I found this recommended on a Facebook Page I am a member of. The page itself is one you have to join as a member and it has contributors from both a caring perspective and also from that of a person with Parkinson’s. It is a very positive group and there is a lot ofContinue reading “Parkinson’s disease “What do successful people do to slow down PD progression?” Dr. Laurie Mischley”

Returning to work and sharing my story…
Well, the holiday is over and life is settling back into a normal pattern of working. Already it seems that the holiday is in the distant past and soon it will seem like ages since our big adventure. We have such happy memories though and it has been nice to settle back into work andContinue reading “Returning to work and sharing my story…”
Let’s talk about Parkinson’s… and life and all that means
I’m feeling in a very reflective mood right now. Not exactly sure why, but maybe that’s my brain getting itself ready for work tomorrow? It has been on light duties for the past nine weeks, so I hope it is up to stepping up several gears and doing some proper thinking and decision making! OneContinue reading “Let’s talk about Parkinson’s… and life and all that means”
Home is where the heart is…
Here we are back home again after our epic holiday. It has been an outstanding break away, spending time with my lovely husband one on one and also with friends and relatives we haven’t seen for six years. We woke up this morning for the first time in those nine weeks, in our own bedContinue reading “Home is where the heart is…”

Today is our last full day and night on our 9 week mega holiday. I have christened this holiday ‘The Last Hurrah Adventure Tour’. This is because in 5-6 years when we have saved up enough to return we will probably not be able to do a lot of the things we’ve been able toContinue reading “The ‘Last Hurrah Adventure Tour’ concludes….”
Unaware of uncoordination…. And other effects.
We have been walking around China Town looking at the various wares and checking out where to have dinner. Not long after getting to China Town I noticed that my body felt very heavy. My legs felt like they didn’t quite want to do what I wanted them to. I also started to feel lightheaded.Continue reading “Unaware of uncoordination…. And other effects.”
Adjusting meds in different time zones is a challenge!
We have now left the UK and have arrived in Singapore for a few days. Being in a different time zone, it makes it difficult to keep to my ‘morning, lunch and dinner routine. Leaving from the UK I took my lunchtime meds at lunch in London. We flew at about 9pm and had dinnerContinue reading “Adjusting meds in different time zones is a challenge!”
UK you’ve been much more than OK….
As we sit at the airport in London getting ready for our flight to Singapore, I reflect on our 9 week holiday. We have spent time with friends and family and precious time too just the two of us. We have had once in a lifetime experiences and revisited some favorite places. We have stayedContinue reading “UK you’ve been much more than OK….”
The heart is willing, but the body is knackered
We are moving ever closer to our return home. We have said a sad farewell to my sister-in-law and her husband and are now in London. We caught the train to London and found our Hotel and were lucky to get an early check-in. I was shattered when we arrived so was pleased to haveContinue reading “The heart is willing, but the body is knackered”
Our history makes us who we are today…
There have been lots of things that have occurred to me during this trip and thoughts and feelings that I already had that have been reaffirmed. One of the biggest joys of this trip has been catching up with friends and family. The friends and family have originally been my husband’s but I take themContinue reading “Our history makes us who we are today…”
