Continuing the discussion from Hip replacement?:
Hi I have now been diagnosed over 3 years now and thinks are not so good at the moment. I get very low sometimes and have very dark thoughts which frustrates me as I was never. Like this in the past all ways worked for 55 yeas yes the have been a number of illnesses over the years but very positive I will always get better?
Parkinson take a little bit of me every day l take the medication as prescribed and on time regular as clockwork.
I feel like I’m a burden to my family and the last few frends I have they don’t always understand why I get so low. I try to keep active but that hard at times. Having. Just stopped driving after over 20 years life has again changed. Because having both my knees replaced 20 years ago they are no very stiff with age.having had my right hip replaced last November I can’t walk very far now but I try not too pester others about it they think it on me Dave he will suffer in silence? I have now got a mobility scooter which lets me have my independents to get out and about. That’s fine but now I’m losing my memory I sum times more often now forget what I’m doing words to describe what I’m feeling or doing to other people. The hardest thing is reading and speaking to other people most don’t understand or now what pd is or how to help.
I need a way to get over this feeling that gets me in to dark places but don’t know other than my family and pd nurse.
Sorry to go on but as i sad at the start this Parkinson take a little off you every day.
