Today was my final check-in with my surgeon who operated on my troublesome knee. He was very pleased with the outcome of my surgery so far and encouraged me to keep exercising and making my body work and walk better after a significant surgery. I had some questions about some pains I have been havingContinue reading “All systems go…”

Dreaded Dentist!
Well, today I started off my Friday with a trip to the Dentist. My second dental appointment in as many weeks. I must say it will never be the highlight of the week! Ever since I was a young child I have dreaded going to the Dentist. I remember when we saw the school Dental Nurses, that they wereContinue reading “Dreaded Dentist!”
Been for my WOF (Warrant of Fitness)
Today I had a catch-up with my Neurologist’s Parkinson Nurse and it was good to have a chance to meet face to face to talk about some of my latest issues. I told her about the shooting pains I am experiencing down my legs and it appears that it is unlikely to be anything toContinue reading “Been for my WOF (Warrant of Fitness)”
A dress rehearsal for Parkies?
I commented to my husband this morning that I feel like my body is attacking me. Not only am I recovering from pretty major knee surgery, but I have another issue plaguing me. I find that if I sit and rest for a bit after walking around, that as soon as I stand up I get electricContinue reading “A dress rehearsal for Parkies?”
My needy knee…
It is now just on six weeks since I had my knee replacement surgery on 29/11/23. I am told that I am doing well by my husband, my surgeon and my physiotherapist. However, for me – as ever impatient to get on – it feels like slow process and that it is taking forever. This experience has certainlyContinue reading “My needy knee…”
Learning my limits …
Well, it is just over a week since I had my knee replacement surgery. I was told that it was one of the biggest and most painful operations you could have. However, I seem to have been managing well and the pain has not seemed too bad. The problem is, I think, that you canContinue reading “Learning my limits …”
Ask for help when it’s needed
In my last post I talked about the pain I experienced overnight that kept me awake and basically meant that I had to get up at 5am as I couldn’t sleep with the pain. I have had a few pain issues at night from time to time but haven’t really thought too much about itContinue reading “Ask for help when it’s needed”
Oh what a pain Parkies can be!
There are many symptoms of Parkinson’s to contend with along the way, but I think that pain is the main issue for me at times. I have had a diagnosis of arthritis for many years now and have had four finger joint replacements. At the moment, I am awaiting knee surgery for a full kneeContinue reading “Oh what a pain Parkies can be!”
Parkies and me and my stupid sore knee…
This Blog is supposed to be about my journey with Parkinson’s, my thoughts and feelings and strategies I use to be able to manage. It has been a very effective way of me being able to get things out of my head and process things. In that way, although I post regularly I do notContinue reading “Parkies and me and my stupid sore knee…”
I’m struggling… so today I asked for help!
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!”
