Dalas
Hello Community,
Mickie and I are in Dallas. We spent 2 nights on the road. It was an easy drive…Interstate highway all the way from Chicago to Dallas. The drive is a little less than a 1, 000 miles (or for those that live in the more sane world based on the metric system our drive was a little less than 160,900 meters or a bunch of “clicks” for my military friends).
However, the drive aggravated my shoulder aches. I became very “stiff”. I needed to stop every several hours to walk around and stretch. Hopefully, I will be able to drive for the next several years (maybe 10?). Otherwise I feel pretty good. I see my neurologist on Dec. 13. I really dislike/hate this PD thing. My only choice is to attack/fight the ugliness/evil of PD. I will win.
We are at Mickie’s father’s home. He is a really a neat guy. His wife died from complications of PD. He was a sole care taker for his wife for years. He was in the Airborne in WW11 and parachuted into France on D-Day. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and became a senior executive of a major oil company…And now he has memory issues and needs a cane/walker…How sad…A good point…he enjoys watching football with me. We have tried to place him in a home…and he resists. We had tried to place his wife a home...he resisted…very frustrating.
Take care all,
Joe
