Anything goes – A poem and Episode 41 – Podcast

Just a change of pace from the serious stuff of late, so I was moved to write a new poem. I am reading it in the podcast for those of you who enjoy hearing them read, but for those who would rather hear it with their own voice, I have shared the words below: I’llContinue reading “Anything goes – A poem and Episode 41 – Podcast”

More legal stuff – Property Administrator vs Property Manager – What’s the difference – Podcast

I have been fortunate to be able to have another interview with Louise Taylor, Lawyer to talk about another aspect of law protecting those who are vulnerable. She is a very engaging person who has a wealth of knowledge and experience and imparts it with humour and down to earth examples to illustrate points.

When EPOA – Enduring Power of Attorney goes wrong – Podcast

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Louise Taylor, a well respected lawyer and friend about what happens when EPOA goes wrong. She is great to listen to and has a very engaging style while giving essential information about this important subject. It’s well worth a listen.

Be a legend in your own lunchtime! – Podcast

This was a saying in my family growing up. Sounds far less pretentious than aiming to be a lifetime legend. I have started interviewing some professional people for my podcast and they have valuable information to provide on ‘legal things’ like Wills and Enduring Powr of Attorney or Age Concern services and Elder abuse –Continue reading “Be a legend in your own lunchtime! – Podcast”

Anyone happy to be interviewed for my new podcast?

Hi, this is especially for those of my followers who have been with me on my journey with this blog and we have shared a lot together. That doesn’t preclude any new people.

I have a surgery date and some learnings

Finally, I have a date for my surgery. It will be on 3/2 with a pre-op appointment prior next week. That is 11 days to my surgery and counting. I know there will be a six to eight week recovery period, but I have always coped better with recovery pain than pain prior to anContinue reading “I have a surgery date and some learnings”

I’m a hugger, is this a Parkies thing?

I have always been a hugger for those I am close to, like my husband, my children and my grandchildren. I may have become even more so with the advent of Parkinson’s in my life. I wonder if those of you listening to this podcast have noticed an increased tendency to hug? I hope youContinue reading “I’m a hugger, is this a Parkies thing?”

I love my husband – A poem not about Parkinson’s

Just because life is not all about Parkinson’s, I like to write and share the odd poem and this is an odd poem! I hope you like it.

A world of pain and uncertainty

How does anyone ‘do life’ if there is an almost total lack of certainty? Add to that a healthy dose of pain and – it seems – as I said to someone this morning ‘every pain medication known to mankind’ life feels a bit tough at the moment. That’s the understatement of the year, that’sContinue reading “A world of pain and uncertainty”

A hidden issue – how can I be seen?

I’ve written before in this blog about hidden disabilities and how challenging it can be to not only live with them, but for others to understand. I often use the analogy of a person in a wheelchair at the bottom of some steps. No reasonable person would expect them to be able to get upContinue reading “A hidden issue – how can I be seen?”
