Free PD Medical Alert Bracelet and Michael J Fox Foundation Webinar

One of my blog readers named Kristen informed me that the Parkinson's Foundation will give a FREE Parkinson's safety kit to anyone with Parkinson's Disease.  You can order online or call a toll free number. The kit includes many useful items including a free medical alert bracelet!! I just love when we all can share information and ideas. Sometimes I wonder if my blog helps anyone else but I know it helps me to connect with others. I had decided to only post my blog on my own Facebook page and People With Parkinson's Facebook Page but so many people messaged me and told me that they really enjoyed reading my blog and that my links didn't work for them!  Sorry about that, I am NOT the most computer literate person by any means whatsoever! But I will continue to post on some Facebook pages because I am so glad that people enjoy reading my blog!  So thank you to everyone who is sharing information because it is so helpful to me and to others!!  There is also a helpline that is open from Mon-FRi staffed by nurses , therapists and social workers! 1-800-4PD-INFO   Our HELPLINE: 1-80-INFO (473-4636)

My eye is still healing from my retina surgery on Friday so this is a short blog post. Parkinson's Disease has connected me to so many wonderful people but I wish we never had cause to meet for that reason!   

My friend Hans sent me this info about the Michael J. Fox Foundation and free Webinars so I wanted
 to share with all the PD people who might want to sign into it!  Hans is a great person who willingly shares information with others!

Stiff Neck

Image
        Today I woke up with a stuff neck! It is so painful that I forgot about my sciatica for a while. I took two Tylenol every few hours and maybe that is why my sciatica didn't bother me as much as it usually does.  I could feel the pain in my neck every time I moved! I didn't realize how much I move my head all day long until it was painful to do so. I got up at 7:30 because I had workers coming to clean my kitchen floor. I just can't do it any more!  They didn't get to my house until 9:30 because they are also working on my driveway and had to get filler and blacktop stuff!   I cleaned the kitchen while I waited for them. Tomorrow I just have to clean the family room and run my Roomba! My Parkinson's was definitely front and center, even with my stiff neck. I kept freezing in one spot and my  balance was way off!. It is really annoying to be cleaning a toilet and feeling  like you are going to fall into the bowl!! Yesterday I chatt...

Beautiful Day at the Cemetery Visiting our daughter Amy

Image
         Today was an absolutely beautiful day, it was probably in the high seventies. When it's a nice day, we always take our folding chairs and sit at the cemetery for awhile. I had my book with me and Dan took the newspaper. On the front page was a sad story about two young women who used Heroin.  One young woman purchased the heroin and the other young woman died from an overdose.  The purchaser and her 17 year old sister left the young woman, an only child, in a bathroom in a fast food place when they couldn't revive her with water, etc. That young woman was found after they left and taken to a hospital where she died. Now,  the young woman who purchased the heroin  was sentenced to twenty something years in prison. Her 17 year old  sister testified against her and was set free after the trial  I think that is a rather severe sentence but a bright and beautiful young woman is dead forever.         ...

WARNING ABOUT GABAPENTIN AND PREGABALIN

Image
Yesterday we went to see The Christmas Miracle at a sight and sound theater! It was amazing and we all had a nice time. Olya and her boyfriend Matt came with us, they met  us there because Olya went home with Matt on Friday.  Olivia and her "friend" Anthony also met us there.  I think they all had a nice time at the show.  We went to eat at the Waffle House after the performance! Yesterday was NOT a bad day for me with PD, but it was really bad with Sciatica.  I think my Sciatica is worse when it is cold! And it was really cold here yesterday!  I have been wearing my scarf and my gloves in the house, I have no idea whether it is PD related or not. I have a gas insert fireplace and I run it constantly so my house is usually warm, not sure why I am so so cold.          Today we went with my sister and her three adult children to see the play Buddy the Elf! It was really cute, it sort of really gets us ...
