Darlene My life with Parkinson's

Darlene My life with Parkinson's

I am an older model woman in my 60s that was diagnosed with Parkinson's approximately 10 years ago. It took me awhile to realize that this was really happening and that I was changing. As I lose somethings that make me unique I wanted my family to have a way to remember me as I was not how the disease made me become. This is my story as it is, the good, the bad and the unfortunate. I hope you laugh and are encouraged and if we shed a tear now and then it's no worries for life is life and what we do with it is our choice.

    Hi Darlene, When I use talk to text, which I prefer to do, it always misunderstands me. I just remember that everyone knows it messes up, and figuring out what I actually said is just a fun brain exercise for whoever is reading it. 😁

I do love Chinese food (sweet and sour pork is great; it is really nice that my family's Chinese so they know how to make a good amount of the foods or at least go to Chinese restaurants)! Enjoy! Have an amazing week and take care!

    Hey Darlene, good on you. mate,😊 Re, the exercising. You will be up and out jogging again before you know it 🙃 About reading ?,during the pandemic when everything was closed Joan and I each bought an e-reader (Kobo) I really like mine. I can download a maximum of 5 e-books from the city libraries. I can set mine up on a stand. and it is so easy to turn the pages. I was laughing at your story about crossing guards. I actually worked as a school crossing guard here in town, for 9 years. after I retired from my full time job. I have a close friend living near Melbourne Australia who also worked as a crossing guard, over there (but crossing children not roos) Be safe, Len

    Hello Darlene, hope you sleep better too. It is getting chilly here. I burp as soon as the camera goes on. You yawn. Exercise is impotent to keep the core strength. I need to work on mine too. Fish sounds great. Tuna snack is a good snack. I use to cut my parent’s toe nails. My mom had terrible nails. My dad’s were like finger nails. Unfortunately I have my mom’s toenails wish I had nails like my dad. Sorry her eye is giving her trouble. Glad he is almost done with school. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

    Good morning, Darlene . Poor Claudine, I wonder what happened with her eye. One morning I woke up and the entire white part of my eye was blood red. Scared me to death, and I have no idea what caused it. We are supposed to have a thunderstorm during the night. I hope it happens as we are so dry.

    Hi Darlene, The dreams we have and remember about family and friends are magical aren’t they ? I love hearing about those precious moments when the little ones come over to visit as they sure do bring smiles to your face. I wish my littles lived closer as they bring so much joy. The weather here cooled down last night and it looks like a few cooler days before the heat comes back next week. Take Care and have a great day 💗 xoxo
