One of the things that can occur for many of us Parkies is that we start to have issues with remembering things. Some would say, that is just old age, but even if you do not have that many years under your belt, you may still have trouble remembering things. I know when I workedContinue reading “Memories…”

Continence – A wee problem and a wee poem!
Every now and again I get the urge to write a poem about something in my life. Today I am going to a talk about continence issues, a subject that many of us may not admit to having. I hope you enjoy this poem. Continence – A wee problemThere seems to be a problem ofContinue reading “Continence – A wee problem and a wee poem!”
What is love?
For the past two days I have been in the kitchen making hearty homemade soups and casseroles. This is quite a novelty for me as for so long now – probably 2-3 years – I have had so much pain from my knee and then my back, that I couldn’t stand for long enough toContinue reading “What is love?”
Voicing a problem…
In this blog, I have spoken about many aspects of my life with Parkinson’s and new things are cropping up all the time. Subtle changes in swallowing, maybe a memory that’s a bit worse and some other things so subtle it’s hard to put a finger on. I think I might notice a bit moreContinue reading “Voicing a problem…”
A busy day today… I saw an old lady…
I have had a very busy day today. It started with going to hospital for an appointment for a Coronary CT scan as I have been having sporadic visits to hospital due to significant chest pains. I have had ECG’s on several occasions and nothing seems to be showing as heart attack material at thisContinue reading “A busy day today… I saw an old lady…”

The person posting has obviously been struggling with this journey and expressing frustration perhaps because they have been reading all about how people are doing so well. People who say they are doing “PD Warrior” or otherContinue reading “Sometimes being negative is a positive thing…”
Years in your life or Life in your years?
Somewhere, somehow in the past week or so I have heard this said. “You get to the point where there are more years that you have lived than years you have left. That focusses you and makes you more aware of needing to do things while you can.” Like I said, I can’t remember whetherContinue reading “Years in your life or Life in your years?”
Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health
It has been a busy couple of weeks for myself and my husband, starting with five days in Queenstown and then shortly after returning home, a visit from my oldest brother and his wife for four days. It was wonderful to see them both and to show them our ‘new’ home that they haven’t visitedContinue reading “Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health”
Siblings
We have been fortunate this past week to have my oldest brother and my sister-in-law visiting from Melbourne, Australia. I am the youngest of four siblings and the only girl. It was lovely to reminisce about growing up and the things he remembered or knew about our parents and grandparents were good to hear. LotsContinue reading “Siblings”
Having a bit of a day…
Currently, my husband and I are in Queenstown having a short break for a few days. Things have been going well and this has been a trip that we had postponed from October last year due to my back issues. I brought my walking stick with me and also my walking poles in case IContinue reading “Having a bit of a day…”
