Yeah and that’s what you’re doing now do you think I expect you never to sleep.
We are as well as we can be given the situation he keeps me busy leading him around so that he doesn’t fall over something .
Although he did walk over a child while avoiding the parent and has knocked down a few advertising boards when I took him to Headintgton for fags .
We’ve been sleeping rough but he looks used to that eh?
You get no pity or sympathy from me
Pity and sympathy are words with no meaning
But what you do get from me is my RESPECT
A BROTHER TO BE PROUD OF
Although my thoughts are with you and your family
Keith

Hi gang . Nothing from Tommy yet . But going by the 3 nurses gag he sounds ok
I will text him around 7pm if I haven’t heard from him
Keith
These are my thoughts . I wish to share with you but not to offend
I would like to know what others think and other opinions
Am i missing out , what are your points of view
Or are my thoughts wrong,
My parkinsons is still new to me but it doesnt mean im anyless of a man just as it doesnt make a woman less than a woman
I can joke about my condition with those around me
I can get away with saying things that others may not , but i have the right
But NOT the right to offend others
I laugh and joke about parkinsons but not the people who do
Its how i deal with and manage my day and my condition
I hate the days when my anger raises its ugly head
and things i say are not always nice
I become a complete arsehole as some of you ive already told
We all deal with our varying conditions in many ways
We adjust , we adapt but who said life was easy
At times i have to think more carefully about what i want to do
Where before i just did it without a second thought
My walking has slowed so when im crossing the road i think to myself will i get to the other side before that car hits me
Here is my variation of the chicken crossing the road joke
Why did the person with parkinsons cross the road ?
To find out if they could make it
Thats how it is with me, its harder to judge how fast i can walk and running is definateley out the question
Its a condition where we have to adjust and adapt but coming to terms with it thats a little harder but not impossible
Im still trying to work out who its harder for
Is it me , or my family , who has to adjust more ?
Who is hurt more by this ?
Do i have the right to be selfish and think only of myself
Do i have the right to burden those close to me
Do i have the right to make others uncomfortable around me
There are so many DO I HAVE THE RIGHT QUESTIONS out there
How many of us gave a 2nd thought about parkinsons before it affected us
Me personally i never gave it much thought but i was respectfull of those who did
But at the same time i never thought it would happen to me
I suppose im lucky in a small way as others have it much worse than i do
Will my condition get worse ?
But i will cross that bridge when i get to it
But i will live and do all i can when i can
Parkinsons limits me , it doesnt stop me
I like people to laugh and joke about my parkinsons with me and to feel comfortable , sometimes others are uneasy around me
I can juggle still , but badly
My best card game is 52 card pick up
And when playing darts the best place for you to be is outside
standing behind doest make you safe either
But i do a brillient impression of a drunk man walking
I would really like to hear / read your thoughts and opinions
And maybe a joke or too
Maybe i can use what others say or do in my day to day life to
Im coping but still learning as we all are
Well i think ive rambled on enough now
But feel free to reply ,
Take care
Keith
Hi Keith Peter and Tommy if you are looking in.
Off to Glasgow today with hubby on the train.
Hi Keith and liked your ramblings and share your views except about the jugling, can’t spell it never mind do it. Having as much as a humorous outlook as I can over the last ten years is how i have been able to do with it. It may not cure anything but can feel a bit happy while feeling a lot crappy.
I could actually copy and paste a lot of what you say for myself.
I agree about the darts and mentioned something similar in a post I wrote and before all you great forum members besiege!!! me to re-post!!! I just have on the Younger side of PD page (I’ll get to 1,000 posts).
Views and how we deal with this condition are always in some way going to be different to some one else’s but we all have the same destination even though our journey’s are not the same there is always some one on here ready to help.
Sadly as I need a lot of help myself (hmmn hmmn) this tends not to involve me. I could do with some help of my transport on this journey. I swear to god as soon as this fella with Rickshaw gets tired i’m getting a taxi.
Hey Babs
And how are you. Hope your trip to Glasgow is for something nice. My best wishes for the weekend for you both and also all on the forum.
JP

Babs x
Thank you Babs,
And a nice word from yourself always helps. Catch ya later.
JP
Hi Keith
How’s you today?
I have read your post a few times. You have certainly made me think.
I.had never given parkinsons a thought before I was diagnosed… to be honest I did not really know too much about it.
I think it affects my husband the most as he is the one who sees me trying to get into bed and struggling even to get out of beď. Also my moods although I do not go into a lot of moods as it’s me who has this and I think I am quite good at getting on with things.
Will finish this later as on train.
Have a good day Keith and let me know if you speak with Tommy
Babs x x x
