As each day goes by it seems that the pain in my life gets worse. The main culprit is my knee. I have written about this before on many occasions and it does occupy far too much of my consciousness for my liking. The ironic thing is that my main ‘condition’ – Parkinson’s – isContinue reading “I’m struggling… so today I asked for help!”

It’s not just about my knee…
I was at work today and have had a couple of conversations with my workmates about my knee and my concerns regarding when or if I can get it sorted. The pain is constant now and I have been advised that I need a full knee replacement. Now, I only saw my Orthopaedic Surgeon aContinue reading “It’s not just about my knee…”
It’s OK to have a ‘Pity Party’ every now and then!
I was just reading an entry in the Blog of ‘Twitchy Woman’ who I follow. Love the name by the way! She is right on the money as far as I am concerned. When she talks about having a ‘Pity Party’ now and then, I think we are pretty much entitled to it! Check outContinue reading “It’s OK to have a ‘Pity Party’ every now and then!”
The gentle art of sleeping in..
I am still working four days a week, from Monday to Thursday. I have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Last night my husband said to me, ‘We’ll be able to sleep in tomorrow, no hurry to get up.” So, here I am at just after 7.30am sitting at my computer, messing around on Facebook, checkingContinue reading “The gentle art of sleeping in..”
New knee needed…
After just under a year, I finally seem to have a way forward for my knee. I have honestly tried to do exercises, ride my bike and go to the gym, but nothing has helped and I still have pain. Over the last two weeks I have seen the Orthopaedic Surgeon twice. The first timeContinue reading “New knee needed…”
A bit of a wobbly day…
As with all of us with Parkinson’s as part of our lives, things don’t always go smoothly. I know that I am a more emotional person these days and it can be a challenge coping with things from time to time. This week one of my work colleague’s mothers is dying and that has affectedContinue reading “A bit of a wobbly day…”
Not so Perkie…
I follow a Blog called ‘The Perkie Parkie’ who is usually a regular writer of her Blog. However, the Blog I read today talked about how she had taken some time off writing it as she was going through some tough stuff at the moment and she couldn’t face writing the Blog for a while.Continue reading “Not so Perkie…”
Pain is a complete pain…
I’m sitting here tonight feeling more than a little bit sorry for myself. My right knee is getting beyond ridiculous how painful it is. I went to make my husband and myself a coffee after dinner and just bending down to get the cups out of the drawer caused a painful, clunk, clunk, clunk inContinue reading “Pain is a complete pain…”
Parkinson’s disease “What do successful people do to slow down PD progression?” Dr. Laurie Mischley
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…”
