          My best friend Priscilla is so wonderful. She has been putting all of my photos on a CD for me so that I have them on my computer. I know it is taking her hours and hours to do it and I really appreciate it. She has a scanner. And she got me the most amazing gift.  It is a two sided ornament type photo of Amy when she was little.



SWEET AMY

     
 Amy was such a beautiful baby and person inside and outside. I always thought I was going to have all boys so when the doctor said...."it's a girl," Dan and I were totally shocked and thrilled!  We had told Joe that he was going to have a brother named Kevin! He kept asking us where Kevin was even though we told him that he had a baby sister.
         This morning it took me over two hours to dye my gray roots!  I am slow with everything due to PD!  My sciatica was screaming at me in the shower because I had to really get the dye out!  I did a crappy job and I think I need to dye the roots again!  PD just makes everything in my life go so so so slow!  I tried to clean the bathroom after I showered but I was worn out from the hair dye job!
        Dan and I went out and looked at a few properties today!  I really want to build a new ranch house but it is difficult to find land.  Ranch houses are few and far between these days.  In our area, the only new construction is for Carriage homes(townhouses) or large houses. I just want about half an acre and a three bedroom ranch house with a big kitchen and family room! The steps keep getting more and more difficult for me to climb at night.  I will have to keep looking because all of the places I had found on the internet were too far away. I don't want to move far from my sister, my friends, my doctors, and my groups I am involved with!
        Thank you to everyone who is reading my introduction to my novel!

Akinetic-rigid Parkinson's Disease

Image
       My Parkinson's symptoms seem to be different almost everyday. Some days I am dog tired and other days I seem to have some energy.  It is difficult to make plans too far in advance because I never know what my Parkinson's will be like on any given day.  My worst Parkinson's symptoms are being off balance and overwhelmingly sleepy!!  I don't know if it is a Parkinson's symptom or  not but I now have such vivid and bizarre dreams! Perhaps it is the liquid medical marijuana that I take at night to help me sleep!! My sciatica,  however, seems to stay the same. It is just pain all of the time unless I take Tylenol or a muscle relaxer. I have spoken to several people who have Parkinson's and many also have sciatica. I asked the doc this morning and he said there is no corelation.   Today I saw a new neurologist at a city hospital.  He diagnosed me with Akinetic-rigid Parkinson's.  He told me that there are two different types of Parkinson's diseas

Does My Family Really Understand My PD LIMITATIONS??

Image
        I was diagnosed with PD about a year and a half ago but I think I had it for close to a year before that. Once I got on the Carbidopa Leodopa, my life settled back into a "new normal" routine.   My painful Sciatica has always bothered me more than the PD. I don't have tremors, at least not yet. I think that is because I am in the early stages. I have a handicap license plate so I don't have to park as far away from an entrance as I use to have to park.  My husband is always willing to drop me off at the entrance if I don't want to walk as far.  But I try to do the walk so that I stay agile and my muscles don't freeze up too much.   My most noticeable trait is my slow, and shuffling gait.  I can still drive, totally take care of all of my personal needs, go out socially, travel, cook, etc.  I am scared when I have to go up a flight of stairs because I am off balance and I feel like I might fall backwards. I have a death grip on the handrail!  I am not a

June 2

Image
                June 2 is a very special day in our family.  It was the day that my beloved daughter Amy was born. I was so excited to have a beautiful little girl.  She was my most precious gift and that feeling has never changed.   Amy died at age 18.  After her death, life had no meaning for  us.  We just wen through the motions of living and existing because we still had to finish raising Renee, who was only 13 when Amy died. Dan had told me that friends of his, also bereaved parents, had adopted a little boy from Ukraine. I thought they were absolutely crazy.  Fast forward a few years and that tiny seed grew in my mind. Maybe it was Divine Intervention, I don't know,  but we decided to adopt from Ukraine.  I am so thankful to Ukraine for giving me two of their most precious gifts.  We must have been twice as crazy as his friends because we adopted not once, but TWICE!! We adopted Olivia in March of 2007.  There is so much paperwork to adopt and we had to make several trips
