A bit of a sad, reflective post today. But that is what this podcast and my blog have been created for. Not just for the happy times, but also the bare reality of being a person with Parkinson’s and other health issues. It is also my acknowledgement, that it is not just me that is affected, it also profoundly affects my husband. He is my rock and my life and I wouldn’t want to be without him.
There is a sense of imbalance for me. A helplessness at least in part. I can’t lift anything over 2kg. I can’t bend over very much. I can’t lift a pot to cook, can’t vacuum…. the list goes on forever.
This is not how we are and who we are. I hate this enforced dependence. It is just not a good fit for either of us. I hope that it soon ends, and we can both reclaim the lives that we want while still being a strong and supportive unit as we always have been.
So, I’ve done a bit of a podcast about this. I get the wobbles a bit in my voice, but I figure that’s OK. It’s an emotional topic.

I have done this as a link above as it wasn’t working embedding the post.
Thank you for listening or reading my blog and for your support.
