Parkinsons

[Samjo]

My wife has it.
Has a tremor in her left hand, and for a while it affected her walk. She wasn't moving the left side as quick as the right, and even the left arm didn't swing right when she walked. Physical therapy, and daily exercises have helped a lot. She's not moving quite as slow as she used to. She started going to a neurologist, and wasn't seeing any improvement. Changed to a Parkinsons specialist, and he's the one that put her on the exercise program, and it's really helped.

It sucks, cause we know it's never going away, and it's gonna get worse, but we'll deal with it one day at a time.

When I was 22 I quit working for my dad and opened my own sheet metal shop. He invited me to breakfast or lunch almost every Saturday for 5 years, but I was too busy building my business and never went. He died on the job at 59. Take the time while you have it.
