Reflect on the significance of the support you’ve received from loved ones and the Parkinson’s community, including any stories or examples of how their encouragement, understanding, or shared experiences have made a positive difference in your life.
Just last night my sisters and brothers in law joined me for a rock show. It was late, hot and my meds were wearing off, when I felt my sisters cooling the back of my neck with a icy cloth. It’s moments like that when they notice, and help without me having to ask that mean the most.
I’m curious, who did you got to see?
I agree, it is amazing to have someone in your life that understands what we are going through and shows compassion in those moments when you need it. For me that’s my wife. She is always there to help me without me asking, whether it be to help me putting a shirt on or to massage my hand when I have dystonia. I feel very fortunate to have her.
I saw Mortica and Ricochet Effect. It was a blast!
All of our family gatherings are in our home because we have the biggest house. My sister-in-law and nieces always take care of everything in the kitchen because they know how much I enjoy our time together, but they drain my energy.
