Day by Day with Parkinson's and Peripheral Neuropathy

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Peripheral Neuropathy in 2006, but my symptoms seemed to take a turn in a different direction in late 2007. The current diagnosis is Essential Myoclonus. You will find record here of a my journey - coping with the testing, the medicines, nutrition, digestion problems, exercise, the emotions, and no telling what else!

Another Sunday with the Walker

I wasn't nearly as tired after church today, and I know it's because I'm using the walker. The distance from the car to my Sunday School classroom, and then to the sanctuary and back to the car is a pretty tiring distance, and there's no doubt that the walker helps a lot.

Everybody's being really nice, but the walker is calling attention to me, which is what I was not wanting. It was the main reason I resisted using it to begin with. But, they mean well. About all I can tell them is that my doctor has ruled out brain tumor, and that's a good thing!! And, that I'm not in pain any longer ... that's a good thing, too!! I thank them for their prayers, only to be stopped by someone else a little farther along the sidewalk, and the whole conversation gets repeated, almost word for word.

Our younger DD is coming today for an overnight visit, at my request, and I'm so looking forward to that. She usually brings the grandkids, and I asked her, if she could, to come sometime by herself, so we could really visit. I hardly ever get to see her, and I really miss her. Neither one of us are big talkers, so I'm not sure what we'll do, but if we don't do anything but sit and hug, that's fine with me.
