Just a thought

About me Introductions and personal stories
1

My name is Dave and I am 69

And before 2023 I was doing just fine,

Worked through covid without a hitch,

But then my right arm started to twitch,

Dr said to have a scan to find out what he did not know,

Parkinsons he said well thats a blow,

Now I knew what caused my shake

Parkinsons UK showed me the route to take.

I walk twice a day up and down hills,

And three times a day I take my pills

My life is different but not at all bad,

It could be much worse so I am not sad,

My message is to find a way,

To get the best of every day,

Just off to get a cold drink but hold up on the ice cubes :slight_smile:
