I’ve decided to keep writing a little about my day each day. I’m changing it to “Day (insert number here)… Fighting Parkinson’s”. It will be a very short journal of sorts. A snippet into my life and help me by thinking somebody actually reads this shit 🤣🙄 I’ll try to keep it positive but realize life can be lemons so there will be some bad news from time to time. As I said though, I’ll try to keep it positive and light hearted yet informative.
I couldn’t sleep last night due to who knows what. Worked on a tribute piece for a friend I’ll post soon and a couple other new designs. So hence this later post here today… didn’t get to bed until 4am so woke up at 9am. Got a little sleep so grateful for that!
Woke up felt like I had a million pounds on my chest. That was fun. Uggg. Got a little confused while making coffee this morning. Not the first time, not the first task I got confused on and won’t be the last. BUT… we got through it and here I sit with my coffee still writing to you.
Dart must have been feeling good as he wanted to go on a walk. Dart is my little “old man” that keeps my company and loves my daily. He’s getting old and not doing as well but still kick’n it purty darn good most days. I worry about loosing him. BUT… the walk was awesome. Again we don’t go far in, just a few houses down and back in case I have a medical event. The exercise felt good.
I then sat down and signed up for what felt like a million *insert Dr Evil pic here* Parkinson’s Facebook groups. I’ll start looking through them this week see if I can find further help.
I’m going to leave them anonymous but someone from back home I went to school with offered to help me navigate what they can. One of the very few, maybe 4 or 5 that have offered assistance like that. Don’t get me wrong, the financial and verbal support is so fantastic there are no words… It’s a LOT for someone to offer and take on so I never expect that from friends. AND AGAIN thank you for all the financial and verbal support, you folks are why I’ve even made it this far! You all have lives and problems too and I respect that. The positive is they’ve not only made my stress levels decrease, it feels like I’m starting to find a path again and that’s awesome (kind of in tears). To that person I will treasure you until the day I’m no longer here. Which will hopefully be a long time from now!
So with that I’ll leave this a semi long one. Feeling a bit better. Going to work on some art today. Also going at attack the uphill battle to find a good disability lawyer…
Much love all. Stay tuned for tomorrows new segment Day 9… Fighting Parkinson’s.
