I'm sooo grateful we can't ship you off to the vets McGrumpy, life round here would be so much duller. i hope you get your mojo back soon: your posts yesterday were uplifting.
I find I spend time grumping, too, and better I feel for it. You can have too much positive mental attitude!
I just wish people had a much better understanding of how intricate Parkinsons is. I feel most people have absolutely No idea about it. They only see what can be seen, but they have absolutely no idea of what goes on inside me or inside my head .And the constant battle I now have trying to remember the simple tasks ,peoples names, and how to get from A to B etc. etc . This list is endless.Also I feel,having had PD for almost 40 years ,I inherited it from my Grandmother, they have no idea of the constant battle I feel is going on inside my brain between myself, my intellect and Parkinsons
I was in a local pub recently ,they are not places I visit much as even inhaling the wonderous vapour released from my ,favourite ( once long ago) tipple the amazing single malts has me intoxicated it was my hobby collecting rare malt whiskey, I have travelled all over Scotland tracking down some extremely rare examples and really enjoyed the adventures, my Dad or my Brother would come along and act as samplers as I was still driving then, I would often buy two bottles one for my collection and one to imbibe upon arrival home ,it was the most satisfying experience after travelling over 400mls from John O Groats , to sink into my favourite chair with the intoxicating scent assailing my senses my bestist music on the laptop and simply drift off to another world, I would get there very quickly upon draining a very large tumbler of 16yr old Lagavulin or Cragganmore,ah happy days, anyway I am drifting off track, sorry I do this a lot now, as I said I was in mylocal a week or so ago and old BLACKHEART decided to attack , a full on head on attack as only our Brothers in Arms can fully understand my speech was very slurred and I was staggering trying to stay on the same piece of carpet, i was very painfull and embarrassing as I knew all the customers in the place thought I was p$?%ed or completely S$£"!@CED as I heard the barman say, and of course the more I tried to explain the worse it became which made me angry which made it worse , so I was escorted from the premises like a common drunkard , even the taxi driver parked nearby wouldnt take me the one mile to my home "IM NOT HAVING YOU SPEWING UP IN MY NEW PASSAT so there you have it a perfect example of ignorant thick pudding brained dipsticks completely ignoring my explanations there was even three people in the pub that knew me and know I have PD, I finally was taken home by a neighbour who saw me struggling to walk and thanks to him in a very exempelary muchly of appreciationlyness """" sorry I felt like being silly therre,,,,and there.
