BUSY. AN OPEN JOURNAL
Hi Journal,
I have a busy week ahead of me, I go to group singing on Tuesday, we do this in addition to speech therapy as an aid to delay the progress of Parkinson's Condition.
Wednesday will see me at my Over Fifties Club.
Thursday I will be visiting a nursing home doing my bit to bring some cheer into the lives of my not so fortunate peers, who are in the later/ advanced stage of the condition.
Friday will see me at my yoga class, this being the highlight of my week.
A few weeks ago I was invited to give a talk to third year medical students at one of the city's universities, the topic was, 'My story- how I manage and deal with Parkinson's Condition.'
In attendance there were about thirty students.
That very same week I had visit me, four students, doing there Masters in occupational therapy.
I was their study subject for one of their assignments.
Happy to oblige and help, I do this on an annual basis. It's great fun and a win, win, win situation.
Well word must get around , as on Friday afternoon just past, I received a most interesting call from yet another university asking me if I would consider giving a talk, on Parkinson's, as part of a tutorial, to close on a hundred medical students. I responded to this request with a positive yes. Another win, win, win situation.
So there you go, O twister of words, pitiful lamentations and profit of doom and gloom. What will you be doing to aid the cause. Your same old vile diatribe I shouldn't wonder.
Barby,Sapphire, do you really think anyone takes any notice of you, let alone respects someone so vindictive and so ill informed so as to offer nothing but a poor me approach and sympathy, neither of which is a help.
It can clearly be seen that you are intoxicated by your own vocabulary. Yes my journal is open to all, I don't hide behind a wall of private journalism.

Aliveo. That is Awesome that you do all of that. Do you find Yoga helps?
Hi Stewart,
Haven\'t heard from you in a while, but it is clear to see why. It is amazing you can fit all of this in, and it\'s certainly given me food for thought in how am I contributing to aid progress. My own little part is participating in a five year study programme and I fund-raise, but both yourself and Alex inspire me to do much more.
Your positive approach is legendary in our house, so much so my daughter sent me flowers saying simply \"Maintaining a Winning Position\" she uses your philosophy too, as she zip lined over the Tyne to raise funds for Parkinson UK on the same day to mark my diagnosis. Your inspiration goes beyond PWPD, keep it up!
