Fighting Parkinson’s, and where it all began, part 42

Seven years ago, I began doing the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery®. Of course, back then it did not have a name…it was just what I was doing. At the same time, I began keeping a hand-written Parkinson’s Daily Journal. It is time to share my journal with all of you. Here is my November 8, 2009 journal entry, seven years ago today.

“11/08/09. Slept in 6:35, slow. Sally and I are going to the movie Fourth Kind with Steven. It will be nice to get out of the house and see Steven up at the college. Movie was very good and very intellectual.”

That’s it. As you have seen before, when it was the weekend and I was doing family things, I simply did not think about the Parkinson’s much. During the week, I was home by myself and more consumed with what was going on with the Parkinson’s symptoms.

In the last couple of posts, I have discussed living life to the fullest. That really is the point here. I learned in my recovery that the more I could put Parkinson’s to the back of my mind in importance, the more opportunity I had to do the important things in life, like seeing family and friends.

You can do this too.

You are worth it!!!

All my best,

Howard

Please note: I will be posting one post per day through the middle of November. If you subscribe to receive email notifications when I post new blog posts and you would prefer to not receive those daily email notifications, simply send me an email at howard@fightingparkinsonsdrugfree.com, and let me know that you do not wish to receive a daily email with a link to each post. I will remove you from the list through the middle of November and add you back on the list after the middle of November. However, I still would recommend you checking the blog on a regular basis as it will contain very useful information for understanding my journey and helping with your journey.
