My life has been up and down, I had a wonderful childhood, growing up, I use 2 race motocross and use 2 water ski, and I loved playing baseball. All thru High School, I played football and.baseball, and my senior year I was MVP in baseball, that was the best time in at that time. Then I got married 2 my high school sweet hart, then we had 2 wonderful sons, the best day in my life when they were born.Life was wonderful for me I have a family that I love so much, bought a house, life was good. Then when I turn 30 I found out that I had Parkinson's , it wasn't bad at first but it did finally caught up 2 me, I just didn't want 2 do anything. I was married for 14 years and then I went thru a divorce,. that was the hardes in my life. I been single for 20 years now. My Parkinson's caught up 2 me when I was 52 years old, I couldn't even get out of bed. Then we herd of a surgery called (D B S ) thank GOD because now I can do just about anything I want 2 do, I am not perfect, but I can do so much more now, with out this surgery I would not be here right now. So I want 2 thank GOD for not giving up on me. So it's been over 2 years now, and life has been pretty good for me, every 3 month I go back 2 my doctor and they tune me up. So that a little about my life..... Jerry
