's the one who spoke of having his kids running around the house come Thanksgiving. So far, I just have 3 grandcats. I'm not a bonafide granny yet. Even when I am, I don't plan on getting to know my little ones with a bun on my head. I may always have to hold them sitting down but I got to practice when my best friend, 51, had her 4th little boy this summer.

Hi Whacky
Thanks for dropping by. you know, for our mums, a patch can be a marvelous thing because unfortunately we usually have memory issues as we age and forget to take medication. This way the dose is supposed to be absorbed is done so with regularity through the skin. Now if they develop a patch for sensitive skinned people like me, we'd be all set!

Cheers Cee. It's only by reading something as honest and detailed as this
that you really get to find out what it's really like. I love the way you call it Ol' Man Parky and treat it as your friend despite its debilitating effects. Loved that old pic too. I never thought 1983 would be so long ago, if you know what I mean. I was doing my A Levels then.

They are coming out with patches for everything now!
My mom had a "pain" patch that lasted three days!

SuccessWarrior-
I hear that and wonder what "brave" really encapsulates? But I thank you. I don't know if it's not being scared, because I do have a few moments now and then that are eye-openers. But what choice have I got? This is my journey and at least my fingers are working still! I give thanks for any blessing, even one we take for granted. And I hope I'm not TOO demented!! Thanks so much for coming by!

Parkinson's forced me to retire (voluntarily) from my teaching job of 21 years so it really does my heart good to hear or read what you just expressed. I was born to educate and I hope by sharing my life with Parkinson's, it will put a face on this awful disease and teach others mostly about its effects on daily living. Thank you for coming by!

I wish you well
Just read your blog. I've only read about Parkinson's disease. But now, you've given face to it. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
